e30guydownunder: Project M42, probs definitely got more power than your S50

But buying them is so much fun! I can't wait to see how busy I need to get with the guard roller. Will give me some motivation to paint the car a bit more race orientated also.

Cant wait to see it!!

Believe it or not, I have some more crazy wheel ideas and wheels on the way.

Cant wait to start playing with 5lug on the storm trooper, oh the possibilities ! ! !

I actually looked at those wheels myself but I'm not sure of how they will look on my car. I'm thinking to just gunna wait until I get my engine all done before I worry about wheels hahah :P.

Well we are all about to find out. One guy had bought a set, but hasnt finished getting tyres mounted up and putting them on the car. I'll have tyres mounted ASAP :)

I think they will also go on my Brilliantrot roady just for shits and giggles :p

The delivery man came today....But nobody was home. WTF US to Aus in 3 days I fucking LOL'd!

So wheels on Monday!

In the mean time I have actually being doing some shit towards this stinker!@

I have decided with the new pedal box I will make an overhung accelerator pedal to match the brake/clutch pedals. Further to this I decided I wanted it to slide with the pedal box (pedals are going to be on a slide setup). So made this:



I slotted the acc pedal mount as well so the acc pedal can be moved to the perfect spot for heel and toe. I will also incorporate some sideways adjustment into the whole shabang so the acc pedal should be able to go in the perfect location. Yes it is lightweight yo thanks to a swiss cheese diet!

But I digress that is all for future projects. The whole drama currently is I keep breaking swaybar links. Well today I have all but finished my solution. The raised mount goes on the sway bar and has the effect of making the link longer, but keeps the swaybar in a somewhat sane position. This all in all reduces the amount of angle the link has to cope with as the car is too low. HAR HAR

Paint to come later.



SWEET AS MOFOS

I installed my links and other associated crap yesterday. Here is a picture at full droop showing the less extreme angles of everything:



And one at ride height:


Very Happy with the end result of these.

While I was in the mood I installed my lightweight rear bumper mounts I made ages ago. Standard bumper shocks with a bead of weld around them and the shock part lopped off. Quick Easy and Cheap:
