Wishno's winter beater project thread(+misc vert action)

[Matt-B]

where did you find a euro bumper? tires and wheels dont look all that bad... :D

[tg318is]

Looking awesome mate!

[Wishno87]

Ya I may need to dial in some camber up front for extra clearence when I go lower.

[White325is]

yeah them tires dont stretch that good at all. Ive had them on my borbets and they suck. Just roll the shit out of your fenders and slam it on down. :)

[Wishno87]

New tires are on. Not as much stretch as I expected.

Front euro bumper on the way

[Wishno87]

your four door looks sick man!
i love the euro bumper.
btw, maybe down the line you should consider a front valence, like a mt1 or alpina rep.

Its possible I may do a full Mtech 1 kit for this car down the line. Looking through Vlads red eta thread convinced me so :mrgreen: Its nice not having something really low hanging off the front of my car though. I hope to have my Mtech 1 side skirts on in a month or two though.

Wheels look sick man

[Wishno87]

Removed the headers and exhaust from the swap project last night.



Bought some brand new 215/40s for the 16X9s so Im back on the steelies until they arrive.


Major PITA to clean.


Dads swapping his 3.73 open for a 3.25 LSD today.

[ck_taft325is]

I thought the ET20 was the staggered fronts and the 16x9's all around where ET15?

Man, I suck at wheels.

[Wishno87]

Thats interesting. I agree et20 would certainly make it easier to adjust offsets and fit. I was surprised to find that the wheels clear the front brake caliper with no spacers though.

[bmw325csi]

They come in either et 10 or et 20. Mine are et 20 and the fit almost flush in the rear, et 17 would be perfect. My fronts were also et20 but they are 7.5 so I added a 15mm spacer.

[Wishno87]

They come in different offsets? I thought all the 16X9 were et10?

I think once the car is on coils it wont look as ridiculous as it does right now. I wont put any more spacers in the front but if I can get the rears to be even with the fronts I will be satisfied.

[bmw325csi]

i think its better to run the et20 16X9's from the rear up front with a 3mm spacer to clear the strut, wont have as much poke. The rear can use the poke, Im running a 15mm spacer on mine for a final offset of 5

the car looks sick man! came a long ways.
