BatMansWilly 74 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 They're definitely worth the money. Which swaybars are you using? Still on stock M-Sport sway bars. Next things on my "Buy list" Swaybars, LSD, Front camber adjustable top hats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BatMansWilly 74 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Some how find enough time in my day for a wheel alignment! At MAYNE AUTOMOTIVE down the road from my work. Nice guys seemed to know there stuff but it did take them about 10mins to get the car on the alignment machine because of how low it is. "Not that low ;)". As its not the last time i will be dropping the rear on the car I didn't see the point in going to a really good place. Will when i'm 100% done with the suspension. All in all happy with the alignment and happy i'm driving the car again!!! :) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BatMansWilly 74 Report post Posted July 23, 2016 BIG UPDATE! 23.07.16 Ok a lot has happened since I last updated, Will do my best to cover it all. 1:Had the rear trailing arms reinforcements welded in along with a few little jobs by SJ @ Apex Automotive Everything turned out well. The original plan was to get him to do the sub-frame reinforcements as well but due to unforeseen circumstances this did not work out. Pics of the trailing arms being welded. 2: As I am heading down to EuroHaus track day down in Taupo on august the 13th I needed/wanted to have my sub-frame reinforcements done by then as well. Not knowing when SJ was going to be able to do the sub-frame a friend of mine VERY kindly offed to do the welding for me which we have just finished tonight(23.07.16) Over all went really well. As pics will show we just put wet towels over the gas tank to stop any chance of blowing up myself along with my mates and my house. Worked out well only small problem was getting to the back side of the plates as the gas tank was still in but got there in the end. Rest of it was pretty straight forward just took out rear sub-frame and arms along with the back box , Rear seats and the carpet inside the car to stop any change of getting it on fire. Am VERY happy with the out come! 3 Had a small rocker cover leak and as i was taking the top off decided to repaint the cover in Heatproof black paint witches looks quite good! 4 Finally after waiting and debating for months whether to go for 18s 17s staggered or squared and so on found a set of wheels I am very happy with they are 17x8.5' ET30 all round.Running brand new RE003's Front 225/45/17 Rear 245/40/17 Overall very happy with fitment and looks. And already know Im going to love the RE003's as I have them on the e46. Think this bring us upto date with the car. Next on the To-do list is. LSD New clutch Put on the M3 Evo front brakes I have. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BatMansWilly 74 Report post Posted August 22, 2016 Ok UPDATE time. So after cooking my clutch down at eurohaus a few weekends back I am taking the car off the road for yet another overhaul. This time I will be replacing the clutch and flywheel along with the gearbox as im taking it out anyway to get to the clutch and I don't think that the gettrag 220 will handle the repower I have planned. Also planning to get new coilovers as my koni yellows have come to the end of their life . When it rains it pours! Anyway as for clutch and gearbox I have picked up a ZF 5 speed box and a stage 4 competition clutch kit w/ lighten flywheel. As for coils I’m unsure of what Brand/Setup to get. I will be tracking the car a fair bit but it’s still my daily. Any input on coils and setups would be good. Will be starting the gearbox and clutch this weekend until then here are some pics 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorburn 120 Report post Posted August 22, 2016 That's a lot of clutch. If your looking for a turbo manifold to go with it I could make a second 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
