Rear wheel needs less tire.. or less air pressure, one of those.
Uh... rear needs more tire and more air pressure? I blew that tire out and was waiting for my spare to arrive... So I snapped pics.
The car has been on stock wheels for a little while since it was being sold. I just had new (winter tires) put on yesterday but they wont fit lol... My rear camber arms will be in Monday and then I can get a few * more so they will fit. Once my Low Clearance coils come in, I am going to swap the fronts and gain the -3* up front and the rears will have the adjustable arms so I can drop this bitch an inch or so.
But really, figured I would put a thread together for my 1997 M3 Build. Car is currently a stock, automatic, s52 with an intake and UUC Catback. Car is lowered all the way on HR Street Performance Coilovers (not low) with VMR V710 Front: 18x8.5 et 35 (15mm Spacer with 215/35/18) -- Rear: 18x9.5 (10mm Spacer with 235/35/18)
Here are some shitty pics to start:
So this is as low as the HR coilovers will go... The tires were just too small up front and it just needed some help....
So this leads me to my new endevour. This is my DD and I typically drive this car 360 days a year. I put close to 40k on the car just last year. I have replaced every part on this damn car the last 2 months. With every problem resolved I figured it was best to let it go, so I put it up for sale. Since it was an automatic, most of my responses were simply "if it wasn't an automatic, i would buy it" blah.
So I said fuckit and decided to make this car something I really enjoy. Starting with a solid 5sp, clutch and flywheels setup to support the extra boost in power
Without further ado, here is the specs for the build!
Gutted interior. Only thing remaining will be the drivers console, front door cars and 2 front seats. Will shed 300lb+ and hopefully drop me below 3100 with driver and gas.
Should make a good 440whp/345wtq based on similar setups from the same tuner.
Trans
95 ZF 5sp
UUC M5 LTW Flywheel
UUC Ceremetalic Clutch
UUC Red Transmission Mounts
UUC Braided SS Clutch Line
Suspension
Stanceworks Zero Clearence Coilovers
TMS Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms
VMR V710 Front: 18x8.5 et 35 (15mm Spacer) -- Rear: 18x9.5 (10mm Spacer)
Winter tires: Michelin Pilot Alpine Front: 225/45/18 -- Rear: 235/40/18
Thanks for checking this out. I hope this turns out as well as it sounds! All of the parts have been ordered and the build should commence this Thursday and be wrapped up in entirety within the next 5-7 days.
