Bump. I need the body side of one of these plugs, looks like its more common than my T plug which I cant even find a photo or reference too

Forgot the camera again, but shes looking more and more like a drivable car. Take pics tommorrow Got the engine in, had to grind a rib on the M50 block to clear the huge early E30 starter. Getting the engine in wasnt too much of a nightmare, its tight on the firewall side though. Got the gearbox crossmember modded and bolted in, think I might have to do something about the shifter console, its all on the piss. Whiteline front bar is in. What a bitch. They are about 10mm too short I think, the bushes ride up hard in the radius's and make installation a total mare. In fact the rear bar looks too narrow as well. Its all in though, hopefully the bushes are up to the job. Added to the fact the kit came with half the bolts AWOL, im not that impressed. Gonna email whiteline as the fit is really sh*t, and could be way better. They are however EPICALLY stiff. Serious go-kart stuff. Lowered the front end, got some cool stance going on, the sway bars are so stiff that undoing the tophat on one strut is pointless as the swaybar doesnt allow it too drop. Makes it very entertaining when adjusting the ride height.

Shweet, be there 8-5ish today, gonna try jimmy my way in to do the wiring on my car tommorrow too. If the front door etc are all locked up shoot around the back. Lots of theiving dero buggers in Mt eden. Some dude stole about 600kgs of engines and old gearboxes in the weekend. Broke into the locked scrap cage and stole every peice of alloy, and left behind all the sh*t...

Be awesome to have a looksee at a real live working one, but am kinda at the grindstone with the M50 swap, off to seattle next week so time is precious! If your around Mt Eden at any point and feel like collecting some beers, shoot into the TTT auto chop shop (behind burgerfuel) at 222 Dominion Rd

If you want to try a swapping it with a known good booster I have one you can have. Its currently in the scrap pile, but can be rescued if you want it, just yell out before it gets converted into beer money.

Cheeers!

Shes rollllling Engine goes in tommorrow, sort out the wiring, make a new gearbox crossmember and start fabricating the exhaust. Then turn the key and see what happens

Me Ill fire it up again in 30 odd min if your keen to see some more mad drift skills! (HA!) Hopefully the server doesnt nut out again, got really confusing and was kinda laggy (your car was jumping around the track)

Anyone able to post a pic/pics of how their battery is secured, how the cable is routed (under the dash), and where the + terminal block sits on the firewall, in an E30 boot setup (factory) I have a box of random bits im trying to make fit together. Could just mongrel it, but there must be some combination of bits that works! Im pretty sure I have excess bits too, some dont look like BMW parts

Ill send you the k car now, you send me the vitz. K car is pleeennnty tweaked to beat the K car race. Save me from buying a vitz lol Happy to swap back once ive done the vitz race. Also have a hot 98 mini and a weapon for the light weight british cup. Need a hot ferrari and gallardo, and a classic race car if anyone wants to play swap cars

Just noticed that my new diff has a different speedo plug to my car. Car has a standard looking T style plug, diff has a funky looking white thing with round edges. Anyone got the car side of the plug with round edges so I can solder it in? Cheers.

Swap ya vitz for a tuned K car if ya want, cant even remember what it is

Just looked at the paperwork on the BC's Front and rear springs rates are 6kg/mm (336 lb/in) Hows this compare to yours APT?

Multiplayer tonight? Keen as bean. Something close to race with, like under 250hp so you gotta work to win

Between $120-170 for magparticle and certification for two struts. SGS in onehunga, they do it while you wait.

Rear end done, finally. The trick to getting the sway bar bushes in is two vice grips, a small one and a big un, and a prodger to line the bolt holes up. Crank it down as far itll go with the big un, clamp the little one on to hold it it in place, release big un, crank it down again, reclamp little one. Rinse and repeat as necessary while lining the holes up with the prodger until you can get the bolt in. First one took about 45mins to work out how to do it, second one took less than 5. Word to the wise, the diff needs to be out of the picture to get the sway bar in (doh) Unfortunatly one of my front struts weld failed NDT, so redo it and recheck it tommorrow, and then she'll be rolling again.

Hey Im not a hater! , but being a prick on public roads, then posting it online is not clever. I enjoy your vids too, dont enjoy people doing stupid sh*t on busy public roads. The E30 on the track, with the other one spinning out in the rear view, was the best one. But even then you had people complaining about others in the car haha. Personally I dont care if you have someone in the car on the track, they chose to hop in knowing the risk, so did everyone else at the track. Little cindy walking home from school wont have any choice in the matter though Car looks awesome by the way. Big wheel want going on.

I priced up a set of flash DBA rotors from BNT, at trade, for an E30, the discount wasnt so flash Went into the "yikes" pile. 4-5 Sets of segedins $50 rotors for the price of one DBA set.

Feels WAY tighter than the original bushes. My trailing arm bushes were OKish, the main subframe ones were split in two though. Looking forward to seeing how it drives Car had a weird knock from the rear left around a RH corner when you jumped on the gas, I never found it, but im guessing it was the whole rear subframe moving haha! If ya looking for someone to install yours my mate with the workshop in Mt Eden has been watching (and laughing) as I installed mine, so has picked up on the tricks of the E30. He now rekons he could do it all in a couple of hours. I wanna see him do it, so getting him to stick to the few hour quote would be quite comical

Yeh she looks like it melted a bit in the sun, front end looks droopy.

Need to try some online races. Keen for a race tonight? 9.30ish? Buick 62 Special, supercharged with 900hp for the win! Look like a pimp while wooping the competition

Rear subframe ready to go back in, stripped the front struts ready for welding. Installed the clio booster, was piss easy to tweak it to fit the E30 master cylinder. Took a 1/4" drill bit, cut it down to the right length as a spacer (needs about 20mm to sit nicely in the master cylinder), ground a concave in one end, and convex in the other, sits in beaut and is nice and tight. Opened up the holes on fork to accept the E30 pin and bobs your uncle. Bolts in perfect with a slight tweak to the brake lines to line them up again.

How am I assuming the worst, or even your lifestyle? wtf. It only takes 1 second of your awesome skills too kill someone. Road works is a 60kmh zone, your doing twice that. Wanna know what happens your stig skills go pear shaped? You get my drift, but im sure your on another level. Just saying its really dumb to post vids of your number plate doing dumb sh*t, particularly with no wof or reg! At the moment, with all the boyracer bs, Chch cops would love to take your license and car, After that you can post vids of you doing the summit rd run on your 10 speed

Yup have. But you might as well call the cops and say please impound my car, your number plate is all over the last one. Douche, doush same sh*t 100kmh in a road work zone, where my mrs works as a engineer, and being a big man and doing skids out in front a little hatch on main rd. Your vids are cool, but dont be a fockwit on busy public roads, however you wanna spell it, or you deserve ya car locked up.
