Make some flanges for the cars without aftermarket support. Profit.No E30 ClubOriginally posted by MrBurgundyAnyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.Comment

You can buy the damn tap for a hair less than $300, why would you want to make one?
And if you make hubs, are you going to buy and drill stock 4 lug e30 rotors to fit onto these 5 lug hubs? I would just buy an e30 hub to spec off of, then make a 5x120 pattern on them, then drill e30 rotors to 5 lug pattern.
But then 5 lug offset wheels on 4 lug body/suspension comes into play.Comment

well this just made me excited. Im really thinking about making some control arms. Should i simply make them based on the stock specs but with a lighter steel heat treat them? soooo many ideas going through my head. if anyone wants anything made, just give me the specs so i can have it made. I pretty much have no idea what to do. also, what do you mean by tapping the front struts?
I actually have not done any research to see if it was a standard (well, actually metric) or a custom tap that they used. $300 isn't bad for a tap that size, but he could make them in a batch of 10 for probably around $150 cost. And I don't like the idea of just sticking the tap in there, you really should have a guide so that you don't tap crooked.Comment

So jealous, that is my dream to own a shop. Spacers are cheap and eassy, adapters some are harder then others. I would do flanges for common turbos, m20 flanges along with other 24v heads. I would start with that as everything is three dimensional.

I don't mean to derail your thread, but tell your cousin that I'm in the market for a Mits FX-20 WEDM if he's interested in selling it.Comment
