Tang, de sprang.

Right on brother

Hey man, nice car. Just wanted to post here to question your sexual preference and to say that I too would like an M3.

I really like the deck cut into the hill, it's free shelter.

WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCKHOLE

I apologize in advance if it's obvious, but what is the reason for cutting into the side of the hill for the deck rather than the other side? Is it easier than building long piles? Asthetics?

I used redline lightweight shockproof and my gearbox ran so smooth

The answer to every question in this thread about exhaust sizing.

Morrinseville toolshed were the guys to see, I can't remember the name of the guy to talk to now though.

I have this and it's amazingly handy. http://www.hitachipowertools.co.nz/shop/Cordless/Accessories/Radios+Torches+Blowers++Vacs/2-Way+LED+Worklight.html

Fixed tools for awhile and the only companies I can recommend are Hitachi and Makita. Makita had the best after sales support and general quality of tools. You should only consider brushless these days, no maintenance required and the electronic protection means you can't overheat your shit. This is the big daddy of 1/2" wrenches and will undo everything got every need to but it's pretty big. http://www.makita.co.nz/products/model/DTW1002 This will do 90% of what you need to do and it's so short it gets in the fiddly places. http://www.makita.co.nz/products/model/DTW281 I recommend going into a makita central and having a play with them to see how they feel. They often have pretty sharp deals on combos too if you wanted a cordless drill, grinder, vacuum, coffee maker etc.

A+ turnout

Bruh keen

Parts shop max have an air spring option to replace the spring.

I'll set it on fire for free

Old mate at work tells tales of the good old days spanner spinning on British shit, rolling up a racehorse or two for the boys at lunch

What secrets can you unleash with ciggy papers? Is it for checking backlash or mesh on gears?

Use blues for more time

quarter as much backlash as a 5" angle grinder

So uhhh more things have happened, though I have very few pics because my sd card has been failing for awhile and I didn't notice. Dave and I ummed and ahhhd about the shitty UJ angles, and it was clint who gave us the idea to use cv joints from a commodore driveshaft. So we crawled around under some smelly commodores and fetched the sloppiest driveshafts zebra had to offer. I don't have any pics of what they looked like factory but here's what an end looks like. The adaptor that bolts to the cv and slides into the gearbag Here's the adaptor that bolts between cv and diff. Got some aliexpress exhasut wrap and did a thing. Lots of grunting, swearing, hitting and drilling and driveshaft loop is in. I wanted to move the spring perch forward so the diff can happily sit back further, threaded rod tells me where to put the centre of the perch. So It was about now that I got real unhappy at how much toe in it had, and I was real eager to have a go at fixing it, unfortunately my phone didn't save heaps of pics. How to bend diff: 1) remove everything not a diff case and make a jig around it to stop it flying into orbit when the welds break. 2) remove centre bits from diff head and spin up some bushes from delrin to replace the carrier bearings 3) spin up an "axle" from a piece of bar 4) put the things in place and now you can measure where your "axle" is sitting in the housing and use secret dave maths to calculate camber and toe 5) use bottle jack to abuse the diff case into submission 6) measure, success, marvel at the simplicity After this, dave very kindly donated his steel barrels and tyres (bruh skids on) for me to make some wheels that fit, I don't have any pics of this either but it briefly features on snapchat (thanks pooman) So yea grind the flange from the barrel that used to be there from a previous life, cut the shit out of a townace centre and hydraulic press that bitch in. Bolt onto car, adjust offset and run out with DTI magnetted to a mazda engine block and you're good to go to glue it together. Somewhere in amongst all that, dave sneakily tightened the shit out of the gilies and I believe it's tuned to a high c? They look absolutely perfect on the car, I couldn't be happier. Huge thanks to dave the tame machinist, he didn't choose the brap life.

holy shit that exhaust is like an industrial dream catcher

9/10 maiden voyage, everything went better than expected

No time to remove tyres, I let them down to atleast 13 psi
