Spirits e46 330 m-sport coupe project-unleash the beast
Excellent! I was reading the thread thinking will he ever tucking get some wheels!! Haha
Lol cheers buddy. It's always been about wheel choice and budget so these popped up and thought classic oem wheels let's try them. Should be on next week hopefully
Three coats of Matt black plastidip
Three coats of plastidip silver metallic flake
Three coats of colours silver glitter paint from b@q.clear gloss lacquer still to go.
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.
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.
Recently started again on the install so me being Me decided I don't do easy and went 6x9 time in the rear deck. Cue loads of cut metal and cut hands and a few scratched heads but some baffled templates got made and off we went. Amazing rear fill now and the fronts next to do.
New sideskirts on after a mishap with my passenger side one. Went se type as I had them for a great price and tbh fancied a change from msport ones plus they were already painted in titan silver metallic. New dust caps as well.
Well it's fixed and hunter alignment done. Absolutely amazing transformation in how it drives and corners like a different car. so happy with it as I've pretty much given up on it ever making me happy but I think it's what I needed to appreciate it more. Can't thank the guys at Reeve Motor SportPerformance enough for sorting it and next stop.... Mot
Been a while since ive updated this so here goes..Mot went well and recently has had a hunter alignment which has dramatically improved the cars handling.lost the yellow main beams and fitted new led sidelights and us indicator mod done.
Style 32s are now white and 13 mm spacers added up front and 15 mm lower at the front and 10mm rear is lower.front camber is neg 2.5 and rear set at neg 3.5.future plans include more lows and maybe 9 j fronts and complete car color change
took some pics straight after i finished the rims and proper pics after its respray will come.Been super busy recently work wise and my health was suffering but im all good now and hopefully the build will step up a gear
