sh*t what numbers you getting off that, whats the engine?

By Low comp i mean around 9:1

sh*t man it's coming along nicely that intake is wicked, exhaust defiantly looks the part as does the who look of the car you must be stoked, looking forward to seeing it out and about. If ya ever need a hand with anything let me know ?

A couple of updates, just ordered in some 86.5 mm forged Pistons, con rods and arp studs for a s50 engine that I had tucked away in my one day I'll do something with you pile. Don't know if I mentioned earlier in the thread that I acquired a s50b30 engine from a e36 in which I took the gearbox, subframe, Diff, axles, brakes etc from. It had broken a valve and was bouncing around in the #6 cylinder which caused some pretty serious damage, was thinking of trying to repair it when a s50b32 cylinder head came up on trade me and I picked it up at a good price, I thought the ports on the m50b25 even with being ported were big ports it had nothing on the s50b30 and the b32 are even bigger!! ive stripped and cleaned back the whole engine ready for the rebuild, while the engine is out the body will be getting the once over, gearbox overhaul, driveshaft and clutch upgrade as I'm not sure the factory updated clutch will be up to the job. ive been trying to find someone in Nz who has turbo the s50 with very minimal luck, has anyone done it with forged low comp pistons here?

Don't get me wrong this is a great change to the site, i only have one request, the color scheme.. don't know if its my eye sight or the monitor but find it very hard to read things on the site with the white background and the grey txt and light grey background and white txt with the boarders of each post not far off white, Would be cool if we could choose a theme attached to each account so when we log in it changes to the preferred theme for each person, not sure if that's possible. Like the new features added

Hey if anyone has any 265/625 r17 slicks please get in contact with me, thanks

You don't want a alroad kit do ya?? I could make it fit nice I reckon hehe

That's a bit more within reach than the pandom one

The tyre on the car now are 255/40/17 so when the slicks go on they should be lower profile and wider

What's the costing a on that? I had some wheels arrive today one set of 17x8.5 et35 for use in the wet and a set of 17x9.5 et35 for use in the dry turns out with this offset I don't think I'll need to run any flares now, may just space the front guards out 5mm by slotting the holes that way can run the 9.5's up front with the 265/625/17 slicks

You know what's cool, tyre letters on race cars ??

Started with a old wing core I had lying around, was determined not to spend any money on this wing and just to use what was around, got some front sway bar links off a e90 and front bumper to chassis support mounts that are usually welded to the chassis rails, also off e90 for the base of the stands, some alloy sheet I used for my floor that I had left over to build where I'm upto now, had to use some e30 handbrake cables to support the left and right sway of the wing which are also adjustable. Still to do on the wing is getting an Audi 80 rear wing and cut down to size and place between the two stands attached to the boot and have it adjustable as well for a twin wing look. Then go through and clean up all the edges, bead blast and anodise the alloy, sand and paint the cores and make the wing blades for the side. I toyed with all the ideas of using seat rail motors to make it adjustable from the cabin area which would have been fun but lack of time stopped this, might revisit this one day

Those kits are awesome but at 6k i think I'll pass, try make something myself.

Where abouts?

Work in progress, not the final ideal but I'll get there

Yeah not sure if I'll use it on my race car... Well maybe haha would look totally badass It's my mock up car for ideas, they changing all the time.

You guys wana see the build pics for the wing?

Haha yeah it's a bit out there huh... Is a work in progress It can raise and lower and tilt it's angle, I blew a fuse with my welder, if I could find the darn fuse I'd finish it lol

So I got some flares off an Audi all road including the side skirts which happen to be the same length as the originals next process will be making them fit to my donnor car that will be the mish for next weekend I'm hoping.

Sick cool wheels, both body kits are mean rocket bunny would be unique in Nz, see if they would do a discount for two thou it's quite a lot to spend ant going to make it any faster, would def look the part

Oh my BBS 18" RS-GT911 and RS-GT912 wheels are for sale, need as much as I can to pay for some more good things hehe

Wow time flys..... 2yrs doesn't feel like that long ago I was finishing up and enjoying cruzing around The stock engine has held up good at 12psi boost and I'm still giving it hell with over 15 drift days So now brings me to the next stage in the project, track car. I've been going to the race series with my brother and it's awesome just helping out, I'd imagine it would be even more fun racing Over the next little while I'll be transforming my car, first step is getting the right wheels and tyres... I've managed to pick up some 17x9.5 et20 front and rear so a square set up this should get me around the corners a bit quicker, wanting to run 265/625/17 Dunlop slicks Test fitting is in the pics below I'm going to try keep this up to date with progress and failures along the way

Cool I'm working on some flare ideas at the moment, going to try some Audi allroad ones on soon, have you got an idea on what and if you are going to run some flares?

Pick up is hamilton and auction starts at $700 no reserve
