benwalsh91 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I know this photo is of an m3 but it's the same wheels as mine so just to give an idea of what it's going to look like touringking and Rich_325i 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touringking Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I myself love fitment, and getting a car to sit right. I've seen you old coupe over on bimmerforums, what happened to the style 42's?. To get them wheels on you would only need a standard roll, not cut them flat and weld. Wouldn't you need ticker adaptors, to get the wheel sitting flush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benwalsh91 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 exactly that so i am going to aim to get the big things done and out the way like the lows and the wheels etc etc and then aim for the subtle clean touches. got some good ideas in my head i look forward to getting on and getting done.

benwalsh91 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just dropped the paint code off and the centres for paint. It's going a ford colour. It's a pale grey - micastone grey. Felt it would go well with the charcoal grey suede that I am slowly trimming interior parts in.

benwalsh91 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Ball harder. Haha jokes I'm a scrawny white kid. There's no balling here. The cars gone in to get this leak and temperature issue sorted. The rad, expansion tank and all hoses seem fine but I've asked him to replace it all anyway. The blowers in the car are really bad l basically any air is non existent. It sounds like all issues point towards water pump and maybe an air lock so the pump may be getting changed if it had an issue and also the thermostat will get changed.

benwalsh91 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 The car is all fixed again now. Also whilst it is there the handbrake is shocking so he is going to look at that (think only one caliper is working and hardly working at that) also the accelerator pedal feels like a solid soggy sponge and I have no idea why so he is going to look at that too. May aswell whilst it is there. When I fit the suspension I am going to do the lower arms and bushes and other parts too. Also probably after Christmas now I will replace the discs and pads front and back and give it a full service (starting to wobble under breaking) and I can't see in the service history when the last service was so want to do it for piece of mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naj Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nice man. Hope you get all the niggly little things sorted.

benwalsh91 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah it's best to tackle them now before I start going to mad with it lol. Also does anyone know... Will facelift boot lights for the preface lift boot? I just don't know if they are differant slights on size and Fitment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafz Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 spending the cash eh....hopefully will be worth it in the end... Crap handbrake will probably be the parking shoes behind the brake disk...not expensive but worth doing if you are renewing the brakes anyway. i had the same when i had the convertible, depending on how bad it is, you can try adjusting the shoes through a hole on the hub.

benwalsh91 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's all done and back Hopefully next Saturday we will do suspension and then I can get tracking done!
