Strict budget, slow restoration. *Now with moar budget*

Yeah I love the tires, but they are not going to last long (race takeoffs that are pretty worn already, had to scrape a bunch of OPR off em before we balanced em)

Here are a few more good shots from someone with a real camera. Bored of autox pics? Suck it, it's my build thread.

My codriver taking a ridealong



No I don't wash it





Damn that's sexy.

Dat tire size.

[Wh33lhop]

Welp time for new tires, here's the old setup



I was NOT kind to these, lol



Anyway this is long overdue... yeah I used the proper tool, I used a heat gun too. Whadda ya gonna do abouddit?



The rears had a bunch of body bonder or whatever stuck inside that made rolling them tough, but the fronts got a nice roll at least



New tires (and by new I mean used R888s)



mmmmmm so much beef





Then I used them some more the next day













Wheeeeeeee30! :)

Part of me thinks that if I searched hard enough on McMasters I could piece something together for less then $40. Or, it's just wishful thinking.

It's just a piece of metal with two holes in it. But it's also machined to a certain tolerance. I didn't want to deal with the fabbing so I just bought one. Even with the old shitty shift joint in there I can feel the only shifter play now is in the internals of the trans. Feelsgoodman.

Not to shit on the thread, but you most likely can. Or just have a shop weld something similar for $20 like a friend of mine did.

That said... it's a pretty piece of machinery and I'd definitely pay for it if I had the cash.

Baller! I've been wondering if I should get one of these.

[Wh33lhop]

okay okay. Just for you guys I got a DSSR



24V swap version means it's twisted. gangsta.



It's purty. Funny that it's going into this dirty thing



Aaaaaaand it's dirty.



God that was a bitch to install. First impressions are that it's super tight since there's a lot of friction introduced by the "squeezing" action of the DSSR. It'll get better as it breaks in.

Hey - stop auto-x'ing and do some more mods!!!! Darn it! ;)

YEA! We need moar engine swapping in the middle of a mall parking lot!

Looks fun! ;)

Another autox! I codrove my friend's stock Evo on all seasons which was a lot of fun




Launching a stock evo gives it a lot of squat



Anyway that's not what this thread is about. The wheee30 was still 1.5 seconds faster than what I pulled in the Evo (and just 1.9 seconds off the FTD in SM). E30s are awesome to make dance around a tight course.





I've got a passenger in this one, hellooo revlimiter

[FredK]

nice even wear on those rears!

[cmybimmer]

Makes me want to auto-x.. Looks like fun!
