Spirits e46 330 m-sport coupe project-unleash the beast

[Spirit]

Still needs work and think drivers side is hitting a bolt from bumper bracket on load plus both sides rub slightly so arches I need to pull. Would be easier on 215 40 18 instead but hey money don't grow on trees.
Specs on rear I have

9j et22 plus 13 mm spacers added on top 225 40 18 std camber arm maxed out
I won't be beaten I will make em fit right and lower it again at the back.

This is looking great. Can't wait to see it with the new wheels on.

Cheers buddy in fact here it goes..

Settled a good inch since the pics but it's close to where I want to be. Currently specs are
18 inch e38 style 32s
Et20 front 8j 215 40 18
Et22 rears 9j 225 40 18

Gonna raise the rear and push 15mm spacers out back and sort the rubbing on full lock atm. Might run camber arms and plates in the future. No silly stretch tyres on this build just low and squatted as I'm more into drivable and handling now than silly low pic looks.










Reason for not running 15mm spacers out back is my arch roller has been pinched so tried to sort it with magazine mod... Failed lol.. Anyway next pics it should be dialed in better.

It's in. Completely a blood sweat and tears job Inc cut hands. Power on but I'm ocd in fitting so I'm gonna cut the Aircon box slightly so it sits more flush as I can't fit it in the cage yet. Front speakers are hooked up but the stereo basically has shown how shit oem speakers are and I will replace them soon. Rears I'm still trying to find a way to mount a 6.5 pioneer oem behind the rear grills so that needs finishing. Interior is totally shambolic atm just busy busy busy with work so basically it's in bits. Sound already so much nicer and I have a remote bass controller and Bluetooth mic still to fit.
Rest of the car.... Mmm lets say it's a project lol

[Spirit]

Install nearly done. Wheels and colour change next...

[Spirit]

First clean in three months came up OK. So much to do hopefully will be presentable by Santa pod.

Glad you've got yer sen back in gear mate. Car looks great on the new coils. How are they?

I'm looking at what to get for my E90 daily, and am a bit nervous about FK's?

Cheers buddy getting there slowly but surely. My ta technix are OK but the tuning art on my loon were a nicer ride. Tbh I wish I bought bc coilovers now.
