CSET 583 Report post Posted August 22, 2018 Update time! Spent a bit of time the other day trimming & fitting the rear interior (carpets, seat base & panels). Starting to look normal again..! Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr I butchered the rear cards to make them fit past the cage, no other way unfortunately. Off to the trim repairer next to get this fixed up (it's a bit beyond my abilities). Boot carpet & trims fitted: Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Also the steering wheel turned up so I fitted it. Looks good, and all the buttons work a-ok! Test fit (ignore the airbag gap this is now sorted): Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr This was the problem: Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Glued the velvet side trims with ADOS contact adhesive, this has been annoying me for ages: Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr My Storm gearknob turned up too. It's so damn heavy!! Looks good in the darker finish imo, should suit the car. Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr I've also bought a whole lot of safety stuff in the past few weeks: 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 Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Also ordered these from Allports, waiting shipment later this week: Passed homologation and got my logbook: Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSET 583 Report post Posted August 26, 2018 Tegiwa m3 cup canards have arrived! This is my 3rd set of canards for this car, but only the 2nd set actually made for this bumper. You'd think I would have learnt by now... I went with plastic rather than carbon fiber like the other sets, these are quite likely going to be hidden under the AGT carbon set 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 Here's what they'll look like: And with my AGT carbon dive planes on top: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSET 583 Report post Posted September 14, 2018 I applied paint protection film to the carbon ashtray cover today. It's been annoying me how soft the clear coat is, and it swirls and attracts fingerprints super-easily. Hopefully this'll make it better.

CSET 583 Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Had a little damage to the front spoiler after the Gumboot Rally so pulled the bumper and had a go at fiberglassing the spoiler whilst on the bumper. I've fixed it before (off the bumper) but adhered it rather too well so don't want to remove & reattach if I can avoid it. Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Good chance to clean behind the bumper too, it was pretty dusty and gross. by Christian Taylor, on Flickr by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Completely unrelated we won the 'too low for gumboot' award haha Untitled by Christian Taylor, on Flickr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep the later model m3's came with this kind of carbon kevlar bumper support. Not sure if it's the same on all e46's bro? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSET 583 Report post Posted September 23, 2018 Just updating this thread, missed a few things. Safety gear pretty much sussed, almost ready for track! Just gotta pass scruitineering then we are good. Cage homolgated a-ok. Got some 3d printed collars to hold harnesses in place. Gotta sort out some trim issues on the rear cards, I had to cut them up to fit behind rollcage. Ive also sent my old oem steering wheel in to the trim shop to be restored. There was nothing too wrong with it, but I’d like to have it in new condition as a spare to go with all the rest of the oem parts. I have also picked up a spare front bumper which is finally at the panelbeaters getting painted (thanks again @JohnM575) and another oem bonnet to have a play with. Next up, another set of semis and a bit more time on the track..! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSET 583 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 More carbon fiber goodness on the way! I'm a bit fed up with how the oem panels fit behind the cage (they're not perfect). The only real fix is to remove the panels and replace them. I already have carbon fiber rear armrests which'll look quite nice on the panels. I'll also fit the oem speakers, they're quite clever how they screw together!

CSET 583 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Had a play around tonight fitting up different combinations of the steering wheel trim. Decided on the full carbon look, for now..! It's a bit overkill, but it does work with the rest of the carbon fiber.

CSET 583 Report post Posted December 2, 2018 Some better pics for an insta feature thing for the guy who made my wheel. Pretty happy with the interior as it is now.

CSET 583 Report post Posted December 4, 2018 Did a little switcharoo this arvo, removed some decals and swapped the boot lid. Running the e92 18’s for that super smooth look. Loving how little effort this thing takes to swap around, keeps someone who’s consistently getting bored like myself entertained ! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are going to look incredible once I sand down the edges, then prep & coat them in ceramic. Good Xmas project.
