Loving the wheels too, same as what i have! except mine are 15's..
Should look badass
Fully done next week is the plan, dunno if I'll bring it to mondello on its first outing though, lot of cash to throw away when something breaks/falls off !
Might spin (trailer!) it down to Tullow instead though if it all works out .
Mondello is april, cooooommmmeeee ooon!!!! :D:pQuote:

Right so, few updates from the last couple of days.
Since I got this complete set up from an E30 it was supposed to be a plug and play deal with the wiring, ended up being more like plug and smoke.
Turns out since mine doesn't have ABS I needed to cut that 12v supply wire from the engine loom or else it goes straight to earth through my body loom. So with some melted wires and a busted main engine relay replaced she started no bother, few !
Onward, needed to get an E36 gear selector, thanks to GEM once again for the advice and the lads down in AC car sales for the parts.
It was missing the selector rod so I shortened mine, ended up sleeving it since I prefer things not to break in the middle of a days fun

Got the wiring tidied up, made a new end for my throttle cable and started on fitting the rad. Before it went in I wanted to give it every chance of cooling this thing since Im running quite a small fan I pikey'd from the corolla. Decided to panel and duct the front valance area to keep as much air as possible heading through the rad, little over kill maybe but this thing needs to be up for abuse !
Some templates

N/S duct and modified rad mount

Rad set up complete ready to go in. Spal fan from the old corolla radiator set up and Z3 fan switch. This switch is dual stage and operates at a lower temp. Had to sit the fan off centre to avoid any contact with the water pump pulley.

Realised I needed more parts in the form of a coolant reservoir, mine was part of the rad but I got the larger E30 6cyl rad with the engine so obviously wanted to use that.
Gem to the rescue once again, quick spin down to Wickla later and I had it in place, made a small bracket to hold it and you can see the heat shield in place for the filter also

Other than that I had the front part of the prop shaft shortened by 10cm, its on and the welded diff is back up there.
I also got a complete exhaust system as part of the deal, its a modified E36 system and fits pretty good.The rear section is ridiculously heavy though so might not be on there very long, Im feeling some sort of crazy boso shit back there instead !
Love this kinda fab work the little things truely stand out to me! I need to invest in more tools!:)Quote:
