Dirtmonkey01 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) That looks great mate 👍🏼 Such an improvement on before. would be cool if you could wire up that button underneath the gear knob to do something, or maybe even have a small digital gauge in there.

Aspire_Dan Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Just been through this entire thread, loving the progress! Have you done much over the last few months on it? And how has that leather repair kit held up (conscious you did it nearly a year ago)? My Clubsport's seats are in very similar condition so wondering what the best solution is to fix them up. Also love the CSL / Ducktail - I was impartial to it before but suits your Clubsport perfectly! Hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also love the CSL / Ducktail - I was impartial to it before but suits your Clubsport perfectly! Hey, thanks for the compliments. The leather restore has held up great with no wear, I done my steering wheel on my winter car too and it's as good as the day I done it. Go onto the furniture clinics website and order the black BMW and you'll get a perfect match. Car's back on the road now since Monday after a 5 month winter break, but I've not done much to it over the winter. I bought myself a private plate, test fitted one of the Recaros, changed the oil, and changed a rear ARB drop link for the MOT. It feels good to be back out in it and I've done 300 Miles since Monday with no issues. %5BURL=http://s451.photobucket.com/user/TheHawk_bucket/media/My%20BMW%20330CI%20Clubsport/20170418_211048_zpsd4wd9eop.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/TheHawk_bucket/My%20BMW%20330CI%20Clubsport/20170418_211048_zpsd4wd9eop.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D %5BURL=http://s451.photobucket.com/user/TheHawk_bucket/media/My%20BMW%20330CI%20Clubsport/IMG_20170405_145828_876-01_zpsk8wfxu1z.jpeg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/TheHawk_bucket/My%20BMW%20330CI%20Clubsport/IMG_20170405_145828_876-01_zpsk8wfxu1z.jpeg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D Ruesta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Great, I see the problem with photobucket IMG tags I have on here has returned. Weirdly those exact same tags work on another forum. I treated myself self to a set of KW V1 coilovers, I won't post a pic as the links get corrupted on here, hopefully it'll sort itself out like last time and I'll update my posts. Also my washer pump failed so I ordered a new one, I also ordered a Meyle FSR Hedgehog as my heaters have been pulsing, I also bought forever black to stain my wing mirror surrounds once and for all. Other than that, I'm just enjoying driving it. Ruesta, avalaugh and R11CH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji83 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Keep meaning to comment on this, it's been a good read, love the OEM look. Got myself some furniture clinic stuff after your recommendation! Hopefully you can clear something up for me, I'm trying to get a Parrot Asteroid Smart and want to use it with steering wheel controls, but places that sell the UNIKA say that my car isn't compatible (also a HK business CD model). Could you tell me exactly what stuff you ordered or if you had this problem? As yours was a fairly recent install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the Asteroid smart I boght these....The head unit a Unika, a steering wheel adapter kit and a faceplate adaptor. I had to do no extra wiring, it works no issues with Harmon Kardon. The main issue with fitting it is the space as there's a lot of wires. Were I doing it again I'd buy an ISO exyension kit and route some wiring into a box in the glovebox. Also for the USB plugs for the back of the unit. Buy two angled ones and two with the smallest depth heads possible and it'll fir in. Full depth USB heads will foul on the back of the housing and you won't get the unit in flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link for those EURO tips, I want them, looks the nuts [emoji108] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Cheers for the info, I bought a good used pair of grills from eBay for £30 all clips intact. Heres a link to the guy that sells the euro tips on the M3 Cutters forum. http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142279 unfortunately as they're for an M3 you'll need to buy four and sell the other two on. I just put mine up on Instagram with a pic and got a buyer. Bonus is, remove your standard e46 tips and cut the usual notch, then put a towel over the end of these tips, then a bit of wood over the towel and hit these home with a mallet. They're a mega snug fit and will never fall off. Proper stainless steel too so give them a coating of sealant and they'll clean up like new time after time.

If you look at a front bumper picture of my car you'll see the fog covers are much bigger and have an air duct in them. I ordered new ones very similar in style that are known to fit properly. They cost me £60 inc postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Quote Quite a lot’s changed since I last updated here so let’s quickly bring it back to date. Threw spacers on it. Got my splitters, fog covers and rear diffuser carbon dipped Fitted smoked facelift rear lights and removed them the next day Finally finished off my brackets n made covers for my Recaro bases so fitted the seats. Fancied a change so got a set of M Parallels Got a set of Porsche Brembos to refurb And CSL discs to go on Big brakes will be required to compliment the Eaton M90 short snout Supercharger Bought other wheels BBS RGR got the refurbed and shod them in Michelin Pilot S4S Seller lied to me about the rear offsets and they’re going to be a challenge to get right so I bought Eibach camber arms n fitted them. I can’t stick mega camber so i’m Going to roll the rear arches as flat as they’ll go and add a little pull too That’s us roughly back up to speed now so i’ll Keep it more detailed again from now on.

Aspire_Dan Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 So many changes! Really liked those M Parallels on it. What's the situation with the carbon dippage? I'm looking to get something done about my scuffed carbon splitters, and Hamman Fog Covers are on my list but I can't afford actual carbon ones so looking at alternatives..

Hawk Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Haha, yeah Iike to mix things up. I still have all the wheels as well as the Clubsport ones so I can swap whenever I want. Re the carbon, if I were doing it again I’d buy the carbon parts from SSDD Motorsports. I paid £350 for the splitters, diffuser, fog covers. In carbon and the grills and SMG dome in satin and I wasn’t overly impressed with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) With all the hardware sourced it was time to fit the front brakes. Discs are OEM M3 CSLs and the calipers are Porsche 996 Size next to an OEM single piston And fitted. Rears are next with Porsche Brembos, M3 rear discs and 2.7 Boxster front pads.

R11CH Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Great updates. Love the brakes! Did you have to have custom brackets made for the calipers?

All my discs were 8k miles old but I had to buy new ones for this kit. I got carrier adapters from creation motorsports and I bought HEL braided lines with brembo fitment one end and BMW on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalaugh Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looking very good, what’s the cost of these set ups guys ?I paid £1000 for my used yellowspeed, front 6 pots rear 4 pots.But yours looks better than mine in my opinion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk R11CH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 £1000 is a great deal on a front aand rear mate, good score. I totted mine up and they’re due me £2040, I could’ve probably saved £500 or so, if I hadn’t went with all new everything and painted them myself, but as I’m keeping this for the long haul I decided to replace everything with new. As you know, it soon adds up. avalaugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
