I got pulled over for no plates about four hours after getting my car. I got a $160 ticket. He threatened to tow it for no tags and decoded to just give me a ticket for expired tags.

Large snail, it feeds off of the s52. But you can't remove it or both die.

Damn that sucks. Luckily he just wanted to make sure the car wasn't stolen and told me to drive straight home. With the title in hand that was a real dick move.

Yeah, he also accused my dad and I of transporting drugs. Worst traffic stop I've ever been in.

Sounds pretty terrible. I've been accused of having narcotics as well in my old car, must be an e30 thing.



Also, here are some more pictures of how she sits now and a quick burnout video:










Still trying to decide on wheel/tire setup for when it warms up. Really can't make up my mind. I also think I'm going to convert the car to MS3 as well, the EMS system that is currently installed in the car is terrible to tune.

Fuck that sounds amazing.

Fuck that sounds amazing.

Thanks!

Funny thing is I've had a few people ask me if it was 2JZ swapped after hearing it, I take that as a huge compliment as I think the JZs are great sounding motors.

Wow nice

Who the fuck drives a car around with no license plates!?!?! Just grab the plates off your old car and throw them on.

"Dick move" ?You didnt have fucking plates on your car. You deserve any ticket you get.

Anyways. Nice build ! How is the turbo S52 in the snow? I would be scared to death. looking forward to see how your gonna tackle those rockers

If you get caught putting tags on a car that it doesn't belong to you get in even more trouble...

It's pretty bad in the snow. I've only hit boost a handful of times since the start of the winter, never with any snow on the road that's for sure. Cold roads and winter tires are enough to make 3rd spin pretty easily so I take it easy and cruise around slowly everywhere.

But I'm not looking forward to the rockers...They're the only area on the car with bad rust and I have 0 fabrication skills so I'll probably end up having someone else take care of that.

Got some smilies and Euro grilles finally, it really cleaned up the front of the car a lot. Also, washed the car for the first time of the year, it was well needed.







Also had a little fun...

[MattPro]

Got some new wheels finally.

Klutch Sl1 16x9 et18





Did some test fitting. Nowhere actually makes contact but it is damn close to the strut/shock housing both front/back. Probably going to end up going with 8mm spacers.













The plan is to run a set of KAMotors flares and go to a 245/45 tire hopefully square. Hopefully I can experience some 1-3 gear traction.

Also, found out my diff is going to be shot very very soon, there's play between the input shaft and the output shafts. Going to try and find a 2.97 and build a three clutch hopefully right after I scrape together the money for this wheel/tire setup.

[thatphysicsguy]

Sweet wheel choice, man. Can't wait to see them with the flares on too.

What kind of lip are you going to put on?

[randomtask37]

one day i will get to tackle a project like this. Looks like its going to be fun. Good job
