benwalsh91 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 So. I really fell out of love with this car for a bit. It just sat under a cover on my drive. I did put the car up for sale and before I took some photos I gave it a clean. when I say I gave it a clean what I really meant was... Some after photos Not going to lie. I kind of love this again. I've also decided this is making the trip to worthersee this year so best Crack on. Lots of maintenance bits and bobs to do along with getting numerous parts fitted.

pete_h Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nice wheel, where do you get it from or is it a retrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benwalsh91 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nice wheel, where do you get it from or is it a retrim? I imported them from Japan about a year ago for my old r32 skyline but they never went on the Car. They are pretty rare especespecialy in 18s. They are genuine 3 piece split work equips04. I've only seen a couple of these and the last set of saw on a similar spec but worse condition sold for £1800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_E46 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Do you actually have to remove your bumper just to get off your drive lol? Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benwalsh91 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah well more to get on the drive as it pulls off.

Naj Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Glad you're sticking to it man. Looking forward to progress! I hope you're not putting HID's in reflectors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benwalsh91 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 So. The plan with the equip... Was to put the 9s up front and see if there is room to go 10 at the rear. And to make sure the 9 fitted up front. And that it did Obviously The fitment isn't set up for these wheels so it looks pretty poor. But you can get an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Turko Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Burst rad?? They're a weak point on any BMW unfortunately. I'd be looking to do the stat and pump as well if you haven't already done so. Wheels look awesome, but you need to slam the s**t out of your car now. Black e46's look so tough stanced right.

benwalsh91 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah thermostat has been replaced and water pump recently. Think it is either rad or fan issue. And believe me. This will be very slammed. El Turko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
