My E36...

[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!

Seeing as I've never posted up a full spec:

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

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)!

Coming on well.

[BenKoflach]

very nice, tho lower it again!

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!

Boom!

[BenKoflach]

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

[BenKoflach]

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

[Mexican]

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. :-(

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

I need them rims in my life.

beautifull wheels, i want

[BenKoflach]

The clunk might be the nut that attaches the coilover to the hat...

Rebuilt the topmounts today, so it's not that. It sounds like lower suspension, but it's had new everything down there this year - Meyle heavy duty arms, Powerflex bushes, Eibach ARB, Meyle HD droplinks. Could do with getting it up on a ramp - all I can think of is maybe regreasing all the bushes.

Nice one dude.

Those shots r more like it.
The fronts cambered at all?

Cheers. Fronts are yep - it was aligned with 1.3 degrees all round in March, but has been lowered quite a bit since then, so don't know what it's at now. Does need aligning though. The rear has more camber than the front, sorta throws the pics out a bit.
