Wakdog's Alpine II 24v

While the car is off the road rebuilding the engine, thought I would throw together a slightly more aggressive set of RS's for the rear.

RS279 centres redrilled to 4x100, 6.0" barrels and 3.5" lip to make a 15x10 +14:



Going to have a play with the fronts and maybe run the stock 5.0" barrels from the RS279 on my fronts so I can clear struts without a spacer.

Well got damn. I envy guys like you that take wheel building as an artform. Fucking amazing. I'm going to keep my eye on this one!

So its been a while but I have got this car back on the road in the last month or so.

I had a built 2.8L nv in the car ready to go but was having infinite harness issues so it ended up sitting and i started to lose interest in it...

Harness Testing :(




Dad said I couldn't borrow his X5 anymore so I needed to find a daily driver:

1989 318i stock as a rock (M40 :( )



2 weeks later with GE coils and salad shooters (8.5/9.5 stagger with 20/25mm adapters)



So at this point I was enjoying the 318i and borrowing dad's 130i for fun stuff:




Then a few months later a friend who had a US S50 in his e30 (of all the things to have in Australia...) told me that his car had been written off (someone drove into the side of him through a roundabout).

The car was dropped at my place and we ripped into it ASAP:



I sold off all of the parts I didn't need and was left with a complete S50 with 3.5" HFM and intake, 24lb injectors, oversize tb and TRM tune. Match that to the full custom non-cat exhaust I already had, underdrive pulley setup and my M20 FW/clutch setup and it was good to throw in.



Still need to tidy up a few things (cut out the auto harness, put my spare m40 harness cover in and on the firewall and rage at VAC for sending me a valeo alt pulley when i asked for bosch). I've replaced the crank sensor and cam sensors as they were playing up, but im still getting a code for the o2 sensor, so im hoping to replace that shortly and it will all be good :)
