Josh Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Well i dont think 17s are going to fit, its to low for them so mite have to stick with 16s. Getting some 8mm wheel spacers as well so i can wind the adjusties down a bit lower too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Awesome dude, just awesome. Can't wait to see the finished project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Damn, like to see how this compares to my car when they're done. Opposite ends of styling scale eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 That engine looks mint aye. Few questions. Looks like the front cover of the turbo is going to hit the side of the engine bay? Can you just clock the front cover to get around this or is it not as bad as pic? What ya doing for brakes. Any servo you have is going to have to have the chop. Have you not rebuilt it with forgies etc like you wanted? Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Damn, like to see how this compares to my car when they're done.

CaMpylobacter Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 chur on the progress.... hit sparkle up if you want remote brake boosters. I'm sure his e12 has 2x remote cunts. will check that out for ya in next few days but yuh, he's likely keen to flick them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Methodz - wata u mean the front cover... I dont have the headers with me at the moment so i couldnt check it, ive held them there roughly but still not 100% hope it doesnt Brakes...looking at getting these discs off a 2.8i: http://www.capriclinic.com/product_info ... cts_id=287 Unsure of calipers yet, open to suggestions Na I havent rebuilt with forgies etc YET, i dont have the money for that at the moment, so im trying to get it going how it is for the moment, make it stronger later. 20k tax bill doesnt help, but good in a way as its prompted me to do work myself which im stoked bout. Remote/brake boosters, still young to knowing things about engines etc and im yet to read all about these, anyone who wants to share info please do...

Gaz Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Those disks seem cheaper here. http://www.palmside.co.nz/parts.asp?mak ... ory=BRAKES As for the brakes I actually ment what are you going to do servo wise like cam mentioned. The booster is going to need to be taken out of the engine bay in order for that turbo to fit. It means your brakes will be heavy without. A remote booster just lets you have the booster under the dash and the resivours on top oif a custom pedalbox. Best part of $1500. I mean the front turbo cover. You need a pipe to come of it and it looks like the pipe is going to hit the side of the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Also easiest caliper upgrade for those is the austin princes 4pots with the princes to 2.8i capri spacer kits. Also will find them on that site I dropped before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
