My 89 325is head first dive (NEW BUILD PG.13)

LOL, moving is a pain, as soon as the e30 is how i want, im leaving so my managers may get a little mad about me leaving so soon.

Now that im goign to have all this money to drop into the car im debating on just building the turbo kit and everything before the motor is in, so first start it will boosted compared to me driving it NA for a bit then boost in about 2 months

Ah but that's the beauty is that an e30 is never exactly how you want it!!

It'll probably be easier to do outside the car, but breaking in a boosted engine is annoying and potentially bad, that and if you’re doing megasquirt, breaking in an untuned engine could cost you some cash if done wrong.

You could always just weld in a bung on the oil pan for the drain and call it a day for now, or get almost everything set up, and run a “turbo delete pipe” if you’re handy with a welder. That way you can get the car running nice and then all you gotta do is just bolt in the turbo when the engine is broken in and you’ve got megasquirt. But I’ve never actually installed a turbo system, only broken one in/tuned. So others should chime in here too!!

Haha thats pretty sweet and a great idea...

BTW i need am opinion, some guy offered me some fairly new diamond steelies, with new tires + 400 bucks for my 3 piece gotti wheels, and hell pay for me to bring them to NJ for him

Godd idea or bad idea?!?

[evandael]

awful idea. awful awful awful idea.

I love the look if you're on coilovers with stretched tires.. but when you change looks its all based on what you like. And it seems like you like that look, your miata was sweet

I've heard that you need to convert them to hub-centric because they are not factory hub centric, and this leads to expenses or balance issues

Lol yeah alot of people are against the steelies look, but i mean its an extra 400 bucks to get the car going but it may not happen anymore he seems to be flaking on me now :/

[ak-]

I would get those rods balanced and weighed.

UPDATE: 06/17/2013

Just sold the gottis for 1100 to someone in GA! :D

Now i can get this baby on the road, got my buddy from deft motion hookin me up with a spec stage 3 clutch and ordering all my parts this week, and on top of that i have a big paycheck coming in in 2 weeks... this is gonna be fun!

Today i got another can of truck bed liner, and cleaned up a few things, and finally finished painting my splash guard back to black

x 1 million.

[saturnv7890]

woo progress! This is really looking awesome.

I saw you snuck a diamond racing wheel in there, is that 15"?
Gonna have to go wayyy low to pull that off

Excuse my moment of ignorance if it's not 15"

[rmosca594]

LOL yeah it is, its from the miata the guy let me keep the destroyed one from the wreck as a memory, but glad i sold the gotti wheels, im about to spend it all in 30 min :D

And what is the advantage of getting rods balanced and weighed????

[rmosca594]

Just submitted my order for 800 dollars form autohausaz.com

This should be fun :D

[rmosca594]

Hey guys what do you think about putting these on? Considering i sold the gotti wheels these are only 100 bucks and 17x7.5 all around!

[m_rasta]

the wheels look good.. love 2 see them painted though

[saturnv7890]

17's are pretty big for my taste, if you're in to the look go for it! At that price it'd be hard to pass up.

And with little work they'll look nice! Are they hubcentric at 57.1mm? (neon colors??? :twisted: )
