Was actually thinking about it.. Just for the hell of it... You get Vip tickets for the whole weekend for entering. My car will look sweet by then, coilovers in and rims back on.

Would be a bit of fun, especially as the two BARB rotary BMW drag cars are going to be there. If you arent familiar, look here:

It is quite a machine..

FTMFW.

Awesome.

Some XXX rated hardcore stuff going on there.

Mad props for being different mate, I like.

WTF bought the turbo back Gus? you guys have me lost with that car.

Would also pay to check the spring rates as they are propably more JDM orientated

DOnt know all to much about e36 suspension but the fronts should be simple. Rears should be not to hard depending on if the top is designed to fit the factor bumpstop. SOme custom work might be needed.

Come on sam, do the C3

Yea cheers

Haha couldnt be f'd searching

Edit: Also be keen to get a carbon guage cluster surround, like the plastic bit that holds it in on E30, can supply the part for mould.

Gus, you still got that template for the carbon airbox?

Id be interested in one of those. Failing that i could make a cardboard stencil and post it to you?

So much hotness.

They look so f**kING HOT :wub:

Nice car, someone should do this.

Well you are both right haha another DR400 twin shocker for the Far North Beaches over summer + Fully adjustable coilovers

They will be going in after Xmas I need to start a project thread but will be waiting on some more bits.

Cheers

Awesome. You saying that makes me want to rip the engine out of the de-regd ls400 my partners Dad has sitting in his back yard

Good work dude cant wait for vids!

This was in Papakura today right? You live out this way?

Low res cell shot FTW

Tek 2 spolier + bootlid?

How muchy?

HB Buzza.

Get Crunk.

^^ also interested as to why this is no good. Been doing it for years with no troubles...

Theres a write up about this car on a German Forum, actually had quite a Badass Hydraulic setup in it. The whole chassis of the car had to be strengthened with 5mm steel to handle the thrashing it get from the suspension...

Getting any well designed header back on is a bit trickier as access can be very constricted.

Constricted? Or Restricted?

Here we go again....

Bought my rear adjustment plates and eccentrics from bmw2002.com purchased my coilovers from jase @ C3 motorsport in Cali.

Tits.

Much love for the V8 skids eaow

lol

Im speaking from personal experience here, I would not advise 'stretching' a tyre over a rim, in any case why would you need top stretch it over a x7 wheel? I have 16x9 inch wheels on my car and only ran stretch as I had basically no other option. (I.E wheels would not go under the guards with anything more than a 205/40 tyre)

I have now purchased Fully adjustable coilovers so that I can apply slight camber to the front wheels. This is giving me the ability to run PROPER sized tyres. and still maintain no guard rub.

The 205/40's I had on my wheels were sh*t, they rode like sh*t, gripped like sh*t, not to mention after ~2000 k's all of the sidewalls were split and had air in the wall making the tyres uber prone to blow outs etc. In the end I hit a bump in the road which blew out two of the tyres and damaged two of my much loved wheels.

Basically, DONT stretch tyres.

You ARE a Muppet if you do, BTW Just cos the drifters do it dont mean its cool. The reason they do it is because they are on a racetrack and only use their tyres for 2 or 3 laps and dont need traction as much as a road car. The also give the driver the ability to 'spin' their wheels whilst in a drift as not as much traction is availible.
