Nice work and its looks really good :)

I'm going to steal your idea of using the booster bracket from e32 :D

It makes things a hell of a lot easier! You'll have to massage that mount a little to get it to fit correctly with the inner fender contour.

EDIT: Also meant to add my body guy said the inner fender alone wasn't enough structure to endure repeated braking force applied to it. I had plans to beef up the mount area and also brace it against the core support but have since moved to building a boosterless set-up.

Updates should be coming soon fellas. I'm hoping the body work will be done by then end of the month. HUGE pic post will follow.

I think those are AKG FCabs.

Yes AKG. I love their stuff. I'm hoping to get the DTM shifter before the special ends. We'll see.

this thread gives me a hard-on.

any updates on the style 144 setup? i'm also interested in finding/ using newer e60/ e92 wheels on my 91 e30 vert. 1 question for you, i have the 4x100 to 5x120 adapters that "rob" makes and sells on the forum, do you think they would mount up and be flush like yours in the pic? i think the adapters are 20mm thick?... i'm ok with a little poke not mexipoke tho... any suggestions would be great!

thanks,

They originally were going to work with the 215/40/17's I had BUT I had to roll the hell out of the rear fenders to do so. I didn't want to compromise the factory undercoat and all that in the fender lip so I put the style 144's up for sale. Well when I finally sold them and went to gather them to box and ship I found two were missing. They just vanished. I refunded the kind and understanding buyer and just figured some kids in the neighborhood stole them to brag to their freinds or something. Never had problem with theft ever until then.

The et20 E60 wheels fit perfectly flush to the rear fender lips with the 318ti stuff in the rear. I'm not sure where you would end up with the factory e30 4 lug stuff, spacers, then et 20 wheels. I used to run 16x7.5 et35 ATS's with 20mm spacers and they were about 5-10mm from the fender lip in the rear.

Uh oh...





Some extra tweaking will be required in the front end department. Apparently my car was hit on the left a long time ago and it pushed the front end over to the right about 15mm. This translates into the hood not fitting. At all. More updates soon.
