Nice build. What are your future plans for it?

Nice build. What are your future plans for it?

Mainly fixing all the little issues , poly bushings , GC's , real wheels , mtech goodies , fresh paint , and a dang LSD.

And maybe some m21 swap action ......

Coilovers ?

So , I removed both of my strut housings and cut the perches in prep for a suspension setup I bought from " Achtunge30 "


I then Tac welded a little support under the collar to insure maximum safety ;D





Repainted the housings and got everything finished for the night.





I know , I know . Your asking yourself "why would he buy a used JOM suspension ? "

And my answer to you is , " this was to good of deal to pass and these should do me fine till summer."

I know they are not GC's , but they are a lot better than my previous setup.

Are those collars just hanging out on those welds?

Are those collars just hanging out on those welds?

No , they are sitting on and threaded onto the piece that screws inside the strut housing , forgot the exact word for the it.

A few shots .









the car is already handling better.

So I've been experiencing a very wierd problem with my e30 lately .

When I make a full turn to the left , my car will pull left after straightening out.
Same goes for making a full or hard turn to the right .

Advice or answers highly appreciated .

Hey r3v , I have good news and bad news.

The bad news , my oil pan has gone to be with the Lord .

The good news , ST1G sold me a new oil pan :ST1G:





Old pan off


New pan getting a spa treatment before install




New pan will be installed shortly . Also looking for a used skid plate .

[BECKSTER]

Got the new pan up .



Had a few guys recommend Hondabond gasket maker instead of using a cork or paper gasket so hopefully it holds up nice . Anyone else use it ?

Pulled out for a cold start this morning when I started contemplating whether to weld my diff or not .



Anyone here running a welded diff and enjoying it ?

I have a spare diff for sale, $20. Thought it was an LSD, it wasn't.
