My E36...

Where did you get your camber and tracking? I need mine doing!

I got Evo mounts to go in on top of the camber bolts off the strut.

Your roof black? Looks it and if it is, really like it.

AmD did it, highly recommended. They were really good, talked through the whole setup with me to make sure it was suited to my usage etc. They fitted some new track rods for me too. I have camber/castor adjustable front topmounts (RPM) and rear camber arms (Eibach/SPC), so took a while. Had so much grip after though.

My roof is that fake carbon vinyl, I want to get it redone in gloss black. It covers the holes where the roof bars were

Oh. Seen cool.

Yeah but you get preferential treatment and pricing and amd tho. Ha ha.

Not wanting to pay £60-£70 for tracking set up tho. :-(

Black satin would look good in the roof tbh.

Yeah, that'd work - either way I wanna get the Rotas refurbed in the same colour/finish.

Spent today doing more on the Touring. First up, stuck the adjusters back in at the rear.

Before:





After - not quite as nice, but it's much more drivable now!:





I also removed the front arch linings, as they need a trim to stop rubbing - they'll be going back in next weekend if not before.

Stretch shots:







Got some time to do some rolling shots too - there was too much traffic around so it was difficult to really get decent angles, and I also had to hammer it past every time, but a big shout out to my man Ben Haywood anyway - he did well considering!









How fast can you go through a layby... haha!


Shame about the post

Picked up a little something for the Touring on Friday...

To where it was in the pics on my drive? Tbh it's settled to only slightly above that. I'll get more pics this weekend!

[pecs]

Coming on well.

Just realised I never posted up pics of my interior additions/mods. Needs a hoover and the sun was so bright that the pictures came out rubbish, but see what you think -

This is a random old pic of my steering wheel:



E46 Clubsport gearknob (already looking worn because of the amount of driving I do!):



Ebay special alcantara gaiters, with M stitching (kinda wish I'd have stuck with plain):





And finally, flocking (in need of hoovering)!





I also fitted a blanks in place of a switch I had and the ASC button:

Why?

That makes it look like lower spec?

[BenKoflach]

Why?

That makes it look like lower spec?

All it had there was ASC anyway, and a big gay missile switch that did nothing. Looks much better without!
