Brock-Lee

Fuel tank, fuel lines, front subframe broken, susp. bushes all around, LCA in the front is pwnt, rust, top shock mount in rear, brakes need rebuilding all round, rust, paint, diff mounts are fucked, CV boots and the internal drum handbrake thingy is fuuuuucked on one side. Not all on that list is needed to be fixed for Nats but most of them will stop me getting a wof haha. Also I need to make me some struts that arent uncaptve by ~100mm(zip ties and hose clamps sorted me to this point but if I get time it would be nice haha) As I say, its all doable, its just going to cost me cubic dollars to get it sorted in time. /I have no job after Jan so looks like Im on to a winner

Soon after that^ I drove it up north so it could live in a nice warm garage while I ignored it for a while. Over the last few days I have been returning the height to standard and sorting out what I thought was going to be a few small items for its upcoming WOF. Holy lol. The more I started working on it the more scary I found. None of it is unfixable but it means a few things will require temporary fixes just to get by until after I try to take it to Nats. This is a super pointless update but I am waiting for some paint to dry and I cbf starting another job so I am just wasting time yup yup. Here is a pic because threads suck without them EDIT: Also, fuck the fuel system in these things. My evening tonight is going to be spent trying to trouble shoot a 40 year old EFI system. Fun fun fun Discuss

Haha I was getting excited about having another BMW e3 on OS. This is also rad as balls though. Will make for a wild car at the end of it! Keen to see some skid vids asap haha.

LHD is so much win! Super keen to see this project progress.

Oh man. I don't envy you at all, I was actually in tears with laughter at some points because the wiring I was bodging was so bad. PS that reverse switch is one of my finer moments in life.

Yah I'm in a similar boat to GZA up thur. Xmas part-a's for dayze.

I wont be at watermark but I can put money on the fact I wont be in driving condition. Have fun you gayboes

Are you putting regular window flashings inside those frames? Are the windows going to end up small as bro? EDIT: You must be starting to fizz now!

The only issue I can see safety wise is that it will look terrible.

Stop mucking around with stuff that isnt final. Cut the struts down and get them welded up and then throw your legit short shocks in and have another play. Do you reckon a couple of hose clamps around the strut tube would take the weight of the car to test it? I like testing things before gluing them on with metal.

my lower spring perch had a big ass grub screw that I could mock things up but I ended up just doing the just captive and then move it down a bit for mo slam. I would run some calcs just in case so you have a rough idea of where things sit but I am weird and take way too long to do anything.

I looked for the part number but couldnt find it. I just rung them up and asked for whatever the chassis code pulsar they came from front shocks.

That was about 2 months ago. I went to buy some for Laurens ke26 after we cut the struts too much. ps. fuck you

A pipe cutter also works mean to mark a straight line for you to slice with a grinder. Also a piece of paper wrapped around the shaft gives you a mean line to mark - the wider the bit of paper the straighter the line Last time I rung up george stocks in auckland they had the correct shocks on the shelf etc. (koni rather than kyb) and they were around $110 each trade haha.

Have a look in Simon's corona coupe thread. Add baffles to factory tank as well as a bug ass in tank pump. If you got skills/hookups it'll be cheap and quiet. External pumps be noisy as fuck. I think surge tanks look dumb and if I couldn't hide it under the car I'd be doing the add baffles thing.

Lol I owe rogy a dollar. PS. Beave, it's lendich construction.

Ill take that bet. Im likely totally wrong, but I thought CAT yyellow was more yellowy than that mustard goodness. /Do I owe you $1 now Rog?

Mean pics! I always thought those lendich cars were a custom/zustom colour and I never even got close to clicking it was the same as ol DJ beavetangles kb210. Slam yo shit beave and retake photo haha. I will mosdef be coming to the next one, I might even have an old car to bring, it wont be mine but still haha.

Oxide red box with DOC green roof/joinery. I need to have a look at this site, I have driven past enough times now haha

WTF happened to the resident loctite guy you had in store?

I have no idea how to setup a car but if you have a motor sport authority card you can run whatever camber etc setting you like compared to the tiny adjustment available to road cars/cert rules.

I have done this for my a15 that will never be finished^ Evo 3 CAS mounted onto a cut down a15 dizzy and drive shaft thingy. All the stuff Ive read says that crank angle is a heaps more reliable trigger than cam angle but this will work sweet, was super easy and means I dont have to mount a VR sensor to the front of my engine.

Super keen!

YES! FUCK YES!

We're going to need a few more symptoms than that. Does it turn over and just wont catch? Does it just click and nothing else? Does it do nothing at all? /bash the starter motor and check the inihibitor switch for the trans
