You might find you will need to chop that to work Rav, or unbolt the strut and drop it on a jack to get the roller low enough.

ET4 here :D

It looks to be the same one, with the roller fully in it was still to high in the arch, so I chopped a piece out of the box section and welded the nut back in. Same problem on E36's too.
It is indeed, hence no tyre tread :D

Nope, not Tech 1'ing it, only rear boot spoiler and Jimmy hill front lip, and SE skirts.

Not too low either, i'm going to sell my KW set up, and go for some B12''s as I have 17" Hartges going on.

Looks like you took a bit of material off those adapters to flow them Rav. I'd of thought they'd come pretty much ready as they are made for that engine specifically..

No,
the head is matched to the Adaptor plates,
as those are the same shape as the ITB chambers. :D

And a few more,
That'll be it till next week when I get the head back.
Then i'll try the Stainless Steel 6 branch and see what needs to be done to make it fit.
