Thanks man, means a lot!

Hopefully I can get this turbo setup together ASAP! I've been very busy over the break at work ---- we just started making Jambox cases. They're on amazon and have been keeping me very busy! I'm hoping to do the clutch first, headgasket, timing belt and metric blues next, and finally the turbo setup. I want to do it in stages so my car isn't down for too long at once.

Those are what my tires look like after a month or two haha

[ak-]

Flip your tires before it's too late!

:( :( :(

Had the driver rear tire blown out on me on the freeway, very scary.

Got 2 new rear tires. Falken 452 225/45/16. Don't have any current pics unfortunately. I test fitted them today and it rubs badly. I will be doing some fender work tomorrow hopefully. I'll update this with some pics!

Did you find out what offset your wheels are yet?? I'm surprised.

Yep! I didn't really realize it was that bad.. Woops :p

I need camber correction. I have seen the weld in ones, is it worth it?

12mm subframe risers from condor or that other vendor I can't remember lol.

[jaywood]

12mm risers are definitely something I'll have to look into getting...

Oh hey, thanks mail-lady.



So I have been collecting turbo parts for the past few months in hope of having everything necessary to install everything during the break from school. Well, that won't be happening. Work has been keeping me too busy! Plus, I don't have everything I need yet. Things I still need: Oil feed line, a few -an adapters/fittings, and that's about it.

Iv been sneaking around work reading this thread, awesome job!! i cant wait for my build to get some progress I'm jealous you guys don't have winter!!

[gtdragon980]

So this thread has become probably my most favorite! So much inspiration to build up my bronzit! I have been wanting to do very similar upgrades to mine, but the way you executed them, is very impressive. Homemade eurotrim, homemade skid plate, other homemade goodies and bits, that is pretty damn awesome! I will be addressing these things on my e30 soon enough!

+1 on the 4 door bronzit owners club. We are a dying breed!

I also did the same and this is just...awesome. Your build is strikingly similar to mine, except I plan on running a water-to-air intercooler to keep my A/C. It's a necessity in Florida! lol

This is pure badassery.

When I was in high school I changed my own oil. Even then I was like uh...

[jaywood]

Thanks guys ^^^ :)

[jaywood]

I had a weird noise at idle (thumping) and was told to check motor mounts. I discovered they were in very poor shape and sagged so the oil pan would rattle with the skid plate. Here's pics of the old mounts



Motor on left, trans on right





As you can see, very poor shape! I replaced them and the noise is gone + it drives much smoother!

[jaywood]

Oh hey, Turbo
