    I agree those wheels look great. A nice roll/pull on the front and rear, and your car is going to look fucking awesome.

    Great work!

      I was drinking alot of coors light when I installed the rear braided lines and ending up putting the front lines on the rear. Had to take the rear subframe back out but cleaned a few things up in the process. Updates with a real digi cam should come tomorrow. Borrowing a fender roller from a friend and going to see where I can get with that. Ground control kit is being ordered monday as well as tires. I am giving my "fabricator" friend my z4 3.0 shift lever for the weekend to cut the rubberized section out of it, replace it with a longer piece of aluminum and bend it back and to the left so it sits closer to the steering wheel. Not ratfink long or anything, just enough so its not such a reach when I shift. Akg delrin shift carrier bushings will go back in place of the rubber doughnut thing. Akg billet/ poly rear shock mounts are also going in this weekend with billy sports.

      Slow thread is still slow.

        Update! Sorta...

        Installed a C02 tank, lines and tap in the shop fridge so not much progress has been made lately. Mounted some e60 style 134 with a set of Hankook R comps I had laying around. Clear the M3 brakes and I won't need to roll the fenders.





        Still need to fix:

        Heater core o-rings
        Paint/ mount is lip
        Alignment
        Re-route exhaust

            Too much rolling required to fit them, archie bought the TSW's I had for his E30 M3 and two of the style 144's were stolen from my shop unfortunately.

            Got a set of M contours coming saturday that I'm going to rattle can black and throw on for street use.

                It sucked big time. Ended up selling them over Halloween weekend but when I went to box them up realized someone had jacked two of them from the shop. Shit happens but this really chapped my ass. Now I have two hard to find wheels and they are NLA from the dealer so I can't just buy two more to complete my set. FFUUUUUUUUU

                  Started the car for the first time in three months only to back it in facing the opposite direction and pull the engine and trans out. I have what can only be described as a garden of M5x/S5x engines in the garage right now. Its a mess. I'll post pics soon. Car is torn down for paint in the next two weeks.

                      Toss me an S50 if you've got so many. Sucks you didn't run those other wheels, they looked awesome on there!

                        Finally got around to working on the car again. I had been doing some serious thinking about whether to build my S52, boost the NV M50 that was already in there or just get the car painted and enjoy the mostly stock NVM50 for a while. I started cleaning the engine bay and de-trimming the car for paint then got a little carried away and all this happened:

                        That dent is what pushed me over the edge. I was cleaning my garage and knocked a large bookshelf speaker onto my head, then into the fender leaving a nasty dent and a concussion to deal with. I had had enough.



                        Goodbye boring M50, it was nice but meh. Boring.



                        2 hours later



                        Time to clean this dirty engine bay.





                        S52 exploded on my workbench, I'm selling off all of my S52 stuff... you'll see in a second where my M50 is headed.





                        Aaaaannnndddd no more front end.



                        No more ABS



                        Old core support damage from a very light collision years ago.



                        Pile of 24v stuff.



                        Modded strut towers for GC camber plate clearance.

                          MMM... Homebrew five lug coilovers. I love shiny new suspension stuff.

                            Am I crazy or does that engine only have 5 cylinders?

                                Turner brass caliper bushings, excellent mod for the money.
