e30guydownunder 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 I feel retardedly slow when I read all these updates ha. ^ Me too! Awesome progress (again) Eddie. That makes three of us When I get a spare second I will start a thread for you all to tag along with my inactivity rot62, what are you doing for a pedal box? Retrofit OEM stuff or something like a Wilwood Twin master setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retrofit OEM stuff or something like a Wilwood Twin master setup? I brought a Tilton pedal box off trademe But it hasn't turned up yet I found this picture on the net and so this is going to be the new paint scheme for the 2002 Edited March 10, 2010 by rot62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Are you aiming for any particular tuned length for the inlet manifold? Its something i have been looking into for my project. Seems a half art half science sort of thing. I would like to say I sent hours working out the length of the inlet runners, but that would be just crap. The runners I cut out of a toyota beams manifold and thats how long they were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 et11= offset? If so they would stick outside the guards by about 10mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That picture of the colour scheme is BAMF as! The little 2002 looks a bit soft stock, but those flares really beef it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted March 14, 2010 Mounted the steering column today. Had to cut off the mounting bracket for the E36 and make new a one to suit the 2002 mounting point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Also today I got the pedal box mounted up. Due to a design fault (made by me) the clutch master cylinder didn't have a enough room to get the cap off (to close to the steering column above) so I cut about 10mm out of the cylinder and then welded the tread back on. The weld marks above are from the reinforcing plates I put the outside of the fire wall, just to give the fire wall some more strength.
