hakhawks cosmos e36 coupe

[hakhawk]

no fogs. had to throw some cosmos paint on the covers, because the jet black stood out too much. mirrors are average, but not speckled anymore, so theyll do for now.

need to wash car

[hakhawk]

more driveway photos

installed a fire extinguisher today using an oem bracket. bit of insurance, and necessary for some of the local racing events i plan to do.

bolts to the underside of the seat, nice and easy. had to drill one hole to match the extinguishers bracket.





seems the car needs a good vaccum lol

[Spados.]

I've got the same clunk noise from the L.H.R.
Think I'll check my fuel tank straps soon haha.

Car is looking spot on Troy 👌

im sure everyone sick of my iphone photos....

so heres some more!!!!!!!!!!!!

took a drive to thompsons dam today, weather was perfect for it

firstly, couple photos of the dam itself





and some photos of the car. took these at erica, as there were a few too many people at the dam to get decent pics

bit of shed therapy today, decided to finally make the aircon blockoff plate ive been wanting since the engine swap.

yep, bench is a mess. gotta get to that!!



finished product, threw some barrel paint on it and nuked with the heatgun, seeing as its cold today.



and on the car. its not much, but better than popping the bonnet and seeing holes in the firewall.





i can make up a .dxf file or image with basic dimensions for anyone that wants to make their own or get one cut.

Seriously brightens my day every time I see this outside Autobarn, very clean build & really stands out amongst the traffic.
I'm the other cosmos e36 coupe getting around 'ralgon.

haha cheers!! drop into the autobarn workshop(in mcmahon street) sometime for a chat if you want. there about 3-4 cosmos 36s around the valley that i semi regularly see getting around now



bought this coz i can, and its cool, and im a retard that spends money on silly shit.

translates to ~ supplement handbook. its about 13 pages long, and caters for 4 different languages, that equates to 3 pages in english :p



mainly got it for this page, coz i have same splitter(except carbon) and spoiler(rep with risers) always on the hunt for wickerbills.



and some specs, the GT has a few more killawasps than mine(which will be irrelevant when charger goes on), and now i know how much oil the new sump will take.

You've probably heard of the black straight piped 328i, yeah that's the one.
I'm actually quite interested to see this thing up close in the flesh and see what problems you encountered etc, I'm planning a similiar swap myself.

haha, have had a few people comment on what i assume was your car :p

had a douchebag customer not turn up for a job this afternoon, so thought id make the most of it, and started the false floor.

cut shape out



add bracing/risers, because this section of the floor isnt actually flat



covered with carpet, and added some mounting straps.



few screws and its mounted. next is to sort out how im going to do section over sub box. needs to be strong, but still allow doof doof to come through.

I'm curious to hear what people think, nothing good I'm assuming?

Don't worry, I realize how shitty it sounds below 3k/around town. I'll agree with everyone there.

[hakhawk]

haha yeh, comments are generally on the exhaust noise :p

another thing ticked off the list to install supercharger

installed the piggyback ecu patch harness today.

holesaw'd the back of the ecu cubbyhole behind the glovebox, which is where the piggyback ecu will end up



and squeezed the harness in the cubbyhole with the ecu and vanos unit, was a tight fit. plug comes out into behind glovebox area enough to get to easily. currently has the bypass plug on, so its running as stock ecu. piggyback will be plugged in when i need to.



the harness for those that cant remember it. ended up sealing around all the pins, tried adding a shield around it all, but wouldnt fit, so that was removed. should be no troubles where it is though.

waiting for parts sucks, so heres some pics





CAMS licence came yesterday, now i can take it out on the track at some local events



adjusted throttle stop on the weekend, as full throttle reading was a bit low. id say cable is stretched. i have a replacement cable to put in next time the cowl panel is apart.



and i almost lost the car friday night when some dumbass in a hilux took the corner too wide and locked up out the front, destroying the guard rail in front of the neighbours yard(one guess why theyre there in the first place). my car was last in the driveway, so only a couple meters from being crumpled.

Every bloody time i look at your car i want a LTW rear spoiler even more who makes the front one? never seen them for sale before! Keep it up man, perfect as usual.
