Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[ZM Blue Devil]

there is so much win in this build... respect for doing it right and doing something different.

Yeah man I'm pretty serious.
I'm not the brightest kid in the galaxy so sometimes I ask questions.
As of this point, unless I missed a massive amount of sarcasm somewhere which I took seriously, I'm assuming his late STi was stolen; which is what I'm trying to have clarified in the first place. Help me out

It was fucking sold you tardbag.

[newman]

Lol. I have no idea why you think it was stolen. What'd I say that impied that?

[Fidhle007]

Holy dicks doode I remember when you had your sti for sale on iwsti a year or so back!!
that thing was a monster even with the hello kitty touches added to it.
I've had that very picture you just posted of your sti with the airplane right above it as my phone wall paper for almost 18 months now.
You sir, are one crazy man.

shoot I think i even messaged you a few times about your sti when it was for sale back then.

Haha, that's awesome to know. I'll let the guy who took it know, too.

Up until this point everything checks out. But no, there is some massive stupidity lurking around the corner. Wait for it...

I just remember asking you about your wheels and you told me they were 700 a pop.
What do you mean about the guy who took it?
Someone stole it?

THERE it is!

what?

A logical response.

No. You're beyond help.

He thinks it was stolen because he's in imbecile. 'Nuff said.

I lol'd, but Newman's thread doesn't need this. Where's What18yahoo's new build thread for his supposedly new e30?.... :)

[phreshkid]

dang it

I was just trying to end the back and forth that was sure to come until phreshkid finally dug his head out of his ass.

[Bishop]

Fair enough

"Community self-moderation."

Lol.

[newman]

dang it

Lol. This is a good response. Haha.

[dirtysix]

This is one crasy arse build.

I love it.

But if you ever have kids, you may not be so keen on the colour ha.

[newman]

lol. ;)

last night I pulled my honda civic 9" brake booster and 13/16 master cylinder out and started to change over to an integra 10" booster and 1" master cylinder. I did a basic volume calculation and it just wasn't going to cut it. Too much pedal travel.

That should be installed tonight...

I also installed my new OEM gas pedal.... WTF... why do these pedals suck so fucking bad... My throttle cable seems like it's binding a bit, I have to see why.

Newman, as you know i am in the process of putting together a brake system for my LS1 car. I am looking at going with a manual setup. I am trying to set it up, so that i wont have a rock solid pedal.
I am planning on running a pedal with a high ratio (7:1 or so), a small MC, and maybe 4.8" of piston area on the front calipers. I am worried, that with this setup, I may soften up pedal feel a bit, but might end up with too much pedal travel. What is the formula for the volume calculation to determine how much pedal travel I would end up with if i went with this setup? Any help or advice is much appreciated.:-D

It's not OEM Toyota, is it?
