c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Are you missing this hahaha I wish i had a facelift with the lower rear arches to even it all out abit. it will be abit lower if you take the spring pads out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Hahahaha gee thanks rub it in my face That is pretty much what my rear looks like, Sits above the tyre. Front has a mean gap between arch and tyre. So wrong. rear needs wheel tucked, front needs no gap :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 The springs you have got now handle well though. I took them around the Puketapu hills the day i put them in. It was so grippy. If i did it now i dont think i would have a sump at the other end lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 11, 2009 haha yeah that's the bad thing with those jamex's, I went through 3 sumps. And yeah, They seem alot stiffer than the jamex ones, But ffs the height really pisses me off lol. Gotta wait til monday for the rear axle to be swapped over then I can see how well they fare. I guess the less negative camber in the rear will mean more traction lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Im running king superlows, in my sig, (with good matched shocks) surely yours must have an even lower stance with the rear arches being lower (mine being pre facelift) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 11, 2009 It actually pretty much looks like Andrews e30 above this. I have some good condition boge turbo shocks in the rear and a pair of 51mm brand new KYB g-shocks in the front. Wheres my angle grinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 12, 2009 Sorted abit of the height issue. Angle grinder win. And god dammit, Fixed a valve cover leak and now have a massive missfire going on.... Annoying much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Thought I may aswell update this since I'm bored, and to keep on track with where I am at. Everything on the cert list is fixed. new front control arm bushes New front tie rod ends good control arms new KYB G-Shock front shocks King spring superlows Better condition rear shocks Brand new gearstick dustboot Installed the fan shroud, Added the spring washers requied to belhousing bolts, x-member, mounts, engine arm mounts etc. New front bumpstops. Currently overnight at the local Jeff Gray, having them replace the rear axle since I couldn't get it out and I want them to fix the speedo anyways since I can't figure that out either. Once done, All I need is a wheel alignment and report, take it back to the certifier tomorrow hopefully and he will pass the cert inspection, Maybe even get the pinky of tomorrow too, But thats pushing it. Would be mint for the weekend though lol. Runs all good, I am keeping it too btw.. Don't know what came over me the other day But yep just about legal.. Going to be so stoked when I can finally legally drive it around without sketching lol or getting $800 fines ffs... But this isn't the end... I have plenty more planned for my e30, Not going to mention much for now. All i will say is the engine side of things is done and I am more than happy pushing out 12psi, Would like to dyno it still though, Sadly no tuning places around here... but will sort something eventually so i can have a power figure to boast about. By looking at other setups, I can realistically say I am above 300hp at the flywheel.. But then again I have no idea so that's just a number I pulled from my rear end lol.

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 18, 2009 I am so over this car..................... All i did was turn down a street, I floored it and it spun up in second gear, left marks... They measured it 11m long. Impounded car. Go to court next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 18, 2009 Didn't you just get your licence back a few weeks ago? Yep bout 2 months ago.. it's not going to look good at all. Just got my licence back after having lost it for the second time, being snapped once before driving with a pink sticker, now driving again with the pink sticker, dangerous driving, sustained loss of traction. I'm pretty much F'd. Thats from the 9th Oct too. So maybe if I pick up my game I'll be able to drive again from the 9th April next year. MAN I AM SO PISSED OFF!

joshnz 2 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 This is what happens these days, people need to realize, you obviously knew it would spin up? That will be minimum 6months suspension, since you have already lost it previous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
