| OK so update time, After a few crail days i managed to melt (i think ) the impellors on the water pump, so overheating was plauging (sp) the bus, so a new water pump, thermostat and some plugs as a wee treat she runs mint again. ![]() The car lookin hard but being fricked waiting on reny n daves rescue chat. When i got it i thought il drift it a bit, see wat its like and if i like, then try to build a competitive car for eurodrift, for 2k. ![]() So ive started transforming it into a drift car from luxury sedan.. Basic interior removed lost me roughly 120kg's and ive fitted my sparco seat, and the hydro too (not in pick) ![]() Anyone fitting a bucket to an e34 gimme a pm i gots some hot knowledges for yo :thumb: The car BADLY needs a suspension overhall, so full polly bushes are orderd, and hopefully kw konigsports with whiteline arb's will arrive within the next 2 months. Buying upgrades for the e34 aint easy!!!!!! So in the mean time il try get the cage sorted out, fire extinguisher plumbed in and cut offs if im very lucky (read probably wont lol) and exhaust sorted out. The only other mods i can afford are different top mounts for some sexy neg cambers up front and a few small things like front wings and a non fricked standard bmw intake piping doo daa. Got me black TD sticks for repping it up too, and chizfab ones also oppinions/suggestions welcome appart from cut all the metal out the grinder will reach to banter, im not fat mike ![]() |

| Depends on the build, my crappy 535 is worth nowt, so simple repair panels and a skim of catty does the job here no problems. Im sure caged will inform you of the way he thinks it should be done and how doing it as above is all kinds of badness. bothered. |
