Fairly certain mines not got one. Doesn't feel any different from a normal clutch tbh. I'll have to check though!

Much better 
Thanks!
New headlights are going to be ordered shortly to cure the misting issue.

Really unsure whether to bother putting on the rear 'coilovers'. The gap between the arch and tyre is fairly similar as it is now, so I'm not sure there's really much point... Also possible awesome seat content on the way...
Hai.

Yes it's black. Unfortunately just the one, but it's so so cheap! Can always get another one at a later date anyway.

That's not like you! I used some Gtechniq C2 yesterday. Amaze!!!
I've lost a lot of interest in the E46. It's a bit boring, and nearly 12 years old. I need new paint!
What's eventually replacing it? ///M content?
I change my mind way to often but I need to get an E30 325i next, or i'll never buy one. Hopefully early next year, but I'll see what happens.
See, that sounds like ages away. But I'm guessing you mean in a couple of months? I R excite.

Looking better mate!
I'd say get the rear coilies on though! I know you don't use it on track but mis matching suspension doesn't seem a grand idea to me.
What suspension is on the back? looks a lot like how mine sits with eibach pro springs.

Bilstein dampers with eibach springs. So yeah, it'll be similar. And I'm hoping to track it eventually, but I'll be investing in some better suspension when that happens. This is pure daily spec at the moment, need to buy a shitter for my commute to work so I can start making this thing proper!

How does it get along then as a daily being that low?
I'd like mine to sit similar in the future, but don't want to be scuffing sumps!

It's fine. Only issue I've ever had was yesterday when I ran over a large rock (no chance to avoid it). It made a lot of noise, hit a load of s**t underneath but the sump was untouched. As Jord said, other stuff would hit the ground first. Main issue is the tyres coming into contact with the wings tbh. Only happens on the passenger side now I've reduced the spacer size, and that's only because I've not added enough negative camber. Speedbumps etc are a non-issue!

Cheers!
Are your wheels genuine M3 ones? I was told the sport BBS would sit fine with 15mm spacers and no rubbing, surely the sizes can't be that different?
Yeah, genuine ones.
Sizes are exactly the same so other than tyre sizes they'll fit exactly the same. (I'm on 225's on the front and 245's on the rear)

Maybe the guy I spoke to just didn't have 'teh lowz' lol.
Picked up the Recaro Today. Mounts are on their way from driftworks, can't wait to get it in!
s**t picture. Meh.

That might have been me - I've got 15mm spacers but run thinner tyres with the sport wheels.

Nah it was Rossi with the Montreal blue one (I think it's Montreal?)
I'm deffo stealing your stance though matey!
Got a GoPro for Christmas, just been having a little play - thought the exhaust would be a good test subject :approve:
Suction mount is on the way... :clown:

Yeah I've been told to fit those, I'll get round to it at some point, budget is way too tight this month though unfortunately

when you do,Ebay is the cheapest. Car looks great mate!
Thanks very much mate!

Care to elaborate on this mate? What are the benefits?

Apparently the way that the rear dampers are attached (two bolts hold the strut in from the underneath) puts lots of stress on the sheet metal that the bolts go through. Under lots of hard cornering or on a very old car the sheet metal is known to snap:
When the time came to design the Z3/E46 tops BMW changed the design and you can buy uprated ones on Ebay. The uprated ones have a plate that spreads the force more evenly - currently working with my brother on an E36 328i project and for about £14 we thought it was worth it.

That looks REALLY bad. s**t.

After seeing those pics I'd be a fool not to, thanks for sharing!
JoeyD did you have any problems with fitting the JOM's to a 'sport? They say they aren't compatible with "MTEC" But not sure if that's M3 or 'sports.
Nope, they went straight on. AFAIK they'll fit any E36 including the M3. Perhaps not the Evo, but I'm not sure on that. But yeah went on absolutely fine for me!
