anyways... basically been waiting for my box to get done ect....

you you know the money i made from the last car...

i was saving it for paint...

but desperately needed a working car...

so i brought an e36!............

so i got it on a thursday night...

welded the diff friday night by mr chapmannn

took a picture..



and then a week past... and having not had a solid driving session for near on a year now... i had a blast!

was kind of worried i would had lost/forgotten how to drive...

but ended up doing 80mph slides on/off of some pretty big/scary bits of 'private roads

AND LOVED IT...

and then after doing this for numerous nights.. went to a new spot... literally nothing special... just leaving and this happened.....








....




thats the result of 60mph into and over an armco barrier.... and into a big'ole wooden post..


its either getting repaired or reshelled.... not seen it in the daylight yet

so now i have no car...again .. how to kill a perfectly working car in a week...


but the r154 is done and i will have it on wednesday night... and then can start to crack on and get it in!

other good news.. my new windscreen turned up and got fitted on saturday... not bad considering i ordered it in FUCKING SEPTEMBER!

ok so got my box back :B

and she looks like this....



and then i got sent another picture of a broken part in my box.. that may have contributed to the loud bang when it went.. mehhh





and set about doing it...



got pizza.... and beers... sat around talking... and it was dark... raining... and me and a friend lifted the box on



then next day i did the easy solo bits...


and then went out and hooned around like a madman...


and its been fun so far

need to wait on some money to get my car painted.... grrr

need to sort out my belt problem once and for all as i dont want the previous happening again.... think i need to space off the plate i had made for the PS pump a wee bit..

i want to get a few videos on... as theyre exciting..... and much better than a page of words...

[steveboiboi]

clutch problem sorted....

had a leak on it.. didnt realise.. so got it hard piped out of the slave.. and then on to my flexi and its all good...

adjusted the bar on the master cylinder.. and now its rad!

oh and in other good news... my box is leaking...

so thats not good..

oil leak out of the filter needs sorting asap..

the joys of motoring..

[steveboiboi]

yeah im fucking loving this car at the moment... !!!! so much FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


anyways i need some help...

ok so basically i need new discs and pads.... but.. i dont think the calipers are stock can someone identify them? as i think there is a few options as to a bolt on direct fit ect...

now ive been told that they are supra calipers...

but the rears look almost as big as the fronts...


fronts






rears





cheerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

[steveboiboi]

ok so ive identified the rears as mk4 supra turbo calipers.....

fronts look like lexus is200 calipers?!


crazyyyyy

[steveboiboi]

ok so i got new pads for the time being....


went to fit them... cant get the pins out which hold the callipers in...

also noticed while i was there one of the calipers is cracked on the mounting bolt eye to the hub...



but basically ended up doing a drift day again at the localish track where i came off last time....




so prepped and loaded the car the night before

got there unloaded...


this one was a more chilled day as it was open pitlane.. so no rushing trying to meet session times..

went out hoping i wouldnt off, or the belt snapping/coming off creating damage...


and it was fucking awesome.. tyres were done very quickly... and on the first go i came in to cool the oil down a bit as i wasn't letting it get over 110/115'

now ive been trying to sort this stalling issue/non starting in the mornings or when its cold...

so as i came in to park up it stalled.... and went to re-start it and nothing... not even a attempt to turn over...


was really worried.... and had a look under the bonnet and the bloody start wire had come off the starter motor.... so a bit of fumbling it was back on!

but basically my day looked like this allot..




and then one lot ripped my arch extension off.. and rashed the whole side of car with some good ole tyre slap... luckily i didnt paint it...



and found a random video clip someone posted up..




and then i ripped the other one off....

found a few photos of my car that were taken which was cool (photo credits are due as they were not me!)













favorite ones this one





now hopefully there are more videos to come...




and basically i think i need a oil cooler kit... but unsure of what temp i should let the oil get to...
