My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[canakami]

Jesus that's a spectacular subframe failure.

[Cha Ching]

Wait, what happened to the smoke test? Did you ever get the cold idle issue squared away??

[88SuperETABD]

Haha, Sorry, a lot has happened and kept me busy.

I bought a parts car, well it was my buddy's who had crashed it and didn't wanna deal with it so he gave it to me for too good of a price to not take advantage.
Here's how it sits now...


This will be a donor for my m20b29 I am going to build.

Plans thus far are:

m52 crank
Eagle 135mm Hbeam Rods
Overbore block +1mm
85 mm custom 8.5:1 forged pistons (for boost)
race coated bearings
arp everwhere
thinking about a 885 Port n Polished head from Mystery if its within the budget.
HD Rockers
Continue to use my MAF/WAR Chip until I decide if I wanna go MS, most likely will.
I'm sure I am forgetting stuff but I know exactly what Im getting and hopefully it turns out well. have a couple things to figure out still like cam/piston specs.

Will be replacing almost everything that hasn't been replaced already.

I've ordered a new ICV, Lemforder Rear Subframe Bushings, RTABs, Front subframe reinforcements, front & rear sway bar reinforcements, a m52 crank, fixed my air leak I think.

My front hub started humming so I stopped driving it because I have been using my s10 to get around until the new bearing came in. As I changed the new wheel hub,



I noticed something Bad!

Damn subframe!!


So Now my cars really down until I pull the subframes from the parts car. Front will be reinforced, and the rear will receive camber and toe adjusters from e30tech.

When thats all finished my suspension will be like 100% new.

Debating on doing an e46 rack swap also for more gokart like steering. because its so cheap.




cleaned this up in case i choose to use an adapter instead of a manifold


and something I thought was funny, my full droop is still lower than most e30s up front :)


Waiting for a bunch of goods in the mail. I'll update when they show up.

Started school, and been snowboarding in tahoe, so I've been busy.

[RoyaLife]

lets see some updates!? its been a while

[88SuperETABD]

Little Update: Getting my car smoke tested next week to test for a vacuum leak I'm pretty sure I have but can't find.
Also got roofracks with locks/keys for a price too good to pass up.
Now to buy a bike attachment to put this rack to use :)


Also just got a Nikon D5100 DSLR, so I can take some good photos!! No more iPhone photos! Whoot!!!!!! Gotta learn how to use it though, and learn photography for dummies 101. haha.

[88SuperETABD]

Update on the abandoned project, worked on it some. Looks like it's going to look great :). Getting close to the final steps.

[88SuperETABD]

yeah, all though seeing all the cool flaps/wings at the auto X makes me want something :) haha. But it will probably stay clean.

[EREKSHUN]

I'm actually not sure...i agree...i like it without it...but then again...i like it with it too...its prob gonna stay off for a long time cuz i dont wanna pay to get it painted...I got other things to fix :)

i also bought a trunk with the spoiler and never installed it. looks way fresher with the flush trunk lid.

[88SuperETABD]

Woohoo! Finally you have plastic bumpers all around. I love your car.

Thanks I like yours too, I wish I was as ballsy as you to turbo my 327 :)

[MR 325]

Woohoo! Finally you have plastic bumpers all around. I love your car.

Rolling Shots! Was on my way to Marina Auto X with a friend, so we took the opportunity to snap some pics of each other.

[Alberthype]

[88SuperETABD]

I'd like to turbo but CA sucks....and don't wanna deal with all that BS.
