I am so pissed the bushings are the wrong ones !!!!
FFS sent them back for my mate to sort out they should be here by the end of the month

So my build is on hold till I get these and I am going on leave in the middle of September so my new parts will have to be installed in beging of october

But on the upside these came today, they look great, build quality seems to be good

BC BR-RA Full Coil Overs 32 way adjustable

Tip : If want to have a race car while being married, get the wife involved in the build lol

 

[Captain_Stealth]

Been so busy haven't had time to even look at my project worst part is I have 90% of my parts

Had a gap this weekend so did some workings

Indicator Harness Wire Up and Install Corner light - Got from Brucet
Change Wheels to E90 3 series 16" Rims
Install Rear Wheel Studs - Got from Axis
Rear View Mirror - EBAY
ZHP Weighted Gearknob

On the way to my parents house where I do all my stuff, worst thing about racecar no storage compartments lol

Rear wheel studs conversion for easy rear wheel changes, should have gone with the shorter length but its ok for now

E90 Rims - excellent fitment no wheel touching, the wheels that were on the car were 175/60/50 :RedNo: with bubbles in them

Looks like a 4x4 atm, coilies to be installed soon...

ZHP E46 Weighted shifter

Rally Rear View Mirror - so much view I dont need side mirrors lol

Some interior pics

Hoping to get more done next weekend, wish I had a full weekend to do this, atm its a Saturday only

Thanks for viewing

Very, very cool build, bud!

Wink 5 point rally mirror ftw.

Subscribed to this, really keen to see how she turns out, would never have imagined a build with suspension mods like yours and your planned engine mods could total under 40k

Awesome guy.. BTW how did you get the original Gear knob out, i want to get the same gear knob but cant seem to remove the original 1. When twisting, the rubber twists not the whole knob if u understand wat i mean

Usually you've got engage neutral to avoid cracking your windshield or review mirror, pull straight up with your chin/face out of the way as the release is very sudden. Quite a bit of force is required.
