Something to get your panties in a bunch

[väpä]

haha I've been driving with my e30 for a year now with rearsprings which are cutted a bit more than yours. They have stayed in their place all that time with no problems. I dont trust them to stay there but wont do anything for it as long as it works this way.

I put the bigger rubber thing on the upper side and the original spring end allso up so that the cutted/toolarge diameter/non fitting end is on the lower spring plate...

How did You even managed to put them on the car?

They just went on, you know how the spring is pigtailed at the end to sit on the post?
After they're seated on the bottom post just twist them around until the top cut end is behind the upper post.

I'll post a picture later to explain it better, they seem pretty solid

But the best way to learn is to learn from Your mistakes
Keep up the good work

I have done a little research and have found you to be right, I now feel slightly stupid.
But the cut springs are temporary, I plan to switch to coilovers before it's running so
going over any bumps isn't in the near future.

[Rinku-Bitch]

They were cut before I got the car, I just cut them a little bit more..
They seem pretty secure to me, and the damn things were hard enough to get back
in there so popping out shouldn't be an issue, I'll believe you when I go over a bump and
my car is suddenly on the ground..

[e30_vert]

those are going to pop out the first slightly large bump you hit. They are made in the shape of a diamond for a reason... you can cut them....

[Rinku-Bitch]

Guess what?!?!

Cut springs LIKE A BOSS

Nice work so far, there can't be many 14 year olds building cars so props to you for that.

You may as well put that wiring loom in the bin, as it will be useless by the time you come to use it. Copper corrodes easily enough at the best of times, never mind tiny strands of it.

What do You mean You saw me do it?

I swear I saw someone on Stance-works put their wiring harness in a bath tub..
I just can't remember who

[CrackerTeg]

fixed.



who told you this was a good idea ?

If you're referring to me, no one. Ever seen what salt water does to EVERYTHING? Fresh water and a few other things are used to clear that off. Once that harness is dry, it will be just fine.

Haha was it you that I saw do it?

Yes the wiring will be fine, it was all grimy so it was washed with an old toothbrush and soapy water, then gets rinsed and is left until it is completely dry inside and out.

SD202, thank you for your incredibly uplifting vote of confidence..

Its fresh water. It'll be fine. Besides, the car isn't going to run ever.

fixed.

Wait. You... You put wiring in a tub of water?

Its fresh water. It'll be fine. Besides, the car isn't going to run for a while.
