Thanks. Drop tank it is.

I'm baaaack... But I only have; A tidy(ish) garage A bit of steel And a ruddy great hole But at least I'm doing something ha.

minimum sizes 1.2mm electro galv steel 1.6 allloy 1.0 if its stainless. Orsum. Cheers maaaate.

^^ But needs drain to outside yeah? Also, any requirements as to material for fuel tanks? 1mm Steel ok?

+1 more for Drive Inn.

Anal retentive time. So called M325i ect are only optioned std cars. The only 'proper M' cars are the M3/5 ect. The E28 M535i is the only exception I believe. For daily driver E30 sweetness, throw a 2.8 from an E36 into a prefacelift E30 with LSD and E30 race series suspension. Skids. (on private roads obviously).

^Z3. But same same internals so no point. You wont break a medium case E30 diff unless you do single spinners for 1/2 hour.

Ha, it's Gavin, he gives no fuck for the numbers ya pull but is a top notch tuner. Top car Heath, paint it Renault yellow.

so true that it hurrrts. Can't just say light silver or dark red though. Omg schwartz alpine hellrot techno bronzit polaris silver. Also, http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/ind ... opic=24369 lol'd. Seems you know a few of them ha. Know what you mean though. However, Toyota/Nissan/Merc probably have just as many.

Yeah fair call. Bit fucken late now though ha.

Lol. Whattamean still? You've never mentioned it before ha.

So, the race committee finally decided I could enter this thing. Now I have to decide if I want to ha. If I do, I'll be remaking the body bits in GRP or some sort. Makes all sorts of other issues a hell of a lot more simple though....

Hang it by a piece of string and whack it with hammer like object. If it rings, lighten it. If it goes thud, throw away. Dont go too light and dont rev it too high and you'll be all good. I have 6kg on Alice, have used on another car, and recommend them all day long.

Hard to imagine you wouldn't get at lease some bump steer, it's the pivot that matters. Is it a front or rear mount rack?

Panel gaps I swear E30's have some of the worst panel gaps going.

Very early mock up of the front air-dam. Checking angles, thickness of lip etc. Long ways to go.

I sold an RX4 coupe with a shit load of work in it, was the worst decision I ever made. Store it and wait.

I hate BBS RS. They look bloody good on anything and it pisses me off.

Def true. This car was pretty good to start with, so makes it a lot easier. I painted a kitchen in a 2part silver that was available in different gloss levels. Was quite easy to use and reasonable tuff but dust is a pain cause you cant wet sand and polish.

Few reasons, front arms are past 1/2way already (roll centre correction pins are available), steel edge on the inner guard area, gravel road at the end of the drive, wanna be able to hammer it elsewhere without worrying about it, kinda think it suits it and I'm 38.

I was gunna use this Imola red maybe with some white stripes/race car. Pretty close to right shade in that pic. The other colour was a satin silver/cant do that now can I ha. Imma stick with the RK's for the moment.

1/2 decent updates this time.

This is an excellent site for learning about welding. Great forum, vids and tips. http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/

Looks shit hot. Well done.
