Abit's 318iA m20b30 + pssycat cam and more...

[stonea]

The older pics don't work anymore :(

i would get an adjustable cam gear and set it at 4degrees advanced if possible, it should make more torque below 3500rpm so its not "cammy" like catcams always seem to be

Yeah, adjustable cam gear is first thing what I want to install now.

thanks for advice :)

Ok, thanks for that info...I was test my e30 that heavy buff, then soft for polish, but it need in some areas that sand paper.

[abit]

Awesome job that color save...Was you sand hole car and what paper you was using, like 1000, or 1200??

yes, whole car was first wet sanded, as I remember we were using like 1200 and 2000 or so? and finish with soft foamy thing :D I don't know what grade it stands for but something about 3000/4000? and then done 3 step buffing with heavy, medium and soft polish compounds, and wax at the end.

Sooo, what's new...actually nothing much :D
Car is running good and no big faults has been observed..
repaired bent exhaust...


then bought and installed fiberglass Is front lip..


also bought some yokohama slicks, so I don't turn my good front tires in trash on track, when we go drifting etc, so mounted slicks @ front and of course...testing :D
let's kill them all :devil: :D


chillin'


and then the biggie, decided that my zinno is not that shiny anymore how it was after repaint, so...lets polish that bitch up :D
first sanding with sandpapers.. matte :D


getting closer :devil:


meanwhile tuned up my second car, my musclecar


It took about 4 loooong evenings to make it done, dayumm, that was tough..


after some time, plastidip painted front wheels to see how they would look black, aaand trashed some more tires :D


and then made some fog in forest :D

but the biggie...

Great build! I've read it about 4 times, lol. Finally subscribing. Also is it weird that I think I liked it more with miss colored bumpers and fenders?

E36 wheels on the Volvo? Looks cool :)
Good power from the M20!

[abit]

It's now official
I think these are ok numbers for my low comp engine ~9,75:1

[abit]

fck yeah, fuel tank is repaired, and we roll again :D

first, bought IX body plastics, test fitted ....mm, when I bought them, I thought that these arches will make my wheel arches bit wider, but I realized that IX arches just makes wheel arch lower, fail :D... so already trying to sell them :D


next, fuel tank
it was quite rusty there and a hit from exhaust was heavy enough to crack tank


and how it looks now


then met one of my mates, with his Swedish turbobrick ;D


and then, finally, real testing and fun :D









ok, enough... :D resume, car now is much more powerful sliding it around the corners than last year, and i love it :D


see yaaa....

[abit]

ok, one shorty :D

finally tuned up my engine management with #402 ecu, now car runs sooo good....actually ran
some random shot before we installed all gadgets for tuning :D


had so much good time rolling down the streets with full throttle, dayummn :D
one more shot with other bangers :D


yeah https://instagram.com/mundieriss/


and then, so much fuuuck, hit rear underneath of car so bad, that it bend my exhaust from round to flat and exhaust banged right in my fuel tank, breaking the fuel cells connecting pipe, so fuel started leaking straight on hoot exhaust, so much luck that it didn't catch fire, dammn, so now I need to repaid my tank.


stay tuned :)

Do those Ford calipers bolt on without an adapter?
I'm assuming since the Audi A3 has a 57.1mm centre bore, they bolt right on once the bolt pattern is redrilled?

almost, just need 6mm(center 12mm, out ~25, and 6mm width) small spacers between brake carrier and wheel knuckle.

....discs, center centering bore also should be machined (as I remember BMW has ~1mm larger centering diameter, so -1mm should be machined off), and of course re-drill bolt pattern, yes.
