Well i just spent 3 hours pulling the motor again, spent an hour of that lining up clutch and finally got the tranny mounted. put the motor back in the car and now all i have to do is remove the driveshaft because i do not have a second hand to line up drive shaft and tranny output shaft. will finish it up after work and gfet started on hooking everything up finally...

I've got some H&R sports and e90 drop hats, wanna get ride of it as a front and rear set though

[rmosca594]

Whos got some front springs to sell me, they cannot be stock! Only fronts!

[rmosca594]

that thing looks niice sitting in there!

How does she sit now?

Exactly how i though she would... lets just say i cannot get my low profile jack out from under the CAB mounting bolts, the under side of the splash guard started bending.. just my luck but its all good.

Need to get some real e30 springs, the rear is perfect though!

And its in!!!!!! Dropped it in without transmission because i have no clutch alignment tool... :/ will do that later this week though!

Took us about 3 hours to get it ready and drop it in!

Thankyou so much Trevor Hughes, not sure if hes on r3v...

thing is sexy!



had a frog inside my head...








cant wait to drive it...

Well now it doesn't have any personality!! haha.

Yeah I'll say bigger tires for sure.

If you're slamming on a budget, I just installed some "cosmo racing" coilovers. You can get them for $190 I think, I got mine secondhand/new for a little cheaper. I've only got about 5 miles on them before my car took another shit, but they seem like a good deal! I haven't really done anything suspension-demanding yet though but I'll get back to you when I've got more miles on them.

Im just going to build the GC/IE coils, its not too bad on price and i do all the labor so no biggie. Either those or a set of JOM's from BFI, they are local to me and i got the hookup on the inside lol :D

But well see how these honda springs ride lmfao....

TOMORROW LE MOTOR GOES IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pimp::crazy:

All i have to say is my fingers hurt like hell, but it looks amazing....

Baller, needs more low or more sidewall or less tire width or probably all of the above

Lol is realllllly low right now, probably will be sitting on subframe once the motor is in so i need to get the front figured out, back is fine...

But i just got my stage 2 clutch in the mail, but noone in this bumfuck town has a engine hoist so i cannot put my motor in for another week :( otherwise i would do it tonight..

Finally found a set of wheels for it, i actually borrowed these from a buddy a while back as something to roll it on while the Gotti's were getting redone but he had to sell the tires off them, but now i got them all 4 for 100 bucks!

Unsure of brand or specs, all i know is they are 15x7 or 8....
