[bmwandhonda]

Few more things done this arvo :)

Alpina wheel installed:


Big Bore TB + New intake boot + 'Kamotors' cf intake:


Miller MAF to go on as soon as I get the right tools (soldering iron etc):

Goooood stuff man.
Yeah, once you bend the crap out of those plates, they never stay true to how strong they were before. Same problem here.

Yeah sucks, But I did buy a brand new one but made no difference. I had to space the plate down about 20mm and file down the heat sink fins on the sump just to get a tiny bit of clearance between the base of the sump and the new plate...

I really think my mounts are busted, only reason I can think of as to why the motor might be sitting lower than befor

...Need to know more about Borbets please!! what are you asking for them?

Borbets were for sale for about 3 weeks for $1100 (pick up) but didn't sell, so I dropped them to $950 for a week and they finally sold a couple of days ago to a guy in Sydney. He is putting them on his DC2 Integra. Although I just this afternoon, got a msg from him saying he doesn't like the way they look on the car so he might sell them off again lol

hahaha cheers guys :)

Got around to installing the UUC shifter and shift linkage.




Gotta say that out of all the DIY jobs I have done on cars, this was one of the most awkward and annoying jobs ever… Pretty much 90% of the job is by feel alone >_<



Anyway after about 5 or so hours of struggling, with thousands of scratches and cuts on my arms and hands, finally got it all in. Only to find that the shift linkage now rubs the driveshaft when in 2nd gear and in 4th and slightly rubs in Neutral as well.

But does feel awesome, extremely solid shift feeling and super short. Is a little difficult getting into 2nd sometimes though.

Also got the car out of the garage for a day out with a bunch of other E30's for the first 'Team e30' meet. Was a good day :)

Very nice dude! Congrats on the feature.

[bmwandhonda]

New wheels for the Touring arrived today :)

Schmidt TH lines
Rears - 16x9.5 et12
Fronts - 16x8.5 et14





I am thinking 215/45's or 205/50's should fit nicely. Unless someone has a better opinion?

Very nice dude! Congrats on the feature.

Thanks mate, I am pretty stoked to get the feature done just befor I swap out the coils into the Touring

[cbouchez]

Thanks mate :) yeah I haven't seen these in AUS yet either. Will definitely be something different in the sea of replica wheels getting around in AUS these days....

[two240s]

I had planned on a set for my alpine before I decided to sell it
