d.p.n.s

hi mate how did you find the handling with the drop tank? be intresting to see if it handles better with the tank moved infront of the rear axle.

bought the alloy home and made it after work

Members 2448 posts Posted Today, 03:07 PM found a radiator the size I needed made a shroud for it and got it all mounted (will cut holes for fans when I have the fans I want) also made templates for flowing air to radiator (will cut out of alloy this week at work

ok for the person that text me sorry I deleted it before I saved your number. this is what the complete front is made up of and yes its all just bolted together. e30 cross member e30 20mm sway bar with new bushes and rod ends. e36 hubs ,discs and callipers with braded lines e36 coil overs 99 m3 control arms tree house racing control bush e30 SPC camber plates e36 GSR stud converstion kit.

one thing I have noticed is now there is weight in the front end and the camber plates are fully adjusted ............ I need more camber . on another note I do have all the bits needed to do the brakes and get them bleed up .

not bad thanks mate. I had another go at the shifter and this time its much tighter. I started to make a list of things needed ...go to about 28 and stopped haha I bought a radiator and this week ill make a shroud for the twin fans as welll as a bash guard for the sump. I managed to get some wheels so I can get the parts car rolling so now I can pull the diff and drive shafts out weld the bugger up and bolt them in the race car (till I can get a lsd) but that's about it for now mate. cheers dan

my $28.50 remote shifter. I started by making a spacer block to lift the factory shifter up 10mm and cut and extended the pivot ball bought a alloy rod and bearing (that's the $28.50) could have used an old ball joint to make it for free. heres some pics. now theres about 40mm at the top of the gaer stick between throws. sweet

yeah will be done befor its all bolted back together.the sumps on these are tiny aswell

modifyed the sump today so the motor will sit right back

i cant wait ti drive it

the weight of the motor is about 196kgs but thats with everything onit. i have removed ac pump,aircon pump,and lots of the plastics aswell as half the loom so should be a wee bit less.

i do have all the tank and pumps from my fl parts car but will be using a fuel ceil in the boot and where the origanal tank sits under the seats will be room for 2 mufflers and side exit exhausts

yeah all new stuff will be used incluind injector plugs as when i cleaned up and cut out all the crap i dont need from the look most plugs are stuffed. will be running the factroy ecu for start. i have had it running on the engine stand and cleared all fault codes so it will be ready to wire up and run when its bolted in. im going to make the headers myself . justmoving the steering rack as far back as i can to get the motor as close to the firwall as i can.

sits better with a we bit of weight in it

yip thats what i used on mine and it worked perfectly

the v8 fairy came last night thats a big bitch good old 1uz headers 1 x nice factory header 1x WTF factory header and a quick check (fills the hole) that is all
