Spirits project -e36 323 loon

[Harrison Lin]

Mot passed once the handbrake issue was sorted and ride height once again dropped plus bbs rims gone and style 68s as a temp set for now till the style 32s get done.
hope a new job is in the pipeline so maybe it can move up a gear again.

m50 fitted and running great
remap this week coming
slipping clutch soon to be replaced
alignment done on a hunter machine and all good now

recent pics from sundays meet and today in the garage








left my mark on the drop at aarons too as usual even with blocks of wood helping me off :hihi:hihi:hihi:hihi




heres some recent pics at the meet and thanks for looking and now the ride height till next mot(maxed out only adjuster spring left to come out up front and rears are adjuster collars left in but max drop-10mm higher than before when i ran without any

What size spacers were you running with the style 68's?

[Spirit]

Decided to raise the rear and try 15mm spacers on the rear wheels

215/40/17 et13 8.5 started with and pics of it fitted now with spacers fitted.





















So et minus 2 or et 0 10 j if I'm right?????? And yes drivers side is slightly rubbing still even at this height:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Will work it out

This build, mainly the process, how it went from, what i'd really dislike seeing on the road, to something i could look at without being embarrassed if the owner saw me.
So, So, so much better.

Lol def had changes really like it now

Well better update so here goes...
Rear passenger brake back plate shit its dummy and gave me grief as the spring shit itself and made an exit through the rusty back plate and left debris in its wake...cue cataclysm to the rescue to get it back in shape for me.

Alright being low but do it right so me being me and not afraid to get shit done to stop any hint of front arches hitting even with camber .I have said santa pod I will be at a much lower height so I needed to do something many wouldn't and that's mod the arch liner.since I rolled the fronts its not stayed right anyway so basically took it all out and cut the entire top arch section out and refitted the sides again.
Gained 5 mm extra clearance just doing that.

arch took a hammering when it was rolled with some filler making a bid for freedom but will be fixed soon so excuse its condition in the pic








Then coilvers got shoved south to the max minus helper springs




Pics of final look to come but boys I think I've nailed it and happy

Well another day another update so here goes with many many thanks to disco stu on this one so here goes with it and pics all down to stu as my phone ended up in the shitter recenly........long story

camber day:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

well its alright having nice and wide rims but even with rolled and flared arches to within an inch of their lives its no use without camber to nail the point home and of course save my arches from oblivion so today we reverse mounted the evo top mounts up front to gain neg 3 deg camber which really has pulled the fronts in now much nicer and the rears are fully adjusted to max on stock arms and tbh enough for me and makes a big big visual difference now.
coilovers down another 10 mm from before with 10/15mm to go

let the pics make the point





















need to take some location shots really but thats all folks see you at santa pod:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Massive thanks to kevin,stuey and aaron reeve performance today. cheers guys for all your help in getting these rims on inc all the running around changing tyres over for me i really appreciate all your help.fitment is insane in the flesh but some camber issues and the rears need to come up 10mm as drivers side is catching on the rear bumper bracket so need to work out some details.fronts may need a slight tweak and considering ripping all the inner liner out right at the top as after rolling the fronts its not staying put as well as i like.bit of tweaking here and there and fitment will be nailed ready for santa pod

[Spirit]

Teaser shots as i fitted the brock b2s today
