WYZEUP

My bad is a coupe…sorry bro

Also after getting the exhaust sorted and finalised, we discovered it was waaaaaay too loud, so have had to reconstruct 2/3 of the exhaust and re-route as to allow for two 14inch resonators

Things are slowly getting buttoned up ready for its first move under its own power........ -brakes are bled -clutch is bled -custom high pressure powersteering line -powersteering, washer bottle & expansion tank should be completed today (fingers crossed) then can finally put the last fluids into the vehicle and pressure test all systems and try and get the vehicle up to temperature, get the fans working (hoping ive wired them properly) all the final checks -finish my rust repairs and paint (temporary until paint the entire car) -retrimmed back seat in anthracite plaid and have order additional plaid to retrim front seats and sub box later next year

theres one on trademe, but he's a little out on price. been for sale for a very long time so youd think he'd be negotiable by now

Starting it up and hearing that sweet v8 rumble

pretty cheap on ebay if you dont mind waiting

similar to this??? https://store.garagistic.com/e30-performance-parts/E30-front-strut-bar

As above looking for a e30 front strut brace to finish of my engine bay. anyone got one they no longer want??

Hey guys, one of the last bits I need to finalize my swap is a e32 m60 power steering pump… anyone please or e34 should work also. Non self leveling suspension type.

Your welcome bga hahaha, interested to see how the re-trim comes out as i want to do something similar but with a set of recaros

So as a lot of you know I've managed to get my car running. now I am in the final stages of starting to clean everything up and one thing I would like to clean up is the intake pipe from the throttle body. what are the affects of removing the iacv? As I'm considering removing it to have a nice alloy pipe made up???

not really, just need to make some new fittings that go into the block to my oil lines, the ones i initially had were alloy and they obviously didnt seat very well into the oil housing so will make some steel ones from the factory lines.

I am going to run a e36 m3 radiator with a 16" pusher fan. If by chance that doesnt keep it cool i will have to resort to a mishimoto or similar radiator.

you'll need new LCA bushes to work with the e46 arms, garagistic and the like sell the weld on tabs. there is a cheap set of m3 shocks on trademe

Well today we had a big accomplishment. Have a couple of small issues to sort but the big news is IT RUNS…the beast is alive!!!! I'm so pumped right now. Will try to get a video soon.

Thank you very much for that, helps me with ordering my material

It does indeed say get murked lol, just a bit of a piss take

So with re trimming the seats how you have how much material did they use to recover the centers front an rear? im looking to buy some 1.5m wide fabric but don't want to end up with too much

Hmmmmmmm…not sure covers on or off. Like both looks. getting close to a test fire now. Hopefully over the weekend once I get the clutch and brakes bled

be interested to see how they sit, i have some rails but was considering these as a back up so theyre all yours

still got the seat subframes???

It's a cut ring gasket so will slightly cut into the head and the block to handle a lot more pressure and less chance of it blowing out

thanks, hopefully by the time its finished should be a nice clean finish, are a couple of small things i would like to change, but will address those later once the vehicle is all up and running, would really like to de-loom the engine wiring as it quite bulky. but that is another project all in its own

Not running yet. Waiting for a couple of small parts to finalize the engine assembly. driveshaft hoops I got from Mike @ euroturbo. They're a little more on the expensive side but straight bolt in and up to cert standard http://www.euroturbo.nz/_p/prd1/4450547471/product/e30-drive-shaft-hoops-kit
