Also, thinking about sticking a low blow turbo on it. Something to make around 350 fly-horses.
Anyone with any great ideas re std equipment turbos that might fit the bill? Evo or similar? Cause cheep-cheep.

So, boredom setting in waiting for the slow wheels of bureaucracy to move led me to construct this fake splitter from a piece of ply and a strip of stainless I had lying around ha.




All ready for quick self removal at the first glance of a curb...

For repair certs? dont know to be honest, not my area of knowing stuff. we dont have to deal with those

Nah mod cert. Lance is gonna try and find out. Tis a pain in the arse tbh.

Whats the story with Car-o-liner reports? Have to be computerisededed?

Had a perve at your steed today. Looks good! Flares are a lot bigger than I thought from photos.

Shoulda found ya and had a closer clothes off look

Ta.

Was probably hanging about the GTO, reliving my youth.

Pfft wedding anniversary happens every year!

Indeed they do. Have made arrangements, will attend.

Good work, keep going.

Meh, turns out it's a wedding anniversary Sunday. That's me out.

Righto, will attempt to make this in E30.

Much police attention involved?

Damn. Mighty pissed off with self.

Thanks.

So, I just fitted some driveshaft loops, and I think I cocked it up royally.

It's a two piece shaft and I've used 32x6 instead of 50x5 (don't ask why I had those numbers in my head, I've no idea).

Is there any lee-way in this at all, considering they are only little short shafts? Please say yes.

You are, of course, all completely wrong.

Carry on.

Droptanks rule.

There're plenty of guys in the BMW race series running the rear coilover like that, no problems heard of. The same basic shock mount on E30/36/46 etc.

Pretty sure it's the balancing that bumps the price up. Frinstance, I had a shaft shortened and balanced for $301 a while back but have been told $80-$100 for shortening only.

If you pull a shaft apart and reweld it in exactly the same orientation, it often doesn't need rebalancing. IMO etc...

BM motor's a biggun though, hell even the Cleveland is probably smaller.

No idea to be honest, there are so many I loose count.

There'd be an E30 trainspotter somewhere who'd be able to tell ya though.

Also, also, no sunroof!

These things still handle well with a light (ally block) six in 'em.

It's the rear you gotta watch out for ha.

Looks like a good base though, and early girl so bonus there also.

Bugger.

Do approve.

100 types of awesome.

Real men smoke Eagers!

So, I may, or may not, have driven this thing from Hville to Silverdale the other day. And it may, or may not, be something of a hoot to drive.

Noisy (no sound deadning), smelly, bumpy (she must be pretty light, it's been some work getting the height down) and a bit twitchy (needs a wheel alignment).

All systems work! Plenty more fettling to do but these things are never really finished I guess.

this shit makes me mad.

way way over the top punishment for something they cant even prove you did.

ive come across many younger dudes who have had this happen.

and they wonder why people do a runner from police. i know a guy who did, crashed and got caught and it only cost him another month (7month loss of license) over what it would have been for just stopping and getting done for excessive acceleration, some people would take those chances.

another guy ive talked to about it took it to court, spent $$ on a lawyer and got off it, and the cop that charged him with it got demoted. i think they pick on younger people cause they know they dont have the $ for a lawyer. another one ive spoken to actually got told by a lawyer to just plead guilty cause it was less hassle.

We called this didn't we?

Welcome to the new New Zealand.

Guilty until proven innocent.

Shits me to tears this bullshit.

Care to elaborate? Are you saying this is a myth, or a fact, or what?

Oh alright then.

The myth is that chassis dynos can tell you how many powers you have. They cant, there are far too many variables.

They're a tuning tool and nothing more.
