JDM/USDM/GDM inspired E36 Compact from Uk

[Momanatorz]

Got round to doing a compression test to see how it's all sealing up !
best reading before was 180ish and lowest was 140.

here's the new readings
1+2+3+4+5+6


waiting for 2x new arms and got new tie rods to go with the new hubs.

old one haha




should have it done and setup by thursday

[Momanatorz]

got the hubs on today. lots of fun! arms and new steering wheel came today.
new shiny bits everywhereeeeeeeeee.



the lock was TOO much so I took out the Gibson/chizfab rack spacers and it was like.. perfect. no rubbing issues.. after I used the hammer that is. still. about 8mm clearance in the arch on lock.



lock with rack spacers too



without, not noticeabley less cos I didn't have the wheel on the last pic



and my new wheel


so I came accross a lil problem when tracking. the toe out was too much and the thread wouldn't wind into the tie rods any more ! so tomorrow I will be c utting the thread down by how much I need it to go in. the wheels are almost straight...
all should go well. corner weighting and camber + castor setup tomorrow ready for lydden hill.

[Momanatorz]

Lydden was pretty awesome, ableit fucked up because the car limit was too high and they introduced 15 min sessions. oh well hopefully next one is better.
Changed the rocker cover gasket the night before because I used a old on for the head rebuild and it was leaking a bit... also checked the torques of the head bolts.
The car was fuckin sick, feels like a different car. Spins up much easier and the steering took a while to get used to, but here's some pics and vids !

all ready the day before !

arrival


doing some grip racing


Crashed into a tyre barrier cos I kept pushing it too hard with toyo t1r's on the rear, the rear would not come out at all and I tried so hard to make it so. so I crashed lol. fixed in 20mins though, sorry no before pic. bent wing and slam panel :smash:
and I lost my o/s bumper trim waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :cry:
didn't think they'd be un-skiddable grippy. -3 camber, toe in and 40psi is the reason I guess.



.
and some videos, shit driving but my excuse is the car is totally different and I was scared of the black boulders

Okay....? I know it's shit but didn't think it was that bad.

[Eurohb]

usually people don't modify ti's.. and when they do its not the best. but i see it has some function to this and all I can say is keep it up and maybe this can be a lot better. what happened to the door panels?

[ZipTiedCB7]

i love this car
