Mikey's BBS RS build

[penneroyal]

PICTURES! FINALLY! (excuse the quality.. iphone)

But wait! More talk.. haha

Bolted up the wheels last night, all 4 wheels in one sitting. That's 268 nuts and bolts... :p

Used Locktite Thread Locker Gel on all threads. The gel makes it much easier to apply, and less messy.

Used my 12pt 8mm socket on the bolts and a 10mm 8pt on the nuts.

Let me tell ya, by the end of the bolt up process i was beat.. but to see the finished product was 100% worth it.

Test fit pics first:


Front is good to go.




Rears will take a little love to work. but remember, this is with the suspension fully extended, no negative camber.


Up front i have these:


so camber is easy to come by.


Finished product:



Look for some much better pictures tomorrow.

I am going to hate the stretch and camber you're going to have to run to make those work, but god DAMN do they look good.

[penneroyal]

[Ant_e30]

hmm, rear needs guard work imo

[FunfGan]

Looks like my car did... Except the poke is at the rear.

[E30SPDFRK]

Looks exactly like we told you it would lol.

[penneroyal]

Found you.

Nice find!!! Yup, that's me.

Been EXTREMLY busy with work and was pushing myself to finish the car for the Big SoCal Euro Gathering. that was my goal date to have the car somewhat together. Super late nights working on the car, a ton of hiccups on the way, girlfriend done with me..but in the end i got it finished up the day before the meet.. and i couldn't be happier with the outcome.

When i test fit the rear i was a bit nervous.. but i knew it would come together and i would make it work.

Once i got my tires on (Falken Ziex912 205 40's up front on the 9, Falken FK452 215 40's in the rear on the 10) i was motivated to do this.

It didn't take much to get the rear to work, rolled the fenders with a slight pull, barley noticeable. Now i say "work" some of you may be thinking "thats not working!! hes poking too much!! or hellaflush this or mexi poke that..!!!" blah blah blah.. this is exactly how i wanted this BBS build to fit.

Up front, i didn't touch the fender at all. it barley has an inner lip. camber plates helped slightly, but im not even close to maxed out.

Again. haters gonna hate.. there are plenty of narrow minded individuals viewing this right now, and that's cool you don't "approve". didn't build this for you.

but for those that like it, love it, approve of it.. whatever.. Enjoy! still have many plans.. build thread will be started.. i promise! And legit photo shoot coming soon!
