    Daffy,
    i work at Pfaff tuning. The 964 project was our baby, myself and 2 other guys! Needs a little lower in the front and its ther pefect car! The new seats are here already and the stereo is installed. I cant wait for him to take delivery. Im super sad to see it go! . Its sitting in front of me as i type this.

    Erik


    Here is another feature done of the 964 this past summer:

    Remember those days when you were in elementary school staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring so you could rush home and do something far more exciting? That's exactly how I felt the day I got to shoot Pfaff Tunning's project 964. Having followed the build on their fanpage and seen pictures of it completed only a few weeks prior I was really eager not only to see the car in the metal but do one of the first dedicated photo shoots of it.

    That would look so good with a nice set of wheels. There's also a meet in Renton tomorrow night at 7 at the Landing if any locals want to attend.

    The wrangler woulda been cool if it was a lifted rubicon on superswampers...

    We also need to lower my booty, saw my muffler off, and wax my paint...


    Yeah but it drove like poop and the spedometer only reached 100, so obviously it was poop. Nah it wasn't that bad of a car, but definitely wasn't a BMW either.

    Well by now you've already done all those things. Now to get rid of that dent...

    Thanks! Yeah I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy your build. Tell you what, I'll trade you my red interior for your bags lol

    UPDATES: So seeming as I need one new panel and a new bumper, I've been heavily considering doing a front widebody conversion. I'd probably go with the ER Widebody, seeming as it fits and isn't too much due to mass produced pieces. Down the road I'm thinking of having custom rear fenderwork done to make it a little wider, but I'll have to wait and see.

    Here's what the widebody looks like though, for the record it doesn't stick out any more than the rear fenders so it wont look too funny. Plus I'll be able to run 10.5"s in the front

With just an FMIC, DPs, and JB4 ECU flash most people are getting numbers like 415ish WHP/WTQ. Then when you start to add intakes and meth injection and such this little car easily becomes an M3 killer. I think they're one of the most overlooked platforms, and it's great to see more and more people finally realizing that



    Thanks Oxer!



    Oh you Special thanks to this guy for all the help so far, he's also the one who got me into the whole lowered car scene last year. He got me out of my lesbian-mobile Jeep Wrangler and got me into this car instead.

    Oh and we shall be lowering the front back down a bit tomorrow in preparation for Golden Gardens the next day. If anyone else is going send me a PM and we can exchange numbers and such so I can meet some more local car enthusiasts.

On my CLK everyone on the forums said that only an 8.5+32 is what fits and that at +20 it's stretching it. I fit some 19x9.5+25 nicely up front. Let me know if you want to stop by and fit a wheel.

    Sweet! I'll probably end up sticking with 18"s because 19"s on this tiny car look funny, but it'd be interesting to see how the +35 offset lines up. I'll probably end up running +40 in the front and +35-40 in the rear just to play it safe with fender work but we'll see.

    Thanks! Yeah I love the E82, it's not something you see every day. I just wish we got the hatches over here in the US

    I have a love-**** relationship with mine. Sometimes it's my favourite thing in the world, and others it just makes me want to break things. (This was mainly in relation to installing my suspension). It's a really fun car though, if you ever get the chance to test-drive one you should!

    As far as updates go not much has changed. I'm still saving for wheels and tires, and plan to get a whole front end respray at the end of summer. Which means maybe a new bumper, trunk, and some other fun things I've figured out performance mods as well, but I'll fill everyone in more on that later on. Sorry for the slow build, but if I rushed it where'd the suspense be?
