Not yet Dan.
Have it booked in for an mot on Saturday so it should be road legal the week after that.
Still have to figure out the issue with the revs but thats about it.

Its because the drive is on a slope and angle.

You'll manage it Peter.
Dan now does all the bits that are apita for a good price so it doesnt have to be as hard a swap as it used to be .

[rancido64]

Looks well, congrats on getting her all finished and good luck with the MOT

[pac1982]

does it have IX running gear?

[shedrool83]

does it have IX running gear?

What makes you think that ,the ride hieght?

[vanos]

Stella job, engine bay got the factory look, very cool

[shedrool83]

H&R 60/40 cupkit is on .Also fitted e46 rear topmounts,z3 plates and new front mounts.





The cupkit was for a coupe and tbh the back is sitting to low for my liking.I'm thinking of sticking the kyb springs back on until i can find proper touring H&R one.

So if anyone has a set of H&R -40 touring springs and needing coupe ones give me a shout

[nickso]

thought this might happen jake. can you not put the thicker rubber stops in with the springs? ok it's only a few mil but it might be all you need.

[shedrool83]

Reckon its dropped about 55mm rather than 40 so i'm look to go back up about 15mm.
I'll stick the kyb's back on as i'm sure they are slightly shorter than standard so might look ok.
I'll have to put them on anyway as there is no way the guy will get the tracking gear on the rear wheel the way it is the now.

I like this.....

[spook]

Looking good Sheds

[MurphyE30]

very nice

[shedrool83]

Thanks for the comments guys.

[THEHOOD]

Very very nice. Wish my touring looked half as good as yours.

[shedrool83]

Swapped the sparco strut brace onto the red m30 and fitted the rpm one on this as i didnt like the red in the engine bay.





Also fitted smoked headlights and hid's



Just need an i.s lip spoiler to finish of the styling now.

[ImysE30]

Very nice touring, looks well with the blacked out front

[cbouchez]

Nice!

I'm just about ready to replaced suspension components on my touring.

I want to make sure the front and rear is level do you know the part number for springs and shocks designed for Tourings? H&R?

[shedrool83]

Not looked into it yet but i'm planning on it today.
If i find the right ones i'll let you know.

[shedrool83]

Those are -30

[shedrool83]

Changed the rear springs again .Think i'm happy now with the drop at the rear.




Stuck on a scorpion Le-Mans back box

[Jozi]

Looking good with them springs. How is the sump for clearance with normal day to day driving?

[shedrool83]

It is bad .I have only went over one speed hump and if was fine,it wasnt a big ones tho.

I am going to get a sump guard just havent decided if i'll make one or get the rpm one yet.
