Coming along nicely man good work , looks sweet with the coilovers and spacers ! :cool:

Where ya pick up the spacers and what kinda dibs , if ya dont mind me asking ? need to invest shortly .

Thanks bud! THere was a group buy on bmw driver, i think it was mcg autostyling, €100 for the four of them, twas damn cheap!

I think the back needs to come down more, might just put in some cut springs and see how they work out.

Kool build lad. Nice colour too. :) Still running standard diff and clutch??

Dam cheap is right ! hard too beat :cool:

Aye had same prob with the back of mine , when ever their all stripped out they sit a good bit higher . When i had the std springs in it sat like a range rover :D

Mine settled a good bit after a few events and im happy enough with how it sits now .

You get the wee adjuster that sits into the lowering spring ?
I didnt bother fitting mine , just put the springs in on their own .

Thanks chuck! Yeah its a 325 or 328 diff I reckon going by the ratio and its welded, suits me. Clutch is standard aswel, when I get some money I'll get something better, I miss the ORC I had in the last car some serious clutch!

No I ordered the cheapest FK coils when they were on offer and it just looks like theres no adjusters for the back, well there was none in the box. Be grand adjuster will only make it higher and I couldn't be arsed emailing a load of gerrys for them to be sent out anyway. In time il get stiffer ones but i just want to get it a bit sorted and get some use out of it for the moment! :cool:

Should have more pics up during the week of the hydro mounted, its in under the dash and angled towards me, I think I should have plated the tunnel all the same though, id say it will flex a lot.

Naw no call for them anyway , mine are laying on da shelf .

Done the same i got a set of ebay specials , will do the job to the till the sponsers start rolling in :D

Hydro in mine is just welded to the tunnel on the otherside of the gearstick and no flex out of it their anyway , not plated either . Should be all good .

I wanted a straight through exhaust for this seeing as it wasn't going on the road anymore, liamcrowley on here agreed to make one up and for very handy money too, sound lad to deal with! The birdshit on the silencer is mine, I didnt take pics of his welding, put mine to shame!

I put the straight through on and the neighbour was in the next day giving out when I was testing the handbrake so I chucked a couple of the boxes from the old exhaust into it. Never knew ye could get rods for welding stainless with the stick welder, don't want to know either anymore with the price of them :rolleyes:
