ground control to major tom
Posted by on January 3, 2012
Little while ago I helped out a young mate of mine Jordy with his E30, When i say helped I meantI just let him and his friend Callum use my tools. I steered them in the right direction and let them do most of the work while my self and the rest of the ghetto crew rode huffy sliders down the street…
Jordy has a good understanding that suspension is important and when asking me what he should get the ground control kit was mentioned. He was reluctant at first as it was the most expensive option. In the end he sucked it up and parted with his hard earned cash
having a good look at the kit when it arrived i was very impressed! the machining is awesome and it came with everything we needed. It bolted straight in no hassles and the designers had obviously thought about everything. After installing the kit id say it was money well spent just for the ease of the install, and with full height adjustment and damper adjustment at all 4 corners its wins all round.
iv followed Jordy and his e30 a couple of times on leasurly drives through the hills and she looks planted. Plus she has the sort after LOW all the young kids love these days
with a set of wheels on there way and some fresh rubber the E30 will look the part, keep an eye out as you might see it again on the GG site
Hungover?

So as you recover from NYE, here’s the year from Mona’s perspective. No long reads, just relive some memories:
First up is January’s abortion of turn 1 at Mallala that saw me run off into the tyre stacks. Precipitated the S15 subframe conversion
Got the car back in time to tidy it up a little before heading out to Mallala again at the start of April. Second run of the day produced this after an over-zealous clutch kicked sent me to the middle of turn 1 (same corner again!)
Got it fixed up in time to head out to Stretch’s private day at Tailem Bend, where I finally got some decent track time with the new setup. Managed to hit up one more day at Mallala before I shot off for the year
Since I’ve been gone I’ve managed to source some new components that will hopefully help my heat problems, add a modicum of power, and finish off the suspension work for the near future. Details forthcoming, but expect to see a revamped Mona hitting the track mid-year!
