Got a pedal box here in Wgtn. PM me if you're keen and I'll dig it out of the garage...
-
[old nana speal] Given that it is still technically not road legal, and thus cannot be insured, the price is too high. Just because you got a WoF, doesn't mean it is legit, more-so that the inspector wasn't doing their job. Best just get it a Cert and with the few exterior blemishes tidied up, I'd say you could be commanding a higher price even. [/old nana speal]

So it now has a LVVTA Cert?
-
Good work! Why are the new CA mounts req'd? Have you moved the sub-frame back?

This one, Iranian Airlines Was on that Disco Channel show - Air Crash Investigations
-
Looks V.Shiny!! Got some specs on what is happening under there?? Not so keen on the fender flare-extenders. The tried and true, proper flares using E46 fenders would look more integrated. But hey, "because racecar", if it works...

Dunlop do the DZ02G in a 225/45R16, I recall Barry at MRP had a barely used set for sale off his Levin. Palmside use to have a Silverstone S575 in a 16" around that size (was like a 215/610), but don't seem to be on their website anymore. I do recall, years ago when I was looking (before going 5lug +17's), there wasn't much in 16" Not much help there sorry....

I've got a set (of 6) BBS RX204's (17x8 et38) track wheels I am not using anymore if you're interested... Easier to clean brake dust off than the blingin' Style 42's
-
I think it's because there are far more Evo's & STI's racing that use a 235/45 R17 from factory (ie. Production Race Classes), thus dunlop just bring in what they can move the most of...
-
Was a factory size on the rear of the 3.2's so not 'that' wide. Is the size road tyre I ran on the E30, being a better fit with the shorter height (625 Vs 650 of a 235/45's). Prob' 6 of 1, 1/2 doz' of the other in your case.
-
Nice progress!! Really. no 235/40 R17 anymore..... Think mine are the older DZ-02G's that are 235/40's
-
You can't replace the friction rings on the BMW floating Rotors anyway... Plenty of full-time track cars in the US run the fixed rotors or 'blanks' as they call them (usually 'Brembo'). The Average-joe isn't going to notice the difference for 95% of the driving you/we do. -
Got a hint of the doorty sounds (mmmm) Well done to the young fella!! So... where is the clip of you tearing it a new one !!!
-
Don't like how the '4' looks, and the bonnet.... The roundal should be on the bonnet, and the bonnet should have ended across the top of the kidney grills. [/my 2c aka jealousy]
-
LOL - tell me about it, it's a convenient excuse when it's cold & dark in the garage though... I might even get to a point this year where I will need to covertly get your front end 3D scanned prob' just jinxed myself right there.....
-
Glad you are finding the feedback & forum useful. As with all online forums, you will need to filter plenty of BS and douche-baggery, but the guys here are a pretty good (knowledgeable) bunch. I would be going straight to the LVVTA (the horses mouth), as this kind of 'engineering' design/decision making is well outside the skill-set of a general panel-beater.
-
Ummm, I think the C & D Pillars and Roof are part of the chassis & significant structural members.... Unless there are some more sizeable members than the small SHS's we can see in the pics, it'll need a fair bit more 'grunt' in there. Not ragging on the progress at all, just make sure you get all the ducks in a row, and keep the updates coming.
-
So what sort of structural reinforcement are you going to be making to the chassis?? Have you also spoken to the LVVTA yet (assuming it will be road legal that is)? I know westy got in to a spot of bother with some kind of *engineering workplan* that he needed to have submitted and approved before doing the work. *isn't the right terminology, but was some BS like that*

Got some time in the garage today - did some welding = Fun! Slow-ass project update Flames weren't out the Zorst though - sadly...
-
OMG, this project is so slow. Got the above all welded in, but fially got some Nice Domes head SS capscrews. Been a bit more progress at the front end of the engine-bay. New slam panel with IC & Radiator Mounted: New End tank for the IC coming together: And the mount for the pedal box: Got the reinforcing plate mostly welded onto the floor today for the pedal box mount to attach. So I can then get onto the brake & clutch lines. Hope to get the IC & Radiator mods all welded up this week too.
-
Check out 'Smith & Arrow' for all your cutting supplies, looks like you'll be using a fair few more!! I buy those guys by the box (25) for my 4.5"
-
What you smoking cuz.... that is darn cheap for 2x complete rear arms + axles.
-
Who mentioned the dreaded 'e' word..... I was more curious to real word differences going from a fully Seq' EMS to a something 'less'. Probably more a perception thing I am guessing.... Obviously the improvements in power speak for themselves, bet it's a blast to drive. PS. No Vidi + No Dorty sounds track = It's not real
-
Nice - did it take much time on the dyno to tune the VANOS? Presume it was done as a 'steady state' type of thing? Sorry if [OT] With using the Atom, are you running the Ign as 'Waste Spark' and the Fuel as Batch (3inj in 2 groups)? I was contemplating this for my 1JZ, but 'seemed' a massive downgrade from the sequential Ign and semi-seq fuel (2inj in 3 groups) it has stock. I presume the M54 would have been full seq' Ign + Fuel, not to mention the dual VANOS originally. [/OT]
