Before you assemble them seal them with wolfs. Barrels centres and lips

I have VERY little spare time and it's been that way for a few years now.
That's why progress with my car is slow now. There is also a list of other jobs i keep going on about that need to get done!

I've got to make the time at some point.
I've got a week off work before Gaydon. Maybe then.

Normal high temp sealant would have done the job, and good job on the Loctite.
Bolts need to be torqued to 22-24 ft/lbs in a criss/cross pattern for RS's

Yes Rav its just some high temp sealant, the wolfs stuff is what Kos recommended as a LSP for the wheels and to apply it before building up.
Maxtek, which car do you have?

Recently purchased a Tech-2 325i Sport, it's in pretty good condition and I could definitely get away with leaving it as is, but I'd much rather have a prime example of a car and after going through this thread its really 'inspired' me to get it sorted.

I would use the LSP after building the wheels up.

Finally finished re-reading this entire thread over the past week and a half. Interesting to see the evolution of this car.
Shame photobucket removed most of the pictures but at least the heated mirror pictures were still there as I bought a set a couple of months ago having read about them on some American forum so now need to check if mine are real or I whether I've been had

Only just seen your post!
The pics were uploaded with image shack back in the day. If I had the time I would go through the thread and edit and update it accordingly replacing pics but spare time is rare for me!

Well well.
Nearly 5 years since an update!
Had a look back through this thread and so much of it has been decimated by the downfall of imageshack and photobucket,
Not a great deal has changed on the car. The BBS RS's were sold on before they made it to the car and little else has been done other than routine maintenance.
A rare set of 16x7.5 ET25 Ronal ACT turned up a year or so ago so they went on wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres but they have since been sold on recently to be replaced with something else, More of that next week.
