  1. I made the air box. Spent ages so that it fit really well against bonnet. Looked good in real life, and 16yo me said it added 50hp. I reckon more like 40. The engine had hardly any induction noise until about 6k and then it just screamed. I loved ringing it’s neck just to hear the dort! I hope the LS makes a good noise or I’ll have to put a bunch of Kazoos in the intake pipe to satisfy my ears.
  2. Hi cunts! Straight uploads sounds like someone is paying for a big old server somewhere? Excellent. I always hated the photobucket thing. I’ve got a ton of photos to add soon so will get stuck in. Car was fucking fun even with the 2.8. Had a super light flywheel and an LSD and loved going sideways. Also has a short rack from Z3 which saved my life a few times! On track: Also. It fucking loved to skid. I went through a few tyres! Why is it that peer pressure always emerges just after you’ve bought new ones? I bought a Sikky kit to mount engine so I could focus on other stuff. Kk touched me when I was sleeping once. My fav car that I had to sell recently was my e30 vert. My tenants trashed my rental house and I had to sell the thing to buy new carpet. Sold it for $4500 which I really fucking regret! This direct upload thing is great!
  3. Long time no post. I got real sick of the internet so I made a hat out of pams aluminium foil and stopped the govt stealing my ideas and kinda backed away from the interwebs for a long time. Anyway since then, in true Seedy Al style, I've had about 20 cars and broken most of them. The one I've had for ages is affectionately known as the BBQ. I bought it as a bog standard E36 328i auto and proceeded to throw 10K at it to make it into a really tidy msport spec car with coilovers and bucket seats. Then the engine caught fire and the lovely folks at Swann gave me the car back and $11k cash. How I bought it How it turned out So.. long story short, on the way is an L98 from a VE commodore, Tr6060 box, and a lot of bleedy knuckles and swearing. Engine due in a week so will get stuck in. Also being a ghey, naturally I got an E46 msport 330i convertible and put the wrong offset wheels on it so it rubs and is twitchy, Great! Photos to come, I forgot how to code. XX Spanners
  4. A libero with a poorly fitted bodykit and wheels wide enough to blow my gbox to pieces. Will only come down if its running ok though, I cant afford for it to shit itself on the way down. Would just have to kill myself if that happened, Im a student. Did I mention terrible doors shut paint job?
  5. I think Im just gonna fit bigger turbo first, think about porting manifold later...
  6. Anyone with a libero is surely special! You dont have a die grinder too do you? I have a TD05H to go on but my manifold has the TD04 hole which is about the width of my penis. Small. Hopefully new turbo stops my blue smoke issues...
  7. Im thinking of going, but from chch, not from dirty south. And not rolling OS
  8. Im in oz at the time KK. Plus Liberos are unacceptable at OS meats. Spesh smokey ones w blown turbo seals and 18s and appliance paint! Hi unhuman, keen as. I will get hold of you when I'm back from straya if thats cool. Its 3 weeks away so hopefully you havent lost it by then. Much appreciated Spanners
  9. With my mouth. Um actually want to borrow a guard roller / paint wrecker to roll out my shitty guards. Can come to some arrangement where I kill your ex wife for you, or buy you a box. Any help would be mucho appreciado, rubbing is gettin me down. Spanners 027 305 4261
  10. Yay Matt, a proper forum for you!
  11. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41275-e30-bmw-325i-motorsport-s50b32-conversion I'm surprised nobody has started a disco. Or have they? Anyway to get the ball rolling you've made my dream car and I'd like to offer my hand in marriage. Keen? Ive always wanted to do it, I'm just useless.
  12. Ive decided that you're a fucking genius. This car is the tits.
  13. Maybe. Its not the flashest to be honest, but fits good.
  14. Yeah, like i said it fucking breaks my heart but I cant keep doing this. Earning really good money at the mo and wanna do something clever with it before Im 65!!! Glad it was entertaining for a bit, I promise there will be another car one day but probably more like an old 911 and a bit less ambitious!
  15. Ok this is possibly the shittest thing ever, but this car is getting parted out. The shit on it is worth fucking megadollars (to me anyway!) so get in quick and buy it all so that I can buy a house. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=31568
  16. They are SSR RS-8s. And they are on trade me now.
  17. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =443873366 Selling my diff. Making a wider one. Cant get my wheels widened. Fuck. Also, I hate cars.
  18. Soz im so fucking late. Um I guess it might be heavier, but I have never driven it. Soo... dunno! I hope its a lot better than a 20v. I would expect so - much better power curve really IMO. And i hope it doesnt understeer - I have put a lot of time into improving the suspension. And as for cost... I havent kept count but it will be over 20k when im done. Gay. Not all engine conversion though, thats mainly due to me being shit at life. I think you could do engine conversion into a ke70 cheaper as you could fit standard plenum and use std ecu and shit. Make a big difference to cost. The quads and link setup probably adds 4-5 grand to the total cost if you go all out.
  19. zorst doesnt count tho? everything else does. Thats what my wof guy told me Also, maybe his issue is the lack of travel before something hits the car/bumpstops?
  20. Congrats on being the 1% of people on here who finish their car
  21. Been finishing front suspension recently. Engine back out for gaskets and maps sensor fittings etc. While its out I can do fuel and brake lines. Hopefully 2nd to last time engine comes out! Got a good deal on the fuel line. Got a 10m roll of 3/8 steel tube from repco, was sposed to be $250 but then the old maori lady behind the counter decided that was way to expensive so just changed the price on the computer to $120. Legend. The pic here is with the new LCAs, about 60mm longer than standard. Makes for some nice wide track. Starlet vs modified KE70 Installed with TE sway bar and ke70 castor arms with rose jointed end
