i know the way, same with me first time i was out in the r32! pity its dead

[ste]

im sure the r32 will have a heart transplant very soon

[ste]

well as the car is not kept 40miles from me i only get to work on it one day a week so collected few small bits during the week... the car will have a full suspension setup carried out by wez in wkd before i get it out at another practise day..

first thing i got was this off lukeworx, the core is alot larger than wats fitted now and pipework is also wider.


then got this thrown together by joe in custom metal works, might seem silly to some people but the heat from the down pipe was melting all the soles of my passengers shoes so just got this to stop that( will have to modify it a tad i think to have it neater)


i then got a omori water temp gauge off scamper today which was faulty so the issue was quickly agreed upon betwen us and the gauge was binned.. so got these this evening off baz at bsp imports.. i know its not the best brand but at 25euro for everything ya cant complain..25euro got me the rad hose insert the gauge and a mounting plate for it so i well happy




so hope to throw all these in on saturday may have 1 or 2 more bitsd to add tomorow....

ya'll hardly have her out for the 22nd ste?

[ste]

No man be end of june i reckon

[ste]

well went to cavan to do few lil bits to it again... the weather didnt wanna play ball today so with the rain was stoppin and starting

just got this new bigger front mount off lukeworx here its for a s14 and seems to be ok-ish



had to cut battery tray a good bit


quite tight on other side too


i was afraid the vibration or movement may eat into fmic piper so just put some joiners around them to prevent them being damaged..ANY SUGGESTIONS ON BETTER SOLUTION????

bit bigger than old one


headlights seem to sit better now too....

also just lashed in this water temp gauge too nice and cheap

[lsd32]

Ste I normally would just get rubber petrol piping and slice it down one side and press it on the the exposed bodywork,if the pipe hits it will only hit rubber

[ste]

well gettin few more parts bit by lil bit picked these up today....



was originally only buyin the arms but found out he had the bushed sub frame so was rude to leave it there....

the dw bushes are brand new, as are the dw traction arms and the dw toe arms,the cusco camber arms are used...

the sub frame was black when collected it as were the camber arms... so sprayed the camber arms back cusco blue and just used the last of a tin of hammerite i had on the sub frame..

also just got these 2 lil important bits





next up is mani gasket and aftermarker track rods and ends

[SRray]

good feeling knowing you have done things yourself too,
if id space and ways to get the car to a track id save and buy myself something for some abuse!
