Whats your opinion on the Grip Royal wheel? Thinking about picking one up..

I really like it. Really not a bad price for what it is, and has a really nice feel. Also, did you see I found out what the dead pedal was?

Yea thanks for finding that out for me! For the price I'm definitely considering one of these wheels, did you order straight from them?

Yes I did. It took a while, but that was because of a back order on NRG's end, not on Grip Royals. And no problem man, just wanted to make sure ya saw it!

oooo digging the grip royal, ive been eying those for a while, would love to get one myself

I just hope that's not one of those Ebay wheels. I would hate for you to cut corners on something so important.

Nope, true, safety tested Grip Royal wheel. I prefer to stay away from ebay.

I don't even know what to think of this build anymore....

those rims are HAWT tho.

I read all the way through this thread.

This is an awesome build, can't wait to see it 100% complete. :D

Fyi that carb wont work. Itll get the car running and driving but the second you try to hold the car sideways fuel slosh will kill the dngine. Ask me how i know......... Sloshed so bad in mine i had to wait for the bowls to refill. U need a holley with center hung style floats and wedge floats with jet extensions (think nascar shit). Ive got a 4777-2(650cfm 4150 double pumper) i picked up. If your patent u can get for sub $100 used. A vacume secondary type 4150 will work too.

Oh. Well good thing I was planning on upgrading.

Had a good day today, lots of progress and some good times.

Some other e30 friends came over to hangout/ help/ whatever.





Then Finally got my new wheel, adapter and quick release on.






Started tearing into what little wiring had to be done, ran the fuel lines and installed the temporary FPR.





Coolant lines hooked up(still need to small ones connecting the intake mani and water pump.






Some more of the wheel, I know some people on a forum had asked about clearances/ distance with the adapter and quick release.






Got my air filter one :) literally clears the hood by a matter of mm's.





Got my fan up and running.





One side of my "exhaust" on. The passenger side I must have measure incorrectly, as it is about 2" inches too low. So that will need to be rewelded.





A crappy picture of my temp sensor gauge.




Got my fuel pressure gauge hooked up.




And lastly just some random pics.








went to start and... Apparently my starter is bad :( So will have to go pick up a new one.

man i thought this project was pretty gay at first, and you really should clean up the wiring in the cabin... but i gotta admit, the engine bay is pretty neat to look at!

Thanks. Yeah, definitely have to clean up the cabin(hence everything strewn everywhere, but I'm trying to have it all done before I start cleaning it up/ hiding it.
