Split pipe!

A quick call to the stealers and £14.21 inc vat later a new one is ordered

Sorry to hear about your situtation :( keep your head up

Still waiting for my welded diff to arrive :(

Got on with a few little jobs today, fitted new throttle body pipe, and made a bracket from the filter to the inner wing as the weight of the filter was the cause of the split pipe, fitted my richbrook tax disc holder and gave it a wash lol.

Hopefully the diff will arrive today or tomorrow with a bit of luck.

Chrome kidney grills gone.............

Hello blackness

Slow progress but this purchase is starting to get things back on track.

Sparco rev seat and sparco 4 point harness

Cleaning the garage out today and came across some red light tint

Been looking at M3 rear lights for a while as they are clear and red and get rid of the horrid orange indicators.

After finding the tint I thought why not lol. I'm glad I did as it looks so much better and you can't tell they've been painted!

And it only took 20 mins from removal to refit.

Free modding ftw!

Dont forget your indicators will no longer flash the correct colour, to get amber I believe you'll need a different colour bulb which will be hard to come by.

This is a mod that is done on the A8, to get amber through red your bulb needs to be green in colour.

Harness mounting eyes and back plates have turned up

Just got to decide whether I want to use side mounts or a base mount and slider for the seat?...

Decided to do something about the crazy heatsoak that these suffer from! Especially after a few laps drifting. If you think the 1.8t is bad....these are worse!

It's not pretty and agreed it looks **** but it needs addressing ASAP as its causing poor running.

I was just gonna slice 3 lines into the bonnet fold the flap and weld 2 sides on to create my own vent. But while clearing the garage I found an old vent that used to reside on my old Volvo so that'll be goin on this weekend hopefully.

Looked at other options before this but there's no room for a CAI pipe so I'm stuck.

It will be painted before fitting aswell

Ghetto

ooohh drift toy.. e36 is what i learned to go sideways in!! i liike!

Painted the kidneys again today along with the vent, took the grinder to the bonnet and got the vent fitted!

Still looks out of place but it's functional and is doing its job. Was never meant to look good it's there to do a job!

Newest addition in the quest for cold air!

Oooohhh the noise

It's true what they say: "there's no replacement for displacement"

Im wanting a E30 or E36 next to learn to drift in! Got a slight obsession recently!

You'll be hooked

I wanted an E30 as there lighter but prices were a bit out of my range at the time. Got this cheap off a mate so not to bad.

Still got a few things to do before it'll drift proper. ie weld the diff and fit a hydraulic handbrake. Just located an M50 manifold which'll get it up to 200bhp so that should be plenty to be going on with. Then all I want is the mounts for the seat, a decent steering wheel some coilovers and a de cat exhaust and it's good to go..........sideways

Ps, get ya self to Buxton on either 12th or 13th may. I'll be there on the 13th although I won't be drifting I'll be spectating

Another rummage resulted in me being in the garage till 2am this morning!

The result.......black rimmage!

Changed front discs and pads today, took the grand total of 37mins

And done.......

Very nice mate,

I was thinking of stripping my Octavia to get an E36 M3 Evo lol, but I think I have changed my mine to stick with the Octy.

would love a 3.2l Straight 6 tho as they sound AWESOME!!!!!!

keep it up mate

Cheers billy,

Dnt do it till your 100% sure!

Id fallen out of love with my vrs and then the turbo went and I was offered that crazy Volvo

I must say tho these e36's especially he 6 pots sound frickin awesome on full chat. DE-cat exhaust next on the list so should sound sweet.

Another thing I've found while browsing the net is they have some quirky features and for not much dosh I can be running the same power as a stage 1 vrs and have more fun

Would I go back to a vrs now? Nope I'd have the m3 evo

Diff collected!

Gonna drain it and wash it out and get it dropped off at my mates this weekend so he can weld it solid

Buxton vids from last weekends drift day. Rather than post all 20 odd just click show more once this is viewed

Some better than others as my lad was videoing lol

Diff stripped, drained and cleaned ready for welding

Starting to collect a few parts now

Hydraulic handbrake collected earlier

Fetching a drift steering wheel at the weekend once my mates removed it from his skyline.

Slowly getting there and should be ready for Julys drift weekender.
