These are just benefits, all the presents go to my daughter lol.

I have my motor stuff ironed out for the most part, now its on to drivetrain. Anyone have any reviews about the bellhousing adapters for W5x series? Ive seen a few in circulation lately but wasnt sure on quality/workability.

Hey "MAde in the 80s"...your coupe turned out awesome...Ive been away from the forum for a while and did not realized how much work you've done to it!!
I couldve posted a picture of my coupe with the XXR 513's for your review of what to get...My XXR's are 16" but yours look like 15's...correct me if Im wrong.
I have 8" all around but having thoughts of going staggered to protect the front end and prevent the rubbing problem I currently have. One of My Eibach springs, apperantly, lost strength as the drive side front wheel is off alignment by 0.6* and can't be aligned. I replaced teh strut and still have the same problem, so the only thing remaining is the spring on that corner.
But I already picked up a set of Esperil's for 1/2 price of the eibachs and hope that fixes the problem...otherwise, I will go staggered but If forced to go size 15, they will be 8", specially if I get the body kit you have on yours...bumper brakets, lights and repaint the whole car!

Didnt even know they made em in 16's. Looks good though. Mine are 15x8 with 30mm spacers in back.

are you keeping the w58 with stock gearing?

MadeInThe80s · Post by **MadeInThe80s** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:21 pm

I believe so Jonas. Got a pretty good deal on it so I picked it up.

I'll leave the gearing for now. My biggest issue is going to be figuring out a way to get the speedo to read correctly.

Found a w58 in a salvage yard for $150. Need to find time to go look at it and pick it up.

Now for a clutch and flywheel. I think Im gonna switch to a 212mm.

chris, considered a one piece?

MadeInThe80s · Post by **MadeInThe80s** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 12:13 pm

I have a one piece on it now. Id love to do one, but for $300+ I just cant fit it in right now. Plus the supra one came free with the tranny.

Gave her a bath and got her cleaned up some. She still needs some cleaning though.

Nice new bellhousing installed!
