Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks guys, Matt: won't be going much lower as once get the bigger wheels with the lower profile tyres it will drop it slightly, but not by much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 Not much of an update, Pick the r888's up tmoro, should have them on the car by Monday. After driving it a bit, and driving Paul's race series car around the block I have decided I need to refine the car a bit, so new cam, intake boot and subframe bushes will be going in as soon as funds allow. Have taken the sponsor stickers off the car, am just going to keep it q ship bar the teeny stickers and the BS stickers I have to add. New suede wheel is hopefully going to be sorted this week.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Car is back up on jacks today for some repairs + replacements. Lip is being replaced next weekend after the v8 supercars (thanks Blair). Am learning how to replace a camshaft after the above weekend too. My diff output shafts seem to be leaking where they bolt to the drive shafts with the allen key bolts, can I gasket this? Also the bolts seem to be vibrating loose, thread lock???? or can I put a nut on the otherside to lock it in, any advice for this is appreciated as it is slightly worrying and is burning diff oil off the exhaust. Made a slight modification to my exhaust to stop it rubbing on the rear valence with some welding wire to keep the tension on it (backyard as I love it). Got my tyres on thursday after my spin, spending the day preping the rest of the wheels for paint and tyre fitting. In a slight tangent, went for a good thrash over Paekakriki Hill in the car on Friday, goes sooooooo much better than it used to, actually has some real pace, had been waiting for that day since I started back in August. Makes the $6k I have put into it worth every cent. Till next time, (with some pictures), Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Sweet looking aweome man those rims are gonna look mint, how long till the cars done? Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments, Sam, I love the color more and more now, have only ever seen 2 other e30's with it. And yeah it doesn't look too bad for a car worth a couple coke cans when I started. And Luke ^ should be within the next month to have it 100% done, but when I have deadlines they usually get obliterated so I am not going to hold my breath. Have my first track day in May I think, that'l really show how well it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have a deadline set then something else will pop up that I want to do and therfore push the project even further from completion lol! But one month should be good dude, thats about what im hoping for... likely story though lol. Good effort be sweet to see how your beast goes on the track Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 ^ Hardout man, I am dreaming off eating alive some bigger displacement weapons. And yeah deadlines are a funny thing, was sposed to have this done by new years, but just got hooked and spent more and more and more money haha. Originally just wanted to replace the shocks, put bottlecaps on and do a rear disc conversion....now look where it has got me hahahahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was meant to be boosting by new years... that somehow did not happen lol. My car started out as a $500 car off my dad I was just going to slam and put rims on... now look where mine is haha, a pile of metal sitting outside my house! Deep down its worth it though no matter how long it takes and damn it has taught me some good patience! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
