Straight outta Germany - Vol 2: E36 Touring

[Dr.AK]

Should have them mounted by next week. Won't have time to fit the tires before.

With lots of luck, maybe this saturday.

[mo diesil]

what are you running for tyres?

215/35/18 Nankang NS2 all around. on 8j and 9j.

[Dr.AK]

Wheels go on tomorrow!

And I'm working on more low.

Adjustable camber arms for the rear and excentric M3 3.2 strut bearings for the front, anyone? Got camber?

[schroedin]

You better have pics immediately!

[Dr.AK]

Hoooooly fuck. It's epic. I tell you, it's epic.

It's lower than my dad's ti. No rubbing in the rear, slight rubbing in the front while cornering. Going to add some... uhh... spring limiters? Is that the right word? Anyways, going to add these to the front in a few days to stop the rubbing.

Now I'm not so sure anymore about the plan with the added camber... I'll let you guys judge for yourself once I've taken some pics.

Stay tuned for pics in a few hours.

Okay... bad news.

The rear needs more work. It doesnt rub on the tire, but it rubs on the wheel.

I' think I'll raise it up 5mm and add a few spring limiters (?) and see about more camber.

Ideally I'd have the rear fenders done a bit more by a bodyshop, but I don't have any money for that currently.

[Kielan]

So dope.

[yalden]

Looks awesome,

Are the tail lights aftermarket smoked units or just tinted OEM clusters? They pull the rear end together perfectly!

Wheels are spot on! ;-)

[Dr.AK]

Hey,

thanks guys.

Esp nice to hear that from you yalden, I've loved both your cars.

The tails are aftermarked smoked MHWs.

I'm hoping to find the time soon to get both my Touring and my dad's Compact together for a photoshoot.


I just had the chance to see my car drive from the outside today, drove my dad to the body shop to pick up my parents E39 (some prick backed into it last week), and drove the E39 on the way back. Damn, does my Touring look baller when it's rolling through the streets. I'm real proud of what I've built, haha.

[Dr.AK]

Finally installed the M-lip!

[schroedin]

So shiny

Seriously though it looks really good brotha.

[Dr.AK]

So shiny

Looks shinier than it actually is.

Seriously, paint on the roof is fucked beyond all repair, hood may need a repaint too...

As it is, I'm thinking a repaint for some parts is in order once the rusty parts have been swapped out, after that the car will get a good detail to get all the parts equally shiny.
