gdizzle Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 These showed up today, don't think I'll be using them though, looking at another wheel set. Lightweight 3pc wheels from an e34. I'm 90% sure that these are Epsilon Southern Ways. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 After a seasonal hiatus on the 142, the time to resume work has come. Over the last few months I've been acquiring/amasssing parts for the build, primarily focusing on the suspension. I've got 5"x8" #600 front springs ( ) and new KYB gas adjust shocks front and rear for now. I'm going to be looking into a different front shock setup in the future, but this will get me going since the top nuts on the front shocks are rusted and rounded and I'm just going to lop them off. :e-shrug: I acquired a set of 15x8.5 5x108 (can't remember the ET off the top of my head, will have to remeasure) Gotti J55B's, a set of IPD sway bars, and new front endlinks from IPD. I also started planning out mods for the engine, originally was going to DCOE's, then decided to ITB's and picked up a set of brand new in box GSXR 750 throttle bodies complete w/ fuel rail/injectors off ebay for a mega deal. After thinking the manifold over, I decided it would probably be best to buy another set of 750 ITB's and break them apart into two sets of two, using the first and last throttle bodies of each set so the throttle position sensors could be used. Then, I got offered an amazing deal on a set of Dellorto DHLA's that I couldn't pass up and scrapped the ITB deal.:rofl::rofl: So I now have a set of Dellorto 40 DHLA's and will be building manifolds for them soon. In addition to everything above, I still have the M40 swap to install, so lots of work to do. Anyone need a set of ITB's? Some quick info on the ITB's if you're interested.. _DSC5497.jpg by KeysarPhoto, on Flickr Quick photoshop Another photoshop.

matt b Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 And I thought I sucked at P-shop.... Looks good. Aren't you worried about what those springs will do to a body that old ? (talking about the car, not you) ? I know it's temporary and that you don't drive it much but that's stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY wagon uses #450's in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Literally spent the entire day polishing the wheels. I was expecting get so much more accomplished today, but nope.

--Aaron-- Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Nice work, yeah....I don't think I'd want to polish wheels personally. Hats off to you though, came out fantastic. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Got pissed off at the wheels and pulled them apart. OCD took over and I polished all the bolt heads and aluminum washers, and even the valve stem. Sadly, 3 more wheels to go.
