No name user 379 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 great effort but do you want the bad news? polyester resin wont stick to it the only product that may work is plexus but in saying that even when i did my manifold with it, it did stick but that was under vacuum i think your best plan is to make one from scratch as i did boost per volume is huge and even at 7psi you still have 500cfm and thus why the supercharger guys only run 7psi the stock manifold is rubbish for making power with boost.

Garett 103 Report post Posted August 11, 2012 Ive just installed the E36 3.2L M3 fuel pump in my car, has anyone had any experience with this pump, is it much better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted August 11, 2012 It's a 5 bar fuel pump, so a good upgrade. Equivalent flow to a Bosch Motorsport 044 unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garett 103 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 ummmm, aren't the stock reinforcement plates meant to go on the inside of the shock towers.... Like the Colour!!! They dont have any sort of support, so cut up some top hats i had lieing around and welded on to stop any cracking around the center hole from running a hard suspension set up. Thanks, the colour is from the new nissan GTR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garett 103 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Here's an idea, let me know what you think.. I have set of e34 x spoke 15x7" rims as seen in the pic below, i was thinking about getting another set of your standard not so desirable 15" wheels and using the lathe cutting 3 1/2" off the rear of the standard ones and 1" off the x spoke and then join the 3 1/2" rear section up with the front section of the x spoke. which should give me a 15x9.5" rim and make 15x9" for the front as i have done some fitments and that's the widest i can go for both. Then polish the lip and paint the center and wrap em with some R888's? Edited August 24, 2012 by Garett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheels are cheap enough just buy some or some old F5000 front rims will do what you want anyone that says it cool to do is an idiot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find myself getting side tracked looking at wheels and thinking of ideas, i think ill decide on wheels once the car is ready to drive. and ill have a read too, cheers. ok so today i cut my bumper support frame to make room for the inter-cooler, it fit perfectly i was very surprised now i have got to get someone to weld some alloy tags to hold it in place. also painted my tappet cover and inside of boot and doors, just finished now don't recommend doing this when it is cold and have poor lighting, a lil nervous to see what it looks like tomorrow.
