My M5 engined, Touring car wheeled, air bagged suspension'd E36 Coupe

[andy318is]

Still dragging this build along although over the last few weeks its been absolutely kicking my arse!!

Designed and had made a crank pulley adaptor for the dry sump pump..... looks pretty



Got the rear arches finished up, new inners fabricated and welded in, as fitment it pretty tight it was time to get the camber and tie dialled in so I could get the arch / wheel fitment finished up.

Homemade camber gauge, at ride height I'm running 4 degress of negative camber



Then was toe time, good old string line method....



Tweaked bits as necessary, slapped on a front wing and took stock of how its shaping up





I really need to get back onto the engine but the thoughts of that makes my head hurt so I think I'm going to do some bodywork and get some body panels into primer :-D

That's all for now ;-)

Looking forward to seeing the engine fit fully!

Once I saw the E46 front end swap I got pretty disappointed, but that completely changed when I saw how well you were executing it! Great build!!! That e39 M5 power plant is the icing on the cake!!!

I could make up a figure and act like I know

Haha, I was curious, the race cars I used to work on were centerlock. We were torquing down to 350 ft-lbs, and we used a big ass torque wrench lol.

people are way to quick to **** for no reason. you're doing this for yourself not for them. I'm very happy you didn't let peoples negative comments from stopping you to post your work. Like others have said you have great fabrication skills, and most importantly drive to keep this going.

Can't wait to see this car come together for something unique and awesome!

I don't think there's been any real negativity for a couple pages, its like water off a ducks back :-)

Enough to warrant a 4 foot breaker bar I'd wager...

LOOKS AWESOME!

LOL!!

What torque spec are the centerlocks designed for?
