Small Update!

Finally done with school and went right back to work, I work full time as a lineman, so I havent been able to work on the car as much as ive wanted to.

Drove it a few days ago and the brakes where spongey and the clutch wasnt disengaging all the way so i could shift the car.... brought it back to the garage and put it up on jacks. finally had time to look at the car last night and found out I blew out the clutch slave.dammit.



the spray from the slave after i pulled it out of the trans and pressed the clutch lol



I also was having a problem with my drivers side carpet getting soaked, thought it was the heater core but it turned out to be a hole in the wheel-well that was letting water in. temporary fixed with some rtv NFG!



So now i wait for parts! I go on vacation on wednesday so they should be here when i get back.



Other random stuff in the shop:

Extra set of stock wheels for the R32, picked up super cheap



Grandpa picked up a new whip....



Its karting season again, freshening up the Parilla Leopard!




Peace for now!

IM BACK!



Been working my ass off lately and not on my car, upside is i make money to do what i want on the car!

Ive been wanting to start fixing a lot of the little things in the car, which there are a lot of

I had the problem with the clutch slave which is now fixed and i have good clutch feel now! This also solved why i couldnt get 2nd gear to stay. all is solved now!

First little thing this week was the intake mount, it was ziptied to the side before and looked terrible. so i went to work...



test fit...





and the final product, not perfect but it looks good!






Im also pretty excited that two weeks ago that Pavel from BodyBeat.ru contacted me and said he would like to feature my car on their site! My first time ever doing something like this, theyre a big site in europe, not as big here but fun either way! Found a place to shoot the car as well!





See you all soon!

shouldn't you have a shield next to that air filter so it doesn't become a hot air intake?

Should I? Yes. Necessary? No.

Maybe eventually ill make a box for it.....

...you'll see the cool air vent protruding from the headlight cover. when the car is moving cool air will be pushed into the engine bay. plus the filter is on the intake side of the engine. it really won't be hot, in fact it'll be much cooler than you might think.

The only thing i'd do is a sealed intake box connected to the headlight cover vent..thing..when you have the time. if not there's no real reason to worry about the setup you've got. it's clean. i like it.

[BettyWhitE30]

very clean. really like all the work you've done here!

The filter thats on it has an inverted cone that goes in on the very end, i could even run pipe right from that small hole right into the end of the filter for some really cool air. both are good ideas but ill deal with that later!

Really appreciate it man!

Ok so if you remember i was having a problem with my drivers floor getting wet all the time, well i thought i fixed it, but i didnt. Went to a show on friday and the floors where we again, I did leave the car out the night before and it did rain. So i got frustrated and decided to figure it out once and for all.

So i ripped my carpet out.

It was dirty as hell anyway, if you look back at one of my first posts you will see that. plus ive been wanting to make the entire interior black. so it works out.







There where two obvious holes in the floor, minor and will be fixed before the new carpet goes in.

this being the worst of it, still pretty small though



and then this ver small spot of the drivers, this isnt the sole cause of the wet floor though. the passengers is much bigger and never gets wet! I sat in the car and had my dad "make it rain" on the car with a ho(s)e when i was inside it which is where i notice there was some leaking coming from higher up on the firewall. still have to look in-depth to figure it out.



This little thing also fell out but i can buy a new one and put it right in!



This is where she is for now

[K-Line]

First off id just like to say WOOOOP 40K VIEWS! THANKS!

I havent been on in a bit, but ive been doing a lot of little maintenance things, im also still waiting to get my floor fixed and find a damn carpet!

Heres the stuff...



Tie-rod ends



Sway bar end links



High beams



Some other small trim pieces



And finally some new rear shock mounts, the old ones where beat!









Ill be back soon, i hope.

Subbed, well done sir and I love the way the car looks on those wheels. I was pretty surprised.

Thanks sir, and yes i wouldnt allow this thing to look bad

My old e30 used to leak from the windshield down behind the sides of the dash and soak the carpets. If you get a new windshield it should fix the problem (or just replace with seal)
