Thank you for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next video - Coming Soon!
When are we going to see the full picture of the build?
I think I need to smoke some weed before I watch your videos. Lol
Wow!! 3 years !! Congratulations!!
I’ve been waiting on my headers and exhaust for 6 months and I could hardly stand it. But they’re supposed to be finally delivered tomorrow 😁. Glad I found your channel. You gained a new subscriber
Love your work from Perth ✅
Hahah love this guy. Big thank u from nz
Glad you enjoyed
Congrats on getting the beast back on her feet, hope you enjoyed savouring the moment!!!!👌
Thank you
Thank you for another informative progress video, would like to see a "around the car' shot. I have ECS coil-overs .
We need to see more of her on the floor!
I know right!
Great video as always 👍 Sit in the garage with a bourbon looking at your car, you're worse than me!🤣 Does adding spacers affect the scrub radius?
Thank you and No, it shouldn't.
Happy for you mate! Bloody brilliant. What size are the stop-tec disk’s? They look great behind the wheels!
330mm - I think, let me double check.
Okay - I double checked....332mm!
Shweet. I was wondering, do you have any opinion on aftermarket wheels? I fancy some CSL reps but I'm terrified of them cracking (the roads round here are terrible.) Could be a good topic for a video?
Hi I just noticed the folding mirrors on your e46 I been trying to get a hold on a pair like the one on your e46 but here in the United States is real hard since that model didn't come with folding mirrors I was wondering if they are easy to get where you from and if you do can you point me to the right direction on how to get a set I will really appreciate also you should make a video on them cause like I said they are really rare in the USA thank you for your videos wich I really enjoy
Are you sure 10mm spacers are suitable for BMW? I had 10s on my ‘02 M3 and the hub ring on both sides COMPLETELY snapped-off. From my understanding this is a common problem for all 10mm on BMWs. From TMS and multiple forums below (FYI):
"A note about 10mm spacers: Any 10mm spacer is considered a custom fitment. The stock hubcentric lip on BMWs can stick out by as much as 11mm. This leaves a gap between the spacer and the hub which seriously compromises safety. We recommend using a larger spacer (12mm and larger do not have this issue) or check that the lip sticks out less than 10mm.”
Good luck. (I eventually went with 12mm)
Jeez, wish there was atleast 5-10 seconds to view the car on its wheels. Given the chance, what offset would you have gotten to reduce the amount of wheel spacers?
I thought spacers are illegal in Australia??
Did ilu have to cert again once this was on?
I really want to install them on my E46, but everything I'm reading says spacers are not legal in any state in Australia. It says your rego and insurance will all be void, meaning you are liable for all and any damages in any crash situation and are basically driving an unregistered car. Anyone have any info to the contrary?
How much was the full front and rear stoptech brake kit?
The front kit I got from ECS on special and $2,300 USD. The rear are standard size 325Ci Stop Tech rotors and i painted the callipers and installed SS brake lines.
Are you running an lsd as well on your e46?
On the wish list at the moment. It would have been sooner but I am going to do a clutch/single mass steel flywheel change first.
For some reason "Stop Tech" keeps coming to mine.
May I know what your tire size is?
Sure. 235/45/18 at front & 265/40/18 rear.
Should have shown better photos and videos of what the car looked like after the spacer install.
