Mmm after buying the 330 i noticed the clutch was slipping a tad under hard acc so i went off to BMW and brought one (there re con) so after handing over some hard earned cash i got myself one and friday night was spent fitting the clutch (check out the side of the clutch where the wear is) some naughty person (pre owner was a a man but his mrs used ot drive it a lot) she has been riding the clutch :evil: :evil:

anyway drives much better now even the though the gearbox was a pig to put back in :evil: but now i can get the power down!

then on saturday I lowered black bmws black beast (nice to meet you dude) we also replaced all 4 shocks, rear top mounts and rear bump stops his shocks had def seen better days I'm sure he will fill you in, I have never seen a bmw with the fog light covers painted black and i must say they really made the front end look hard

You had a seriously busy couple of days. I did the complete opposite and lazed the whole weekend :D .

Harv's ride looks really wicked with the little touches [cool . I like the drop of the E36 (looks just right). I am deffo gonna get the pro kit fitted now.

Kav, I like the ICE. No pics of the headrests? Will be cool to see your ride in the flesh (looks seriously lush [bow ).

Kav, Well done dude, some serious about of work going on there!

I am still in a Mad rush to get where I want to be for this Sat.

Clutches on e46 wear anwyayz quick because of the SAC. That's half the problem I was having before. But having a bad driving just makes things worse I guess.

Did you do the clutch change outside your house... if so amazing!!!

lol no man the clutch was a ramp job i did it after hours my mate let me borrow his ramp the clucth on the e46 is a lot easier to do then on the e36 the top housing bolts can be bastards but lucky for me theses one were easy to get out the joys of working on a car thats only a few years old. On the e36 the climate control module leaks the water ontpo the top of the gearbox housing rusting the top 2 bolts so there bastard to undo ! this one came out like a dream but was a bastard to get back in. I also angle grinded the DSSR as it was hitting my propshaft when the short shift was in so now thats all cool to :-)

as ever digs your car is looking cool hopefully you lot well get some new trophics at HIN if not then something is def wrong

Kav, Thanks man :cool:

The new drop is crazy! You will love it when you see it. Getting a little rubbing in the rear, should have gone for 30's, not 35's!

Even though my arch is rolled.... around corners, its pissing me off, because its handle's like a dream, and really want to see where its limits are.

I will do pictures once my splitters are back on.

mmmm yeah the 35 profiles a bit big unless you went for 235/35 on the rear as well as the fronts?

awesome job the 2 cars together look the business!!!!!!

Were the rear lights OEM?

330-Singh
18-04-2005, 03:33 PM
No they are not oem LEDs they are the FK ones. They look pretty much identical though.

Got the tyres for a good price... M3 fittment you see. (255/35/19)

30's are more expensive, but looks like I might have to go that way.

Would love (255/30/19), but very rare, Toyo don't do them, so guess its going to have to be (265/30/19).

Yeah go for the 265/30 on the rear....the lower profile might make that little bit of difference to eliminate the rubbing.
