Ya I found the same. If I ran a wheel with the same offset as my previous wheels which was an offset of 7, the wheel would stick out by about 30mm, which when putting the old arms and new arms by each other looked about that much difference in hub positon. So i'll take a hole bunch of photos when I go back in. If there is anything anyone wants to see let me know and ill take some pictures. Cheers Kyu, the wheels look good sitting on should look pretty good once they've been all painted up.

Ya they are, not by a great deal but enough to make the difference, next time i get away from work for a bit im going to take some comparative photos of how the wheel sits with and without the m3 arms. Ill tidy up the car and take some more photos of the swap then.

For the rear I am using E36 Ti arms and brake setup, as it all bolts in the exact same; springs, shocks, axles, brake lines, handbrake cables and subframe mounts are all the same. It gives the car a wider track on the rear so the offset changes a bit. For the front I'm using E36 325i brakes and shocks with the original E30 top hats. The lower arms were the pricey part I'm using E36 EVO M3 parts with new castor bushes. Its all fairly straight forward now that I'm doing it, I read so many different things online it confused me a bit.

Thought i'd update with some pictures of the cars progress, the pictures are of the rear 5 stud conversion with a medium case LSD swap to help handle the M50. I haven't taken the photos of the front yet will post them up when i can take some better ones. New rotors on order for the rear used ones are a bit ugly. The wheels going on are Style 32's thanks to QUBE. The fronts are 17x8 38 offset and the rears 17x8.5 41 offset.

These are the wheels from my E30 for sale as no longer needed. After $350 have two brand new tyres one at 4mm other has shoulder wear pictures are of the best and worst tyre. I had them all painted 2k black 6 months ago, there is curbing on the wheels (wife parks by feel) it has been painted over but could probably use a clean up. I have been running 5mm spacers on the front to clear the shock.

One set sold, 4 wheels left can go as a set or separate.

Nice find, looks like a tidy car

Found some old pictures of the 24hour race at the Nurburgring in Germany a few years back thought I'd post them up. An easy way to unload our car. Pit lane just before the race start Some of the cars that didn't make it The race winner

I got mine from Hans, can't tell it apart from a genuine once it's on

I know what I'm getting for Christmas!!!

And you'll need a bleed nipple for one of the calipers, it had snapped off in the caliper. I've drilled out and removed the rest of it ready for a new one

Cool as, it's just the suspension arms, hubs, brake rotors and calipers. Should have some brake lines lying around somewhere but might want new ones and will need handbrake cables

Where can I get one of those, they look amazing!

Do you have any pictures? looking for a run about for the wife.

pm'd cheers Ray

l'll keep that in mind it should be around the 17th or so

doesn't need to be black, i just need one for a coupe with no sunroof

occasionally, ill be down that way next month

Don't suppose you have any hood linings to suit a coupe with out a sunroof?

Awesome car man! looks great

Repco has a good range of Vinyl/carpet paint. VHT is a good brand as long as you do the prep work well you'll get a good result

Id be happy to pay you for that if you have one? I'm so close to having my interior finished its the last piece I need

You have done a great job of this car, what brake booster did you use?

Its not hard to remove, just time consuming because it tucks in under all the window rubbers including the front and rear windows, so you have to take the glass out to do it properly. I took my old one out because it had a rip in it, thinking the new one was the same i had that one dyed ready to go in.

Im after a hood lining for an E30 coupe, i thought i had one but turns out it's for a sedan. If anyone wants an E30 sedan hood lining that's just been dyed black i have one available nice and cheap Also still looking for an e36 sedan rear leather seat in black,top and bottom. Hope someone can help
