[TERKIN]

was getting the rwd itch again and with s13 dead for the foreseeable furture decided to get this going.

 

so mot needed!!

 

didnt quite go to plan

 

set of fk coilovers in the post along with the other bits needed. just gotta decide on a set of less chav wheels then weld the diff

[TERKIN]

more or less all done,just got the drop links to bolt up! had to fit a  new rad today as the old one got bored of coolant :(

How much Terkin?

The B28 is a nice drop into my E30

The B28 is a nice drop into my E30

about 1750 could maybe do it cheaper without wheels and other little bits,

 

does have a new smf and uprated clutch,plenty to make from breaking coils msport bits.

 

it is one of the better ones left

liking! what was the 14s spec?

[thejames]

Must've been nearly 15 years ago now! P-plate, I think, 19" BK racing rims, eibachs/konis IIRC, uprated pads, dawes device (do they still sell them?!), colder plugs, FMIC off a Volvo in the scrappy(!), recirc delete (turbo flutter), decatted, bigger down pipe, 4" blitz-copy cat-back, loads of gauges! Really enjoyed that car but it was my first taste of modding. I was 20ish. Probably pushing 280-300, maybe? Made a lot of friends through SXOC. Likewise, with the e36 - e36coupe.com.

well then something unexpected happened and i now own my first and best 328 again!!

 

more pics when its motd and hits the roads as the new daily

Giz it 

[TERKIN]

after a little incident with exploding diffs ive decided to go back to a more dailyable car.

 

in the pipeline is new coilovers,quieter exhaust,standard steering wheel,fill the massive hole in the dash and run the standard 328 diff for now

 

the car lost its speedo and was banging and clunking so i assumed the welded diff had broken,opened up the case to inspect it and was greeted with this !a fairly non welded diff

it was only tacked in one corner yet some how lasted 4yrs and a drift day.

 

had to do something with this

 

aiming for the stock look

[TERKIN]

headlights stopped working and the suspension started making some pretty terrible banging sounds so its sat for a month or so yesterday i got a chance to fix headlights and get the new coilovers on

 

hids died back on the standard yellow rubbish at least its legal now

 

new ones are nothing special but they ride so much better and slightly better build quality

 

set a bit high

and some late snow pics

 

i keep having this recurring dream where i kill the soarer and 1j the e36

 

[TERKIN]

few dodgy moments with this since last update,been dailying this since my junk mk5 astra realised it was a vauxhall and stopped working...

its not really working as a daily drive so its  time for semi retirement and refresh, quite fancy a x5 in the meantime

 

coil over some how ripped apart

then 1 year to the day of my soarers alternator failing this happened,was quite a cheap fix in the end just a new brush pack needed.

then the thermostat housing decided to break

upgraded to a metal housing

standard mid section back on i hate it so sport cat is in the pipeline

and now this

[TERKIN]

oh and the wheel bearing kicked it,45mm socket needed for that job insane

[TERKIN]

7hr clean and polish yesterday came out mega

 

pictures are pretty junk i was cheesed off by this point

 

needs new wheels these are too small now

I love this

[TERKIN]

no changes to the car done maybe 100miles since last post but,

 

mot passed! car still has its 100% pass rate

[TERKIN]

the nice weather got me in the mood for a little drive of this,turns out the winter sitting turned it in to a bit of a pos..

 

full of mould drives like a shed and seems to make some odd noises decided to start part hoarding for a late summer fix up every nut bolt and bush style rebuild.

 

managed to get hold of a 99.9% mint wheel

had a play around with some interior paint so far its looking a pretty good route to go

ran a compression test did it cold all came in 145-150 not sure if thats within spec they were all close though
