Getting ready for Winter

[blueapplesoda]

i would say its getting colder but this is socal

new cold weather additions :-D





tires next.

trying to decide falken rt-615s, kook rs-2's, or nitto nt-01s all in 235/40/17, cause 245/35 is much expensive with no selection and i we just fit 275/40/18s in my dads e36, so fender rolling is ok.

i can get the nt-01s for the price of the azenis, but ill have to replace them in 1/2-3/4 year cause they are very sticky and soft. And i track every month.

sigh...and im jobless and almost broke right now. thank you turbo project.

td-06h 20g with a 8cm exhaust housing. i hear its been frankensteined, but im not sure. it had a 14cm housing but heard it wasnt gonna work so well. besides, this car sees track, so slow boosting is not an option. I'm not looking for monster power. I was supposed to get a spiel turbo manifold but the guy sent the wrong item...another delay. eveything else on the motor is stock except for the 28.5 lb injectors. gonna try to run ecu-only...well see.

friend got a hold of some nice horz stiched sport seats, so we were touching it up black and i swear it was 90 deg. i was sweatin and burning wtf. its november, i swear i need that cold air. again, wtf.

Today is fucking 60 degrees here.... I mean what the fuck. I've dealt with hurricanes less chaotic than this.

BTW..... to hell with this cold bullshit, I cracked my pressure plate while driving on the first cold day. :(

They're all playing. :rofl:

Looks great man, you going to keep the slit in between the two holes in the front, or make one big gap?

[Mike325]

You people from the south are bitches. You think that is cold. It was fucking 20 degrees today and it is now only 35 degrees.

other engine bay shots?

[Digitalwave]

Awesome car man. I love the first shot. Do you have smoked lows and normal highs?

Clean up your core support!

Yeah radiator shits needs cleaning hardcore. after i crashed i just wanted my new e30 to move so i didnt take my time with the engine bay. I will be pulling the motor soon to do a repaint of the engine bay and rest of the body, when i have more $ and more time, but for now i want the fucker to run. ill get an engine bay shot once it looks decent right now theres mess everywhere.

confirmed- smoked lows and normal highs cause i didnt get around to boiling them. and i need to grab the template from my friend.

One big gap, again after i get my car running.

man its still to hot to wear pants. w/e better for my car.

random: my friend just found out that he is the eigth owner of his 318is. LOL its been in 4 states, IL, NY, TX, and CA. I feel bad. it failed every smog test from 99', which when we tossed the exhuast we found the cat was empty

Is someone finally installing an intercooler with piping that keeps the factory brake ducts?

If so, it's about time. Looking at intercooler piping through big holes in the front facia is lame.

Looking forward to seeing progress. I'll have to find out exactly what intercooler you're using. I need the right dimensions and inlet locations.

P.S. You socal people don't know how lucky you are with weather. I hate you.
