Raebird
Thanks for the offer, but I don't think we could live in your shed...

Raebird;13178 wroteafter driving the 360 on the road I have established that the wheels are far too silly and would require more body mods to work successfully.
I thought I had spotted them on ebay or gumtree and figured that me be the case.. What are your plans now.
Raebird
Yeah threw them on gumtree, will be going to 14x8's hopefully, however I have also found an overheating problem whilst flogging the ring out of it so I have to sort that out and there are a few other small problems that need attention. So, I will sort them out first and just throw the standard alloys back on for now untill such time as I can purchase the new set of alloys.
Which will look like this:

Supplemental efan will be dead, bet ya. Switch to a full efan or add a pusher instead.
Raebird
@egads already has twin thermo fans, the coolant reservoir is cracked around the mounting bolt hole, I think that is the problem.

That'll do it. Black cap or white cap?
Raebird
I'm pretty sure it's grey... But I could be wrong, I haven't looked at it since last Friday as we have been busy packing and moving house...
egads (she/her)
Faded black maybe? Anyway, check it is a 75kpa one.

Raebird

I think i saw an off hand comment that the dude with the built 242gt just got the squirter kit, i can't find his thread at the moment though.
Raebird
I think his post is in the projects thread, I will have a look for it.

Its BMW squiters from which model??
Or can other cheaper to get ones do the job , like Ford maybe. You know how Beemer wreckers gold plate their parts.....
Raebird
I do have some squirter nozzles from an international truck engine in the top of my toolbox, I wonder if they would work in a red block?
Ex850R
Arent they just a metal tube squashed on the end and a clamp anyway?? Ye could make em , try em out with water and hydraulics shops have clamps or they are brake line clamps .

You can buy them cheaply from the US... Truck ones are about m10 size or bigger, these ones are like m6...

Been a while since I have updated this thread, but I have received the engine brackets from @angus242164 (thanks mate) needed to install the poly engine mounts, will not have a chance to fit them untill hopefully the weekend after next as I'm in the middle of moving house and doing a trip to stanthorpe for the 2nd round of the stadium drift series this weekend.
Still yet to sort out the coolant reservoir and radiator hoses and I have also noticed a slight oil leak whilst it has been sitting, possibly from the crank seal (unconfirmed), if that is the case I might aswell fit the timing belt kit I have collecting dust and also fit the 'K' camshaft I have.
I will endeavour to take pictures when I do get to work on it, but there is a slight (likely) chance I will forget.

Rolling on the new wheels yet?
Raebird
Not yet, I'm having trouble deciding what to do now as nobody really seems interested in buying the steel wheels, I may try a smaller tyre on the rear and hopefully it doesn't scrub, otherwise I will just go back to standard wheels untill I can make up my mind what to do...
