Slow White, the E28

[jrcanes55]

So I did the knuckles. Probably went a little to far. But hey, for a first attempt I'm pleased. I've got another set coming in from Germany hopefully next week that I'm probably going to mod but with a little less movement inwards. Right now It'll turn until the wheel hits the subframe, which is pretty cool. But I don't really need that. So next up will most likely be extended control arms of some sort.

After the cut and weld.



full lock left, limited by the inner passengers side fender, which I will be cutting out tomorrow.



Full lock right, limited be the subframe.



and the other side, full right.

Also my weld els came in from china land so I can start on the turbo manifold soon. hopefully after this last event I do in November.

After spending two weeks stressing out about the SWD end of year bash, renting the car out for a drift event in burlington, and spending literally every night the preceding week up till at least 3 am, I got the car ready to go for the event.

So many things nearly went wrong and I'm so happy I made it out there. Between me accidentally installing a knuckle on the wrong side, it seizing up on the control arm and having to get another one from work a 7am on the saturday of the burlington event and then setting my rev limiter settings up backwards I was stressed out to the max.

That wasn't even the end of it. Austin's car (green E30) wouldn't start the week of the event and the night before we were up until at least 2am getting it back together after diagnosing a bad CPS, flooded motor, and extremely fouled plugs.

But wait, there's more. Francisco's (red E30) all started leaking when we got to the shop to work on the to other e30 so we had to change those as well.

So tired as hell, freezing cold, and delirious we all made it to the event.

AND WE WENT HARD!









We looked all pretty in the pits at first. Then things starting getting violent.













Then it just got weird.



and then fancy



Team RAWDAWG had some of the best tandems of the day up until francisco destroyed my door and bent a tie rod.





We were supposed to do a team tandem comp, but unfortunately the practice run before we went for our comp run francisco bent the tie rod. We still had a load of fun regardless.

Well It's been a question I've had to answer at every car meet, every drift event, and every single time someone asks me about the car. "when are you going to do the rear?"

We No longer. It's happening. I gave up on trying to source more wheels. I'm just going to deal with having to pay to change tires at the track.

Sadly since the driver's quarter panel and the passenger's door are so mangled I'm going to be delayed a bit on those. But for the time being I'm going to go ahead gut everything up and get it ready to roll. I'm going to go ahead and throw a bash bar on the rear instead of the Pfeba lip because it's not going to fit. Really can't wait to be rolling around no looking like a tadpole. Also really need a huge wing for the rear. Like really, really need one.

Pics...



Started the first cuts. The top half is completely free. Cutting the lower half is becoming more and more of a pain the further I progress.











The fitment is insane. 17x8 et-65ish with a 15mm spacer....



Going to paint the interior and the cage soon. It's starting to rust. (Duhhhh)



And on another note. If you know anyone who want to swag their e28 out, my genuine Pfeba valence is for sale. $200 plus shipping.

Wow, love the evolution of this project!

[theitchybeard]

cant wait to see the rear, man!

[Robitussin]

[jrcanes55]

video from end of year bash all raw footage.

[mikey G]

Video's cool. Your rear door got DINGED! lol

[jrcanes55]

Can I be in dapper now?

[Grime]

Derper

[d0wse]

Huh... This is interesting

[jrcanes55]

Rear end of the car is cut out, wheels are on. Car looks petty goofy being that wide with only 8 inch wheels. So I'll need to do something about that in the future. But for now it's time to focus on boost. Here are some pictures of what's going on.























And if your next question was, well when will it be done? The answer to that is, soon. The first of my two new quarter panels came in so I can completely finish the left side of the car. Once the right side get here I still have to source a new door.

I also routed my charge piping. Used maybe half of what they sent me. Super easy. Intercooler and misc fan mounts and couplers are being ordered friday. Then all I'll need will be a turbo, injectors, and the material for the downpipe.
