What's up SW! It's been a minute; here's my new love:
And here are some lovely ladies enjoying it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqpu6qdeSgY
It's an 85' 3.2 from California which had an engine problem so in 87' a 3.3 from an 87' turbo was thrown in, along with some metal turbo flares and other small upgrades. Brakes and and suspension seem to be that of the original 3.2. The engine did well on compression tests and felt stronger than any real 930s I had driven around here. The transmission is a 915 which was beefed up to handle the turbo. Also has a cheap maaco paint job which is cracking on some edges. The car was bought by a military man here in Canada and sat without being driven much before he gave it to his neighbour who flipped it to fund his corvette build...
Last summer I got it all fixed up and roadworthy; now the fun begins
First upgrade was a Momo Mod 8. Highly recommended to anyone as lanky as I am. At 6'6 I wouldn't dream about heel-toe without it.
Next up was to free up the exhaust system. Chose to go with Brian's Rarlyl8 Hooligan.
Currently I'm keeping my eyes peeled for suspension bits, roll cage, brakes, racing seats, and if I find room in the budget I'd love to get some old magnesium BBS, maybe E55/50s or something with the turbo fans. Paint will also be done at some point. I'm leaning towards a very dark grey with a hint of hue to go with the gold/black/chrome.
This was my last build, an E30 vert on coils and Type-As: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=49085
Last week I picked up an e23 simply because it was way too cheap for how clean it is. Might have some fun with that too...
Anyways I just wanted to post here to keep myself motivated, thanks for your time!
Comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
