UK Bagged e46, UpDown

yeah, they don't fit, well they do, but you need to swap all the bases and backs over because of the lever. look on e46fanatics, theres a guide for that. but easier to just find some saloon leathers I bet. loads of E46s out there...


I'd just stick with 10.5s personally, 11s would be awesome, but I duno, better getting something to fit well? they;ll still look shit hot, these do already at 9.

sweeet looks like leather may come sooner than i thought
is there any difference between saloon leather and the coupe sport ones in terms of shape etc?

11s are a bit risky, i will have to look at what tyre sizes i can run too, i need as much stretch as possible without being silly haha
but yeah its only 5mm more poke so doable, but like i mentioned i dont want the camber at the rear to look too extreme compared to the front :/

11s up Back

It may be risky but you would possibly the First to do it with Stance

[Jorge]

Touring sport leathers are rarer than trying to find a set of cinamon M3s it seems...

I got 205 40 on my 10 inch Josh, same as 225 35

There's a lot more sedan leathers on ebay that go for good prices, I've been looking the whole time I've had mine and no luck yet lol

edit:10.5, I'll learn to read sometime

That video was quite a nice way to see how quickly the air ride works (when you get to that speed bump). Very impressive! Need some of that in my life.

Couple hundred, sports a little more.

M3 coupe leathers are the most expensive at around £800, but I think you could pick up sport leather for a saloon for like £250 if you waited and weren't too fused about colour.

way to ruin it rich

cheeeers guys. Well next 'big plans' as such will building out the gottis
i will put my rear dishes up front to make the 9s, and then get the rears built out to either:
a) 10.5s + 10mm spacer and have it sitting exactly the same as now but with more stretch
or
b) 11s, no spacer, will poke 5mm more, but then correct with some camber

option a is safe blah blah, option b is risky, may be over kill, as the fronts wont be cambered as i cant due to the custom top mounts i have, so the rear camber may be a bit odd

and then would it be strange running 9s and 11s? i could build the fronts to 9.5s but thats it max, as i wont want to run 205 40s on a 10, as any bigger tyre size will run the risk of fouling my bag perches up front
plus its just cheaper for me to put the rear dishes up front, so its something for me to think about.
im probably going to sack off the re-spray for now as i really want to move out but i need to get my finances in a better situation before that happens :/

how much do nice leather interiors go for? just something for me to think about

Love the part going over the speed bump, you've got the timing down for maximum lows, jelly

[Jorge]

Oh shit yeah so you do. I kinda ignored the pictures as I've seen em all before haha. Pretty much perfect for now then.

[Topazkd]

Haha, thanks man! I don't play around with build threads.....I build it and have fun Ahh the white te37s, brings bak the memories haha...they were nice but I never was satisfied with how the car looked. So I decided to go all out and build a car that reflects me and what I do/like
