I'm not expecting great things in terms of durability, but I do have multiple sets so these won't get much use (for comparison purposes I worked out yesterday that I've driven <100kms in two years on my Style 127's...!)

qube 3570 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 I thought it doesnt hold up well to getting new tyres mounted once it is dipped. Looks pretty decent though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will soon find out I'm not too fussed as they're already pretty munched, it's nice to have a set of wheels I really don't care much about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 I am not sure how you are lifting that whole right side of the car, but I wouldn’t do that on that rear jack spot to lift one full side - the rear jack spots are known to collapse into the chassis when you do that. Use the front jack point if you want to lift one side with the wheels off the ground like that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not complaining but it may pay to check if you're going to keep them on in case some 'too cool for school' cop tries to rip them off on the side of the road. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's quite a good question, there must be an exception of some description, perhaps if they're connected directly to the chassis? Not that that would help peds at all...

CSET 583 Report post Posted April 3, 2018 Couple more detailed shots ready for the weekend. Plan is to replace all the big aero with standard bodywork after the rally, along with swapping the seats, wheels etc for winter.

CSET 583 Report post Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) As always, there are a few changes upcoming for MTOY, especially now that Gumboot is out of the way. I've scored a replacement standard bumper thanks to @JohnM575 cheers bro. I'll be converting the bodywork, seats and trim back to my OEM parts over the next couple of weeks for LVVT cert. Also got a new set of road tyres for the Style 260M 18's, so could be a good chance to try these out. Pretty happy with how this is turning out; my goal to build an M3 'RS' of sorts in the vein of my dream Porsche road racer is getting closer. Still need to get the roll bar welded in and a few interior trims replaced (door pull straps, embroidery on seats etc) but we're getting closer. I made the added challenge of having everything easily replaceable with stock parts in my garage. For a weld-in cage this is rather difficult but for the most part we're doing well.

Should pick one of those up too from somewhere, anyone have one they don't want/need? Edit: this lack-of-standard-muffler situation may now be resolved, thanks to @HELLBM !

CSET 583 Report post Posted April 21, 2018 Part of the way there. Picked up a standard muffler from Ray at @HELLBM thank you again mate. Spent a bit of time on it y'day: Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Also have swapped bootlid, indicators & wheels, yet to put in standard seats and front bumper. Also have replacement OEM chrome grilles & side vents on the way, this car is going to be more standard than it ever has in my ownership haha.

Not to mention your pedestrian, having had her/his ankles sliced, has now gone over your windscreen, only to get sliced by that OTT wing. Good to see you've restored it to normal! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
