88 alpine from the bay to Dirty Jersey (New wheels)

[oxymoron]

I needed to make a new shroud for my psik, I threw one together quickly when I installed the intake but with these tires it rubs terribly.
This piece bolts into the two fog lights bulbs. I took oUT the plastic nutserts and traded for some 1/4 20 3/4 inch button heads.



Much better.

Thanks dude! Waiting on motorsport hardware studs which shipped today along with 5mm spacers. Awesome customer service from them. I love how helpful the e30 community is. I'll have time this weekend to polish up my car and take some sweet pics

I figured you were a member here! You honked at me in Warwick at the CVS, I was in my touring. Funnily enough, I also operate a motorsport fabrication shop down the road from Behrent's.

Oh sweet. I deal with them a lot working at teo. Cry nice touring btw. Have you had that for a while? I remember seeing a white touring bone stock maybe two years ago at price chopper I figured there aren't two in warwick

Dude, that shroud looks awesome. What are your thoughts on the PSIK? I'd like to get one myself, but the CDN dollar is just too poor right now

I was very happy with it. There was one wire to splice, you need to relocate one of the horns. But if you come across some spare money it was a noticeable power gain and it made my car run smoother than ever. The combination of the chip tuning loosely for what I have going on and the extra air flow is worth it. I kind of wish I went wit.h the war chip but I don't have many crazy mods to need it at this point. Plus it sounds pretty damn cool. Good value per dollar definitely. It also depends on the set up you have already. I had a head and cam and high flow exhaust with 19lbers so it works well with that. Can't say what it'd do for a stock m20

I just got bumped up at work, now I'm assembling chassis . Here's my first car, pretty excited about this.

Yup, I've had this thing for 5 years. Two years ago it was stock exterior with an s14b23 (sold that driveline this summer). Has an S50B30us now, some BBS reps and an H&R spring/shock combo.

Nice nice. I thought so. I checked out your build very nice work.
Motorsport studs came Friday. I put the fronts on but I was too hung over to put the rears on. Planning on finishing up that on lunch today

[oxymoron]

Yesterday I took a few hours to start wet sanding one of my wheels. I started with the worst one as far as rash goes. The fronts are more on the pitted side. This is my r.r.

I filed down the high spots and started with a dry 220 grit.
Then I went to 400


Then a wet 600 and finally wet 800


There was evidence of some brick red paint and also white paint or primer ?? In the hard to reach areas so I took care of that. I still have to do 1000 and 1500 grit and then a Polish but for now you can clearly see the improvement


And while I was at it I finished the stud conversion


And one nice weld for the road

Ive been real busy the past few weekends . Last weekend a bunch of my friends and i went to brooklyn to see del if theres any hieroglyphics fans on here. It was an aweosme time.

But back to my latest obsession
Heres what i started with


Im done with 3 of the wheels now and im very happy with the results. This is where 2-3 hours per wheel will get you



The more i clean these whees up the more i love to stare at them. Now i just need to save up for some new bilstiens and ill be set.










And happy birthday to me, ny friends all chipped in to get me this

[oxymoron]

Finly got around to replacing my injectors with ford 19lb yellers. I had. Lot of cleaning to do and new inake mani gaskets lying around. The m20 was looking very sad



So i hit it with degreaser









I love the way this color looks in the sun. Wiring will be tidied up of course. I found a horrid spot under my brake master that has been slowly leaking causing the paint to curl up off the car. Theres no way i can let that go on. Luckily i have a daily coming my way. This e3o is my only car anf has been for about 5 years now. It sure does show. Im picking up a 98 honda passport for $1 from my uncle who is moving to NC in june. Lots of things will be taken care of such as

Oil leak rectification
Brake fluid leak repair, caliper rebuilds and powder coating, stainless lines pads and slotted rotors
New bilsteins which i put a deposit on last night
Alignment
Engine bay paint job after all leaks are remedied.

Daily is here





Hasnt been washed or vacuumed un 5 years but runs great. Desperately needs a wax though not complaining for $1

[oxymoron]

Picked these up from clemins for a good deal a few weeeks ago and its finally time. Ive had sports on it for a while but they were used when i purchased them 4 years ago.


More about how shot the old ones were later..

Nothing terrible or mentionable really happened during the instalation other than finding my front caliper sliders were frozen solid..





This inspired me to make soulja boy jokes for the next two days starting with this one :

Whats soulja boys favorite type of hardware ??




YOUUUUUUUUUUU! bolts



This was the worst of the bunch. Not doing much of anything at all



All done.





And a random weld
