Five- oh swap into an e30.

Damn, need to find something that works

Yeah, I'm sorry I can't be of much help, truth is I really am in the same boat as you looking for a solution.

So I got a free fuel cell with fittings and breather line(not pictured)









The inside of the gas cap looks like a fish. If you don't agree and find this humorous I'm going to have to escort you out of this build thread.








Test fitted some mudflaps, these will be on soon. Not sure if I want to do front or rear, I assume front would be more useful though.








Building a new exhaust setup, peep the beautiful BBK headers my friend accidentally won on ebay for a fraction of what they normally sell for.











Repainted my rear spoiler, prep for the trunk itself starts soon(repainting entire car piece by piece)








A friend gave me some stickars.

I did laugh at the cap lol. Free fuel cell and exhaust exiting the engine bay directly?

[CrackerTeg]

I'll admit, I laughed at the chubby fish cap as well. I'm curious to see what the fuck you have up your sleeve with that exhaust. Hooning is a must of course.

Exhaust through hood. DO IT!!!

Stuart, I'd say toss the mud flaps on the rear. Sure the fronts throw some pebbles and stuff but the rears are driven which means when you're peeling out, doing burnouts, pretending you're Sebastian Loeb, etc, they'll throw a million times more shit onto your car than the front wheels. Just my $0.02 though.

^I like his thinking.

My exhaust will be revealed soon

That's a good point, the issue is this though: The rear only throws mud/ rocks onto the bottom of the bumper and the rear valance which has a strong, rubberlike coating on it. The front wheels however will( and have) throw rocks and mud, etc, down the entire side of the car.

But I will most likely be getting another pair before paint, and they look better on the rear so on the rear they go!

I love mud flaps, do both front and rear. Right now I only have fronts I need a rear set.

[Isuzupickup]

Reveal the exhaust!

[M.Doban]

400th post just for you, Stu. Car looks dope. The painted spoiler looks MUCH better. Excited to see what all comes of the new fuel cell!

[ChuckNDicks]

That thing looks like a lot of fun.

[ballski00]

do you have an old broken Wilwood slave sitting around that you won't use? I am having issues with mine since I'm mounting it differently.

love the driveway dude

If I find an extra set I'll shoot you a pm!

Not until it's done! I will say, it's even more illegal than the current one.

Thanks brosef <3 I'm going to be waiting on the fuel cell for a while, engine rebuild first and I still haven't found a job...

Thank you sir, I think it is

I don't man, sorry! I've just been getting rebuild kits, since it's $15 apposed to ~$80 for an entirely new slave. Would you mine posting some pics of your setup, or how you plan to run it? And also a build thread?




Well today I remembered why I don't park under trees, even for a few hours.






Then I pulled off my trunk and prepped it, and put some primer down. Need to run and get some more primer and then paint, and it should be back together. Hopefully will start on the rear bumper as well, tomorrow.






Then later today our friends Kevin and Miller stopped by, so Spencer(owns the house/ garage/ driveway most of my pictures are from, owns the silver rallycar and a white, m50 swapped track car), Miller(DS oem car), Kevin(Alpine MT2) and I went for some pics. Miller was the only one with the nice camera, but I snagged some on the iPhone.









Lastly I just want to thank everyone for the support, compliments and criticism. It always surprises me how well people take to this dirty, beat hoonmobile that was built in a small garage by two 17 year olds.
