Met up with a friend in his M3 earlier in the week. With the exception of adjustable camber arms front and rear, no more updates have materialised. California in two and a bit weeks, so the car's on hold.
The only problem I am getting at the moment with my car is that the front upper Megan arms interfere with a section of the inner arch. Anyone else had this problem with Megan arms? I don't believe it is the normal problem of the car being too low and the arms hitting the chassis. The Megan arms have a large top section for the camber adjustment. I've had a little search but not found much on the subject. Thanks.
looking good. haven't seen you update in awhile...
Hey Tony. Yeah it's been a bit slow here for the car. Just got a new dog and I'm off to California next week so the car has taken a back seat for a little while.
The next step is to go manual and it's a big and expensive step, but I'll document everything.
Any updates? I started getting worried as the pages were coming to an end but the dates were still last year.
Hey dude. Apologies for the slow reply. Yes there are a few updates on the way. Had a lot going on here at home, so haven't got round to updating this thread but things have been happening. I will get it done today
So I've been away from this forum for a while but a lot has been going on in life in general and the GS has been getting work done to it at the same time.
So I'll post a load of pictures but I managed to pick up some Toyota wind deflectors, changed the colour of my grill and gave the car a good machine polish....
I also picked up an air ride set up and a bumper with a TTE lip already mounted....
The bumper is currently at my mates garage getting worked on. All holes filled including headlight washer jet holes....
I've also been busy on the air ride set up and below is a rough story line in pictures, but I decided to use the spare wheel well (don't run with a spare) for the install to sit, with a perspex viewing panel.
Took me over a week to do right, but happy with how it came out as this is not something I'd attempted before.
MDF sheet to sit in place of old trunk floor (stronger and more ridgid)....
The main boxed area of the install where the tank, compressor and manifold will sit....
I decided to wrap the tank rather than paint....
After carpeting the boxed area....
Everything in place waiting for the rest of the install to be completed....
This week the bags are going on and I'll update that as soon as I can and be a little more detailed with my images.
Air ride went on over the last two days, a hard two days getting it exactly where I wanted it.
I messed up with the ride height on the fronts so I need to adjust those tomorrow so that they hit the same height as the rears 'all up'....
'Aired out' I'm getting the standard upper ball joints resting on the arch, but once I have the TTE lip on with lip extension, I have a feeling this height will be perfect. I know some push for the laying frame look, but as it currently sits, the exhaust is a couple of mm off the floor anyway, so I wouldn't want to push it much lower....
How it started and where the lines went inside the vehicle....
I didn't take many photos of the install but that's just me, once I start a job I keep going without stopping if I can help it. The interior isn't in the car yet if people want images?
