I just have D2 coilovers at the moment. much better options available but its what i had to work with at the time.

I use DSM camber plates for caster adjustment. I was able to get 4.2 deg of caster using them. I have a cambered upper bolt for the lower strut mounting to get my -2.5 deg of static camber. handles real nice.

It’s your car so do what you want. But you will not find many like minded people here since most do not own Honda’s and such do not mod their cars like the local Honda fanboi. If you are happy with it then go for it. But don’t expect lolypops and butterflies.

Interested if you still have them. I’m in the portland area.

That’s a much better idea. Brakes are the most important component in your car. Don’t cheap out on them.

You would be better off using a threadsert. Not cheap but worth the cost.

I am so sorry to hear about this.

You are all welcome;)

WELCOME Bodo!!!!! great looking car!

Quoting ApexHunter: The way the fitting on the valve cover for the vent was grafted on there looks real nice. I was wondering how this car was doing.Thanks guys! If I had to do it all over again I might change things slightly. But I am happy with how it is for now:) the build never ends haha.

Quoting GSTwithPSI: Looks great, Evan. That catch can is legit.Which size BEP housing are you running?It's just the basic housing for the HX35. Nothing special but in the long run I will ether upgrade the turbo to something a lot nicer or I will use the 12cm twin scroll housing and...

It's been a while since I have updated this build. HX35 is installed and i just finished making the catch can. Wiring and a proper air box will be the next goal.

Any oil in the water?

Knechts auto parts sells the vr1 20-50 for 3.99 a quart.

I am interested after he makes a decision on whether he is or not

Just make sure the events you run allow it. Most racing organisations I know of have outlawed this due to fire hazards.

any pics of the rear underside?

Welcome to the .org sir!

Awesome Shane! It seems the cold is not holding you back:)

Just make sure that your local laws allow them. Otherwise you will have to keep and run the stock setup on the roads.

Sounds like it's a great price. But the mounting in the pictures does not look correct for the E39 platform.

I would recommend doing a compression and leakdown test first. Also check to see if oil is in coolant. That will at least tell you if you have a blown head gasket.

What is "it"?

His BOV is plumed to the port behind the throttle plate. The tapped nipple is vented to atmosphere.If it is not that way any longer I will be having some questions for him tomorrow when I see the car.

Have a picture of the old brackets that didn't work?

Quoting iceman69510: Quoting EHmotorsports: each state is different but in Oregon you have to be a licenced contractor to do your own work. anything under 1000 is ok as it usually doesn't consist of messing with any engeneering of the structure.Check. Another reason not to live in Oregon...

I get what you are saying. but if regulations required people to be a Licenced mechanic I would think the opinion would change. each state is different but in Oregon you have to be a licenced contractor to do your own work. anything under 1000 is ok as it usually doesn't consist of messing with...

what brand are you using? cheap china brands if that is what you are using are never going to be consistent.

Quoting GSX_TC: Started off as like Positive 1.4 pretty off, then we set it to negative 2.5 and it seemed to match the front but after driving it looks further in compared to the front. So I might have him set it to like 2.0 or 1.8 negative.nice. If you ever want to do a track day around a...

What were your final camber,caster and tow readings?

yeah the BBS look nice on the vr4's

click click

just some standard issue evo 8 wheels.

what were the leak down numbers? Also the link says 145psi on one cylinder.

a fresh painted BG with a good gloss coat looks amazing.

Quoting GSTwithPSI: Quoting EHmotorsports: my SSL's are 36lbs ea.^That's pretty light for a leather seat. Anyone got the weight on the stocker? Betting the stock driver seat weighs in a tad heavier than the passenger due to the extra creature comforts.yes I was pleasantly surprised.

my SSL's are 36lbs ea.

I always found that if i was having knock when moving the throttle that I had to adjust my throttle tip in. but that was only if it was showing a lean condition. seemed to alleviate the problem.

If I can show up with black front fenders and primered trunk. you can show up with your minor paint issues;) they are 20+ year old cars. its acceptable;)

if someone can weigh the cloth evo seats I can weigh my leather 8's.

we will all have to find time to hang out and have a few beers when all cars are up and running at the same time haha.

The stampings are the factory brackets. The outside brackets are what was made.

hahaha I know the feeling. I wouldn't have bought my seats until later if i didn't run into the deal of a century

sending PM's to people on the list. If I don't hear back in 2 days i will remove you from the list so others can have a chance at them.

I would recommend starting here and any further questions can be answered. Good info for first timers in DSM or gvr4 platforms as they share a good percentage of components mechanically.click

I will be working down the list. If you are not on it then I am not sure when. Few months maybe. They are very labor intensive to make.

When they are available I will contact everyone. I don't feel comfortable with everyone paying at one time.

Yes

also if you wanted the back shimmed up I can make a solid aluminum spacer and longer bolt to bring the back up a bit. it would just fit under each rear mounting to the body.
