Why hello thur...

Oh mint, your welcome man

Yes you can take them out. No it's not bad. No you won't notice a difference in anything other than a slight 5-10mm drop. Springs will not move around with the weight of the car compressed on them.

Yeah he no longer has this, traded with another member.

Fair call, I was thinking d2's were also Taiwanese. But BC have way better rep, unlike d2's. Ground controls do infact cost close to the $3000 after shipping, then GST once they get in the country, then welding install. All adds up very fast..

From what I remember they are a Taiwan based company. 'Nuf said.

That dude makes it look easy as lol

What is a civic?

Everything engine wise is sweet now. Everything seems to be working. Have modified the exhaust manifolds, Just need to have them welded during the week. So whats left really: - Should get my front struts back this week. - Manifolds need to be welded (have just cut and bent them to clear the steering, now need them welded), then if I get the front struts back I'll take the car down and have the exhaust made to fit the rest of my exhaust system. - Wheels should arrive - Need to buy some new rear shocks, Probably going to get some bilstein sport shocks and have them shortened once I adjust how the car will sit. - Need an e36 clutch slave still, Only just remembered that one now lol.. - Driveshaft and diff to be installed. - Test drive

Happy birthday man m50 power FTW!

Time to do some maintenance!

Some cars will smoke abit while warming up, also if not driven for a while they may smoke abit more than usual.. If it doesn't go away once at running temp, or if it gets smokier under throttle then there may be an issue. p.s You won't find any chocolate in your engine

What are you referring to when you say transmission cover? Does the car run or no?

Ground control.

Yeah I tried flipping it over too but didn't realise the splines were different so I was trying to smash it on then finally clicked why it wouldnt lol. Fits perfectly mint how it is now. Just don't know how it would go down for the WOF and cert guys heh. Maybe if I got cleaner looking spacers instead of the ripped up rubber ones. Then I wouldn't have anything to melt / burn from the exhaust..

I did it. But it's real dodgy having the rubber bush hold them together. So i chopped it just to use the metal sleeves as and hold the 2 parts directly together. Looks dodgy as. Might take the linkage bit in to the certifier and see if he would think thats fine lol.

I have a cluster with a bad speedo. Can have it cheap if you want to rip ir apart for the temp gauge.

I can't find any info on this, But is it OK to remove the big circle heat shield off of the steering linkage ? Removing it would clear about 3-4mm between the steering linkage and exhaust manifolds and I need as much room as I can get as I haven't spaced up the engine mounts or anything. As of now the manifold has been modified enough to clear it barely 1mm but I think it would be easier to pull that heatshield off to clear more room because no doubt the motor will twist and make contact with the steering under when its under load.

Yeah I reckon. I have the z3 shifter in mine, its a good reduction in throw but not too short. Seems perfect.

Hahaha you see me?

spam bot lol

Just had it going before again, Seems to go all good but can't tell cos it's so f*cken loud lol. Only problem this stage is I noticed the rev tach wasn't working. Not sure if it's a wiring issue, or if the cluster I got is bung..
