Is that aired out in the front?

[bmwandhonda]

Yeah, but i haven't adjusted the front struts yet. They need to go down a lot further. I left them way too high befor i initially installed them. I left 180mm of thread, when i should have left 125mm befor install. Easy enough to adjust though.

This is not the finished product.

Fixed and working:

That Radiator Cover is Trick! Did you make it?

Thanks mate, yeah just made it out of some alloy plate. was pretty easy really. It has a small piece of angle bracket with some rubber underneath that slots into the top of the radiator to hold it into place.

My original mounting solution for the rear height sensors was a bust... Was no where near enough room in the guard between the tire. Ended up having to go underneath the car which was fun.

Made a small angle bracket that fixed under the swaybar endlink bolt and had to drill a hole for an M6 nut+bolt in the metal where the Brake line mounts to the rear control arm. Was awkward but worked.




Finally got the car back on the ground and out into some natural light for the first time in about 2 months...

This is completely aired out. At this height there is 10mm clearance from the sump guard to the ground, at max height it has 110mm clearance. So 100mm of total travel up front.

I might bag my Touring also.

I read think i read somewhere that it is technically illegal to not bag a touring these days.

This is too perfect.

Thanks mate :)
