Bought this last year to drive while my e30 was in the bodyshop, e30 shat itself 5 days after this arrived and never made it down to the bodyshop, been driving it since while im trying to do an engine conversion on the e30.
have done a few little bits to it, welded the diff.
robbed the sparco steering wheel and CS gearknob out of the e30 and threw it into this for the time being, although i think ill have to get a new wheel for the e30 as this one has a few marks on it..
got some e34 bbs and some 20mm spacers, tyre sizes are a bit all over the shop, need to change the fronts for something with a smaller sidewall, but if i do i wont have enough ground clearance. sits the chassis rails on most ramps as it is. would love a set of 16" e38 bbs, but dont have the money to spend on them.
got fk coilovers.
added some extra lock.
clutch was slipping so replaced it with an m20 clutch and lightened flywheel.
fitted a hydro.
fitted a decated 325 exhaust with an m3 back box.
have an evo 3 recaro that i hope to fit in the next couple of weeks, just need to get a rail off mcg.
so far this car stands me less money than one set of wheels for the e30, been having good craic in it too. i think it looks cool, but id be a bit biased.
finally went and took some decent pictures of it today so though id throw up a thread. happy i got some before it gets wrecked any further.

id say ill hold onto it and make it into a driftcar when the e30 is finished. this will get the 2.8 out of the e30 when i can afford an s50 for it.

was meant to go for a skid last night but it didnt happen, still had loads of fun on my way home from my mates house though.
managed to pierce a hole in my exhaust on saturday up the mountains, looks like a stone went into it, hopefully goin to get it welded today. sounds like a tractor at the moment.
LOoks class kev!! had ya much bother fitting the seat?? Do the rails off mcg make a straight forward fitment??
What the, I saw this in Bray a couple of weeks ago, or one veeeeery similar but it was being driven by someone else. Cant remember his name, used to have a glanza and a civic. looks deadly anyways!

cheers dude! was a bit of messing to get it in, i bought a sparco subframe from murrays which i had to add a bit onto as where the seat mounts is a good bit skinnier than the base of the recaro. the subframe and rails cost 120, if i was doing it again id either get someone to make a subframe or pay the extra 70 odd quid and buy a recaro subframe.

cheers man, thought i seen you in the hills topaz , looked like you were showing that civic to some lads. ive never had a glanza or a civic so there must be an imposter, i do be out that way a fair bit though.
I <3 keviiiinnnnnn !!!!
cheers babes xoxo
The fuck, you look IDENTICAL to a lad that used to come into get petrol all the time when I worked there! thats madness. I was about to go over to him to say hello too, that would have been awkard!!
but yeh, looks tasty! and those chaps bought my civic, so all in all, a good night. ha
Nice looking saloon :D Any action videos?
Dunno why but from the pics I recon a rollcage would look unreal in this. Great car sir would love to see a video also

Done the just jap drift day in mondello.
Done a bit if work to get it ready, fitted a driveshaft, 2 wheelbearings, changed all the oils and the brake fluid.
At the end of the first session my rad blew, got a spare on I had brought down and was back out after lunch. Halfway through the next session my exhaust mounts broke, got a few more laps after i tied it up but didn't last long.
Got about 40 mins out on track, was a bit of a nightmare, but when it was working I was having a good laugh.

Met up with Dave and gave him the ecu for the 2.8 I have to remove ews and remap it. Think there's a day on in February that I'm goin to do, will hopefully have the 2.8 in before then.
thats annoying about the exhaust. saw it sitting outside daves when i was delivering mexican to him there last week :D

Isn't great in low light, but will be deadly for drift days.

Hadn't had second gear in this for about 6 months, gear box eventually shat itself completely about 2 weeks ago. Got the use of a garage last weekend so threw the 2.8 I had in.
I thought I was going to be a straight swap since I already had a m52 fitted, but there was a few little bits that were different and held me up getting them. Finished it 100% tonight.
She's fairly nippy now.
Has a 2.8 with m50 manifold, swapped the lightened flywheel I had onto it and used a Sachs clutch I had lying around. Got the ecu remapped. Then with the short 320 diff it's quite nice.
Can't wait to get out for a skid in it!
