The one stroker thread I'm really hoping to get through right now.. has been photo bucketed.

fingers crossed these pics get moved to flickr or something.. almost done migrating pics on my vert build thread.

Good read.

Is Peerless still marathoning instead of working on e30s?

Great write up on the diff stuff. I lucked into a 4-clutch 3.73 that I'd someday like to swap R%P to a 3.15 for my 24v and adjust the ramp angles a bit.

Definitely bookmarked that post for when I get to that point.

crazy our e30 journey was pretty much the same. I had a black 92 accord coupe, then I bought a black e30 coupe right after.

Thanks for the kind words fellas.

Do those GC plates allow you to adjust caster as well?

They do indeed. I've got them set at 8* iirc.

Hey jared, is that my old different I sold you?

Hi Juan, it's actually one i got from MR325. I do have future plans for yours though ;)

I was thinking about it the other day and was wondering what happened to it.
What was wrong with it? And is it making a loud screeching noise?
Car looks great. Keep up the good work.

Awesome stuff man. Do those GC plates allow you to adjust caster as well?

I like this! So rare to see a properly made filter setup.
Nice informative pics & words. Seems like you know what you're doing.

i don't know what effect ride height has.......... i recall it was 1/2" to, i need to redo the coupling so will see if i can use a 1/4" spacer either side maybe that way its the "same" as the e30 rack?

Yeah was going to mention i've seen other people do that. I think 1/4" each side would be perfect.

[iwantspeed]

Awesome update Jared.

Nice work on the air box.

[digger]

Yeah back to back on the same day.


Yes on the bottom like shown in your pic.


I don't recall. I got them from akg but they don't advertise the thickness. I'd venture to guess it's around 12mm though.

Would spacer placement and bump steer issues be ride height dependent?

nice airbox, were power runs done on the same day?

Yeah back to back on the same day.

so you did it like this?

do you remember what thickness the spacers were?

mine are on the top (exhaust kinda dictates that) and i have what seems to be bump steer but it is less than what i had with the stock rack...hmmm
