Project: Budget Beater

[65Matt]

Is there any way you could turn the steering wheel 180 degrees and get us a picture?

You've got other people doing a hell of a lot of work on your car to be calling it a budget project. Maybe I should start my own "budget" project.

Step 1: get sponsorship. have said sponsor do all the work.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: post about how the rest of the community is throwing away their money.

you forgot

Step 4: Profit!

i am unsubscribing from this thread...its pathetic and just wasting my inbox space in my email

OMG, r3v outdoes all my other email combined, I was poking around my User CP and I'm subscribed to 186 threads. I need to go through and pare them down.

well guys, im back in town. So let the bashing begin again :) lol (you guys must have been so bored without me) :D . E30 project is gonna move REAL quickly from here on out. On a side note, The E30 sat here for roughly two weeks without being started and the car fired up (with help from alittle gas) but the little odyssey battery still held its charge nearly TWO WEEKS after not being touched. I think that proves that this battery is completely streetable and is a great upgrade for anyone looking to drop an easy 30-40lbs of weight from the rear. Anyways just wanted to keep yall updated.

P.S. if anyone has a E34 AUTO Throttle position sensor please contact me, thx

I just did the Throttle body coolant bypass today. heres whats in store...

- both stock fans delete
- Spal style after market pullery fan (or pushing, haven't designed).
- Apexi SAFC2
- E36 MAF + e34 TPS
- Add 22" magnaflow resonator to exhaust and delete a few old components
- New Euro Performance crank pulley (in development still).
- finish weight removal
- AC delete
- custom interior lexan door panels
- and a few more small things....

I want to get the weight down to 2200-2300 range and add more power. it should sound really good once its all done. Trying to get dyno arrange soon but still waiting to do a few more small things (like finish pu the exhaust and get the aftermarket fan working and get the valve adjusted so car doesn't almost over heat on the dyno like it did last time). anyways lotta stuff coming quick icon smile . i'll keep yall posted

So after this is all done, you're gonna come up with a price list to show us just how cheap this car is, right?

By the way, how exactly is a valve adjustment going to make your car stop overheating?

I was kinda wondering that.

And why is the car overheating on a dyno pull? It's a stock M20. I'm sure that your shop had a fan hooked up.
