My hellrot E36 coupe, the journey so far.

Ok, the update that no-one has been waiting for.

Got hold of some 205/40/17s so i could try out the EBs on the car and they fit no problem, i've had to fit some ZM3 front top mounts and adjust the rear arms to give me some more camber.

And as you can see, it's just not enough to get the clearance I need unfortunately, so i'm just gonna have to invest in some rear camber arms

No problems up front, but it's gonna another month or so until I can mount the EBs as they need re-painting, new caps and as mentioned earlier, adjustable camber arms.

So with that in mind I put the 205/40s on my other wheels, added a couple of spacers and this is how it sits at the moment.

what are the specs on those bugatti wheels? Could look pretty good slammed with some stretch for sure.

They're only 8x17, the offset is et10 though so I'm a bit apprehensive about the amount of poke I may end up with.

Great progress and updates!!!

[nellydragracer]

awesome progress mate. The new wheels seem a little better than the previous ones.

Thanks man, they are style wise but are no wider.

My coilovers finally arrived on tues, fitted them that night. I didn't get any pics of it 'cause I haven't lowered any more than it was before and I didn't want to do that until my wheels arrived..... which ironically they did today! But I can't afford the tyres I want for a couple of weeks.

Now for some pics..

I do have some others up my sleeve, nothing spectacular but should still look pretty cool. I'll have some pics when they arrive

A tiny but significant update, coilovers are ordered! Should see them in a few days, I hope to have them Fitted by next week.

*update* The company I bought the coilovers from didn't have them in stock, which pleased me no end.... Should arrive thursday or friday next week

Update time!! I know it's been like four months or something but its an update. It spent a few weeks at the bodyshop being painted then came out looking a million dollars, well, almost. the bodywork side of things is pretty much done now just a couple of small bits on the front bumper and bonnet to attend to but before then, lows

Been too lazy to get any more photos so these will have to do for now

[PRO-STAR]

coming along real nice

[nellydragracer]

Nice work,looking forword to see it finished and on the road!Do you have spacers on those wheels?

Thanks man. Yeah, i've got 25mm out back an 10mm up front, which gives an equivalent offset of et22 rear et37 front as the wheels are et47....
