    Is my car a super eta?

    Alright so my e30's production date is 10/87, it has the late model taillights but has the early model diving boards but they are tucked, the badge was removed on the trunk before i got it, the tach goes to 5000 and the redline starts at 4500, has the seta valve cover. I don't know whether she is a seta or just a plain old eta but either way she's slow.

    '88s have shorter/tucked diving boards. Sounds like a seta. They're still slow, but the advantage is they have pistons that will match the combustion chamber shape from a 325i head if you want to do the swap.

    SEta went to 6k. but the cluster could have been changed. 10/87 should be super.

    Check head casting number between #3 and #4 intake side. Should be 885.
