  1. DAMMMN! Them 14's look right at home on the '82! Another inch of more lows and she'll be sweet :P

    Agreed! but im just arguing the sexiness>practicality argument in my head at the moment... My driveway is steep and i struggle getting into my uni car park as it is lol Plus im not a fan of scrubbing, things just clear the way they are now.. also roll centre is perfect!

    At the moment practicality is winning.

  2. Thanks for all the kind words guys :D

    Dwee, My car hasnt been on the road for 4 months, and before that it was only on the road for a month so that probably explains why i havent been around much. I live in the western suburbs cant really tell you where i get around though, im all over the place :P

    EDIT: Also, ive got one more pic from a mate

  3. 2 effing G.

    Car has been sitting around for the last week with a few issues and i just got the chance to work on it today.

    Car started up beautifully, but had a few teething issues with the new motor. There's a bearing on one of the pulleys thats about to seize up so its making all kinds of noises, then when i put my foot over half throttle it just bogged down.

    I thought the timing was out so i adjusted the dizzy and played around until it was running perfectly. Took it for another drive, same problem but it now caused the engine light to come on.

    So i bridged the diagnostic thing to check out the engine code and turns out it was number 52. Looked through this 4AGE book that the sparky gave me and it only had codes until 51... great.

    So i jump on my phone and google said engine code and it turns out numero 52 is actually for the #1 Knock sensor. I looked around the knock sensor for the wire and gave it a tug and it was on its connector, tried to start it again and same problem. Now im crapping myself thinking this new motor is farked.

    I thought i might aswell try and disconnect and reconnect the knock sensor plug, turns out the plug wasnt sitting on its connector properly. Fire it up again after this and all was perfect! the loose plug was causing the engine to think it was knocking. Problem solved. :D

    So I gave it a wash, and drove it all afternoon and had the biggest cheesiest grin on my face lol Engine pulls hard compared to the bigport and just has so much more torque... motor is at another level + the sounds.. oh the sounds.... its just awesome!

    Now i just gotta put all that dash back in tomorrow and fix the bearing on the pulley, secure a few more things and make a plate for the ECU to sit in the footwell....

    Onward to some pics!

    Skids all weekend?

  4. Just make sure you remember that more low doesnt make it faster. For the track i run mine 20mm higher than on the street, so i can keep all my suspension working in its correct geometery... which means less understeer and better turn in ;)

    Good buy with the tires!

    I might see you up at winton next month, but i wont be racing :(

  5. I agree on the E30, defs the best car BMW made and in a close second the 135i turbo coupe thing. Awesome cars!

    They go really well with just a few mods done to them and the way they handle is just fantastic. I almost bought one instead of my Twinky and i was planning to eventually put a 1UZ in there once i was on my full licence, maybe before... :ninja:

    Your car looks great, keen to see pics of the lip and foggies installed ;)

    Corolla is so clean, so shiny

    Nice shirt too! :)
