    Ok this guys working very fast. one question where did you get the strut brace?
  5. look good man cant wait to see the other beasty in action.
  6. I talked to the guys at pro coat last week about getting my manifold coated but the guy overseas f**ked up there order and it will be a few more weeks before they get any more heat coating in, i guess im in the frame of mind that it is holding me up, but really there has got to be other things to do on it that can be done while i wait for the shipment to arrive. any ideas? Got bored today after work and thought i'd slap some 225/35/19 tyres on the e66 19x10 rims i had here in the showroom just for kicks, hell of a stretch. then i put them on my race car just for shits,,,

  11. Can people add knowledge for the basics as you find it in your travels or if you just know it. would be nice if anyone could just come to this forum to get all the info instead of spending hours looking Thanks for your input Thorburn
  12. Ive taken information from other sites and placing it here so we can all know the basics First things first - TOE. What is toe? Imagine standing upright , looking at your feet. Now imagine your feet are your front (or rear) wheels. Move your toes so they are pointing away from each other - this is toe-out. The opposite is toe-in. Most cars come from the factory set up with a pretty 'normal' setup, meaning that they are pretty close to parallel. This is the recommended starting setting (parallel). As a rule, toe-in creates stability at the expense of response, and toe-out enhances and sharpens response at the expense of outright stability. Rear toe settings. Most drifters tend to run with as close to parallel on the rear as possible - adding toe-in on the rear will make it harder to initiate (because the rear wil be more planted), and when grip is regained, it will do so quite suddenly. However, error on the side of toe-in is preferred as running rear toe-out wil make the car very jittery and difficult to drive with any confidence. Front toe settings. Front toe-in aids straight line stability at speed at the cost of slower turn in - and front toe out will make it twitchier at speed but turn in quicker. But going too far will end up making the car unstable at any kind of speed. If you go too far the car will become very snappy and difficult to drive - and thoroughly excessive toe settings on the front will mean that the front tyres are always on the verge of losing grip - again, not inspiring confidence and promoting the dreaded understeer. For a starting figure, look to be having about 1-2mm of toe-out, and you won't be far off (as a starting point). --Body roll takes away camber. --Beating body roll by dropping the car's center mass is a big win. --Beating body roll with sway bars is not entirely a win. Sway bars reduce traction because they lift the inside tire. If you have plenty of rear traction, for example, then reduce body roll by tightening the rear bar. That way you're stealing traction from where you can afford it. All information found is information on other sites and may not be completely accurate, correct me if its wrong.
  13. Thanks James it kinda helps then lol You would not believe how hard it is to find a great set up to start with. Bare in mind this e30's front and rear arms have full adjustments

  16. Thats exhaust wrap on the manifold. down pipes ok to do.
  17. Quite a lot of pipe alright, id say it will be getting pretty hot under the bonnet, i will send it away to get HPC coated black. may have to make some sweet bonnet vents lol
  18. I Have 3x overheated V12 engines for sale 2 complete and 1 in parts im looking for 1500 cash, will be on trademe soon, cheers
  19. Cheers, good to hear. Got the exhaust fitted the other week and first time view last weekend, i am very happy with it. Also the last weekend i removed the engine with help from my lady friend who was on the tools, did quite good i might add, removed the manifold and taken it to get its 3" exhaust flange completely welded on as it was just tacked due to not enough room while on the car, i will be sending the whole lot off next week for heat proofing, also plan on putting the water to turbo and gates while the engines out to make things easier.
  20. Cheers james that would be very helpful
  21. Sorry can you please put this in vehicle set up **Moved
