A few more: :)

So the weekend after having the car MOT'd I had the alignment done at a local place. 3deg front camber, 2.5 deg rear camber, zero front toe and a tiny bit of rear toe in. The numbers aren't crucial, it was just important to get the car even left to right and driving straight to make further...

Which bit specifically? Anything mechanically I'm all self taught, welding the same etc. E36 in particular is some reading, some pointers from others, but mainly just getting stuck in and getting on with it. I work on agricultural stuff for a living so cars certainly aren't my day job.

So the last I posted, I was waiting on some brake lines to arrive from Earls. They took a bit longer than expected, partially due to them being custom made to my length, but mainly because they were out of stock of the male swivel convex fittings that I needed. They finally arrived on Wednesday...

I've got some if needed.

Did a bit more on the exhaust today. I'd previously cut the tips off and ordered some 2.5" Stainless to put in their place. Cut 2 bits to length, including a bit of standard BMW offset Welded them on Painted the insides matt black And decided to fit it back on the car. It will make...

More straight line stability for one, allowing me to otherwise set the car for a fairly aggressive turn in whilst keeping that stability. Another benefit is greater camber change when cornering. A larger positive castor angle will allow the outside wheel to gain negative camber in a turn whilst...

£43 a tyre when I bought from Camskill, it was rude not to give them a go at that money and they work just fine. Good buy.

Cheers. You saw it in LM I assume? I'm a bit torn what to do with it when this is up and running. We might speak a little bit here and there, ha. Cheers. I dare say we'd conquer most things between us! 205/50/16 on that set. The dunlops are 225/45 which I'm HOPING will fit with the offset...

It's not even close to rivalling in terms of thread detail. On track though.... we'll see! :D

Hopefully it'll behave itself. I've been pretty thorough and replaced pretty much everything throughout so fingers crossed. Need to get it setup/aligned before then too when Ive put a few miles on it. Long time no speak Steve, hope you're well. Thanks! Ha, thanks.

And just a few tarty instagram ones I missed Some sticky dunlops for another set of the same 16x8 wheels Flo-flex front ARB droplink bushes http://instagram.com/chriswhiteley

ASC gets rid of the 2nd throttle body for your traction control (assuming you have it, earlier models dont). Viscous fan delete removes some load from the auxillary circuit, in theory freeing up a bit of power. All my A/C related bits are gone too. Just need to wire an electric fan in to...

Forgot to take a load of photos, so you'll have to excuse the skipped bits. Finished flaring brake lines from the (M3) master cylinder to the in car valve, and out the valve to a Tee mounted under the boot floor. So put the interior back together. Added a little volt metre. Got hold of some...
