  • This week, Ethan and Jack take a look at Edwin's newest purchase; someone else's half finished project car E36. We'll see if it was a massive mistake and not worth the £1500 price, or if it might turn out to be a great deal on a DIY project car.

    I bought a Volvo 740 off a chap. He’d entirely rewired it to his own random pattern, and then handily resprayed under the bonnet so all the wires were the same metallic silver. The horn was connected to the indicator, it wouldn’t start with the door open, things like that. So that was fun.

    @georgipetrov2203 Před 5 měsíci

    @stanceworks - You still have the wrong steering wheel position. You will go faster if you are not reaching as you are when at close to or nearing 90deg wheel angles.
    Seriously consider a 10Deg steering shaft angle drop toward your legs and 30mm+ wheel spacer to bring the wheel closer to you. Obviously clearance to your legs needs consideration and the spacer length depends on your arm length and conform levels, but you should still have bend to your arms at 90deg wheel angles especially given the amount of bump steer visible in the videos.
    For inspiration to wheel positions and rake angles check out some of me professional race cars.
    Good luck.
