    nice. unusal colour .
    Is it a bmw colour.
    I think you can run e46 track rods with the e36 when putting spacers in them.

    Yep its a BMW colour. Its Santori blue

    What difference do the e46 track rods make. I know the e46 lower arms increase the track but thats a little too involved for what i need

    Real weird colour as someone said. Think I prefer the look of it on the m-sport wheels. Look forward to seeing it dropped on coilovers.

    Needed the lower ET wheels for rack clearance, otherwise i'd of probably left it on the M3 wheels

    Hello mate looks like a really clean example - I hope you don't mind me asking but being a fellow coupe owner myself... where have you mounted/fixed the harness bolds for your harness'?

    At the moment mines boggo standard inside but when it comes to adding my bucket seat and harness it i'm aware that the OEM seatbelt clip is attached to the OEM seat and the other side of the seatbelt (door side) is held with a rail.

    If you could let me know how you've done it I'd be really grateful.

    Also, what sort of performance difference have you noticed with the super chip? is it worth the money??

    Thanks,

    John

    Hello John

    Thanks for the comments

    I made the seat rails from mild steel angle. I then welded on some tabs on both sides for the harness.

    I'll try and get some pics up to illustrate.

    Not sure on the superchip as it was fitted to the car when i got it. The car used to be owned by a friend of mine and he said he noticed a difference.

    Cheers

    Looking good dude, can't wait to see it lower. Did you decide to put a cage in in the end?
