Yeah booked in for the 23rd

I'm sure you already have, but get an alignment and read out before you go for the cert

Makes you look prepared (not that you aren't but yeah)

So...

I can do my own alignment,
take it to a shop and get a read out, and that'll be fine?

chris · Post by **chris** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:16 pm

Correct!

Okay, forum, help me

I seriously need to get my e30 welded up.

Have a 3cm2 hole that needs repair.

Just went to a panel beaters and was quoted $300.... That was the cash price.

HELP!

If you read the post above that it says "Took some better photos after setting my height and getting my alignment. "

Picked up a mazdaspeed bolt in rollcage from japspares, doesnt fit very well, hardtop nor softop goes over the top of it so ill have a better go at that tomorrow. Just don't think i tightened it down enough tbh.

Cracked the hardtop trying to fit it aswell which i am super pissed about (about 5 cm long) my own fault for not checking clearance first though.

Fitted my new wheels. Need to do more guard rolling to get them to fit properly. Very stoked.

great job Chris! its always nicer to have your intake on the colder side of the engine. Have you considered a vented headlamp cover for that side? You could do a cold air intake into your wall between your engine bay and under your wipers but you would have to get tricky with the pipe positioning due to the steering housing.

I really need to book mine in for a cert ... and somehow find the ~$600 it's going to cost

Perhaps I just need to put it in the garage for a few weeks while I save and do some cheap fix-up projects that I've been putting off for ages.

jeez $600? Is that what they are charging nowadays?

I'm so going to make it worth my while and do coilovers, brakes and turbo at same time

I need to do mine to, do you guys just drive around without a warrant at the moment?

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 3:48 pm

Mines off the road till its turboed, some people just swap in stock suspension, take it for a wof and swap them back again

warrior · Post by **warrior** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 4:18 pm

Yeah problem is I have that and a supercharger hanging off the side

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 4:28 pm

Take the belt off

its there for looks

warrior · Post by **warrior** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 4:53 pm

AHHHHH good idea, never thought of that.

authentic · Post by **authentic** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 5:13 pm

CarbonMiata posted some pics that made me squeal like a little girl

I sent over to him a set of mazdaspeed sideskirts a few months ago and these images show the test fitment from the first set out of the new mould.
