Also, I need to make sure all my return springs are there and linked where they should be. I have one in place, not sure if there is supposed to be another.

i can take pictures of mine if you need them for comparison.

[CMart]

I meant E30. I'm confident my remote linkage is there. Without being hooked up to hydraulics it all works.

Hell yes. Nice work!

[CMart]

Thanks. Not sure why the potato quality happened. Need to go pick up a go pro I guess.

Go Pro's cost nearly the same as a set of rear tires....priorities haha

Thanks! Don't think I am going to make it tomorrow. It was fun for a short drive, but still far from steetable. I'm happy its running well. Going to rip it all apart again and get the coilovers, BBK, weld in reinforcements, and hopefully a cage in there.

Picked this up as a just in case motor. Then I thought, why not throw some nitrous at the current. Then after getting it on the stand I couldn't help but think, why not build some turbo manifolds?

Not sure what to do yet, but I'm sure it will be fun.

[REKIII]

have fun.....

[CMart]

I was thinking something much simpler. Log style.

I will more likely than not go nitrous for simplicity sake.

[CMart]

Got the coils off the other car today.

Need to wait for the BBK adapter to show up before I try to install on the coupe, but already curious how I am going to get these dialed in between height and spring rate.

[KaiserRolls]

Put them on. Let car settle. Adjust. Repeat as necessary

[KaiserRolls]

Are you swapping stuff from the coupe back to the vert? (suspension wise)

[CMart]

Yeah. I had a nice koni/bilstein/H&R setup for the coupe so I sold that and the vert is getting the oem stuff.

turbo m60 is a tough gig, but has been done. the compression of the motors make it hard to run high boost, fyi. but the stock motor can handle the low boost no problems. forged crank!  don't think it is even possible to due twin turbo, though.

[CMart]

Twin and single are both doable.

Just took the car out for what will most likely be the last ride of the year before dismantling.

[Earl]

Were many burnouts had?

[CMart]

Still a little wet so many traction was nowhere to be found. May take it out in the morning with a buddy who is in town and get better pictures/videos.
