Either Toby or Andy335 replicated one back in the day and there was pics of the job.
I too have never seen how Alpina done it, not sure how much benefit you get from it though, to me it sounds like a yank thing. :)

After pissing around today :mad: and not doing much this morning, I finally decided to pull the ITB's apart and start to clean and paint them.

After a few hours :roll: of freeing up bolts, cleaning faces and general spraying, I ended up from this:-

To this:- :D

The "Eagled" eyed of you will notice it's not the exact same part, but you get the idea :wink:

You gonna go tech1 too? I must admit, I like the boxy look of this and poke from the wheels.

Can you run 9js all round without any fuss?

You can run 9j all rounds with an et of 10-15.

Rears are fine, but the fronts normally need a 3mm spacer, or you can look for ET5 for the fronts.

Are the standard wheel bolts long enough with the 3mm spacers on?
