My name is Russell Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Top Job! Thats going to look sharp. Does welding to your cage void holomigation in any way welding directly on? unsure on rules? if is could weld the brackets to a clamp? Then just do some sneaky tacs to stop it sliding side to side? I like your idea of cutting a triangle brace to go onto the back of it. And moster tacho mount to side Looking forward to tomorrows update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just do some sneaky tacs to stop it sliding side to side? That is a V.good Q' and one I made sure I discussed with MSNZ, and was advised it is fine to add such things. Will need to do so for other items like dash mounts, Brake Bias Adjuster, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ah neat thats good to know, I have always been unsure about this area. Must be within reason i presume, cant go adding extra bracing members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30-323ti Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yeah, always pays to give MSNZ a call to check what you are wanting to do.Things like adding Folded Gusset Plates was a no-no without amending the homologation *bugger* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good things take time I keep telling myself (I'd better not F*#k it up, or I'll be pretty disapointed). Dug up some old pics and added to the first post. Like the style of your E21!!

Those BBS rims look super choice, and do I see a pic of some e34 turbines on there?? *sighs out loud* Sold our EVO to buy our house, still a bit of a tender memory. Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed I sold the LM's and didn't rear mount the face/barrell, but is saying that, got top $$ as they were mint and near new tyres for the family wagon out of it. Good spotting, those turbines were some rare rear 9" versions, I got the pair of trademe many moons ago, with the original spec 255/40's for $15. One needed a refurb (excessive curbage), so still a win really. Shame nothing else has been a 'deal / steal' *LOL* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
