    I agree with this. Ok cool you put EFI on your car. You crash it. And they then know it's been modified and will go looking for.the cert. Just cause they said it's ok to do it, dose not mean they will not decline a claim in the future

    The wife is being very supportive of me attending. Will see on the day.

    I had a jdm 2.5 also. Was an amazing car. It was one car I regret selling. Looked like the black one above. Good luck with it. It looks like its worth keeping

    I do have the sand blaster In the corner you can come use. Also I sold my extra one to Dillon. He has it set up at his house.
  5. Mr Vapour
    Glad to see a thread started up for it. And a great story as to how you found it. Looking forward to.seeing your progress.

    I lived in a place called Redondo beach. Cool place the pier had some cool pubs, not far from the airport. Ride a bike to Venus beach. Two freeways close. Have no idea on cost. But could be a cool base. How long are you there for
  7. Mr Vapour
    I lived in LA when.I was 20. You need a car. The place is fucking huge. Having a car will let you go down to San Diego, up to big bear and all the good outlet malls are on the out skirts. And need to go to six flags and the water park. There is a race track at Pomona and I think you are planning on going to a car show. Again it's.on the outskirts. Where are you planning on staying?
  8. Mr Vapour
    At least cut all the rust out. There is still raw Steel with active rust in that repair. Seal up up all you want it will keep rusting. You say you have no time. But you will end up doing it again in the future. Why do things twice.

    Have a look at the rail that the exhaust hangs off. On a 323 it's on both sides on everything else it's only on.the left
  10. Mr Vapour
    Yeah I have a 323 but all the special parts that make it a 323 have been sold off. The only way to tell its a 323 would be by looking under the rear and seeing the longer chassis on the right.
  11. Mr Vapour
    And it's only got a single exhaust. It's a 320/6
  12. Mr Vapour
    Also has it got vented front discs?
  13. Mr Vapour
    That will explain why it has a 2.0l and a carb. It's.properly a 320/6 not a 323. Run it's vin through a new vid decoder and that will tell you.
  14. Mr Vapour
    Have you taken out the rear seat and checked out the strut towers yet? What's the floor like it
  15. Mr Vapour
    That pillar rust is factory fitted
  16. Mr Vapour
    On another note. I am keen to upgrade the steering. The factory rack has like 4.5 turn lock 2 lock. In Europe they are fitting e46 racks with 3 turns. They mount a RHD rack on the LHD subframe. Seems to work. But no one can give me any information and bump steer equations don't even seem to come in to it. I have done a bit of reading and I'm still no closer to understanding. As I will have to buy and import a LHD rack I want to do the math and make sure it will make it past certification. I'm off to look at YouTube videos if any one has any good ones.
  17. Mr Vapour
    Not much. But this is the e21 subframe mount tacked on the the e21 subframe. Lots of measuring and a bit internet research and I'm happy with where the wheels sit in the guards. I am now on the look out for a e34 rear swaybar to retro fit to the e28 subframe and a set of camber and toe plates then the subframe is off to get welded by someone with more metal sticking all than I have.
  18. Mr Vapour
    Has it got the BBS plastics under the rear bumper
  19. Mr Vapour
    More photos please. Looks like it might be a good start from that photo. Yeah it has the full bbs kit on it. The side skirts are not best looking. Tell you the truth e21 are very hard to get side skirts look good. I'm keen to see the rear end. The wheels are just standard e21 13" turbine alloys. More photos.
  20. Mr Vapour
    And thoughts on the screw in stud option for BMW to replace the wheel bolts? Would it be ok to put one stud in each wheel to locate the wheel and then factory bolts for the rest?
  21. Mr Vapour
    Ahh I was going to ask you about how you were finding the time.
  22. Mr Vapour
    Inspiration.
  23. Mr Vapour
    It is also set at max height. Once the guards are cut I will give it more low.
  24. Mr Vapour
    Yeah I love them 17x8 +20. Genuine bbs bmw style 142. $300 pick a part bargain
  25. Mr Vapour
    Yes was such a good feeling getting the parts on and pushing it out the shed. It's going to be slow going but at least I can move it again.
