    Just a light fender roll in the rear so that I coud run the rear suspension really low. And because the R888 are/run soo much larger than other brands in the same size. The 255/40 on the front has 10" of tread on the ground!
    I had the front wheels widened 1.5 inches and added two inches to the rears. Now the rims are 9 x 17 and 11 x 17
    Rear spacing is the key.

    Bought her a front end alignment after replacing the steering rack and a passenger front reman brake caliper.

    3/30/17: Installed the passenger front reman brake caliper plus a brake bleed, been almost 2 years. All better now.

    Wow that is really nice. I'd love to see some top down pictures of it as well. Best of luck with it! Any chance you can say how much it cost?

    Do you have the part numbers or what brand those are? Just the fronts. I have to use E36 M3 rears.

    I'm in the middle of the same swap on my Z3 coupe (not a M)

    Vera (early production '96) got a new cooling system: radiator, hoses, water pump, thermostat, belts, fan, fan clutch. She's going on a 2000 mile road trip in a few weeks and this is about the only thing not done, short of a clutch or other major mechanicals. 2000 miles, 3 days, one side of the US to the other. Wish us luck!

    Top should be here Tuesday in the afternoon (calling for rain). Wednesday is looking good all day though.


    Speaking of the top: I found a very good write up with many pictures below.

    Why do so many people use an extractor for oil? Because the cR is pretty low / jacking up is a pain?

    I've been using that one for about a year now. Love it!

    Amount of oil removed is within an ounce or two of draining, and it's much easier without a lift to take 10 minutes and change the oil. Also very handy for easy tranny and diff fluid swaps, and I've even used it to suction out old brake fluid from the reservoir when changing over to another brand. Very handy tool to have in the garage.

    With the oil filter mounted on top you don't need to go under the car for an oil & filter change, big plus when I have 4 BMWs to maintain. It does pull up just about all the oil as stated below, I have checked after an extraction. Plus when you get the Brake Bleed Kit taking care of the brake fluid is so easy, vacuum through bleed nipple vs. pressure push from reservoir. I use it on my 1990 automatic with a dip stick for tranny fluid also, measured amount out & measured amount in very easy.

    Tried a little repair on the bumper

    New front bumper cost a little bit so I tried my hand at some body work. I still need a little refinement but not too bad.front end b4.jpgfront 3.jpgFront 02.jpgFront 1.jpg
