Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Well - this is the final build in my car. Will be done in about 3 weeks. So what have I got: Full Turner Motorsport JStock suspension to go in. The JStocks have - adj. r sways. front sways. custom springs with custom bilstiens (back ones upside down to reduce unsprung weight). All subframe reinforcements - in fact a very complete kit. Clutch, SS lines meh - virtually everything new hah. some more urethane etc. Going in for roll cage, heads, exhaust, seats + harnesses. tuesday. My stock clutch that was slipping was f**ked and the pressure plate and flywheel are pretty bad also. So that is delaying getting the car to Herbets. Pics - like christmas - but SO much better.

aliluya 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 A bit off topic here, but how did u unclip the gas pedal? Did u just pull it really hard towards the left or is there screws and stuff ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 E30 accelerator pedals are held down by clips, I used a screwdriver to pry mine off, the pre f/l and f/l have different male to female clip orientations but the principal is the same Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Bad f**king ass. What spring rates? Are they still linear compared to the factory ones, or new driving style needed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 spring rates highly progressive...end up being ~600 lbs front 1000lbs rear. cost was about 3800 inc shipping n GST for sways, springs,shocks and misc bits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 haha its f**king low looks lower than most ive seen (inc cutties) 1am finish on a monday. 9am start at uni. awesome. front camber looks awesome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I so have the most sacked out pre-fl e30. The difference being - there is heaps of suspension travel - and all the springs are captive. Nice suspension rules. Front camber is f**king badass - looks hot. Car will be a weapon - even in the slow drive down to Herbet's - it felt cool. Unsprung clutch is easy to drive with - it doesn't seen too much different. Got nearly one month at Herbert's now - sh*t loads getting done. Then back out - tad more horsepower - and we are away. Cage is getting tied down to front/rear shocks. Will look badassness. Front camber rocks my face. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 4, 2005 sacked - and it weighs less than 1000 kg - its gonna be super sacked with extra weight in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Can you explain how you got more susp. travel? What are herberts doing for ya? Looking f**king rad tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Can you explain how you got more susp. travel? What are herberts doing for ya? Looking f**king rad tho. shocks shortened - within right range of movement also. Herbets are - doing cage, seats, harnesses, headers exhaust (damn that is expensive - close to 3g for headers and exhaust, they are VERY nice though).
