    Follow Chelsea in Dubai!




    And lots of shots fired in these videos, haha:





    ^That's the V10 insane sounding E46 that made the rounds on Facebook/Instagram last week. Running an SLR kit by the way

    Luke won Rd.2 King of Nations with the car and is heading to Asia for next round. Car built by Kinetechnik Motorsports of Abu Dhabi


    We will be in Japan in about a month helping get some BMW's sorted at Ebisu Circuit since Andy says they are literally running out of Nissans over there and Chelsea is super stoked to flog an E36 around Ebisu with the help of Power Vehicles!

    Check out the rest of the fun videos with Aaron and Chelsea on both ChelseaDenofaMotorsports and LoneStarDrift:

    Quick plug: We've extended our January sale through February so contact us & we'll get you awesome parts for an awesome price! Also shipping our first new budget kits in roughly 2 weeks, so you can pre-order those. ($750) The website and Facebook will be updated with more details.

    Always wanting to hear what you guys would like us to build also, so throw out some ideas too!

    Those videos have been great, and there is a lot of love for your products in them. I hope you guys have your production capacity wound up, you could have a big year.

    How funny is it when BMWs are the cheap crappy car to thrash around in when the highly sought after and valuable old nissans are too precious to get your hands on any more... Lol

    Is that strut top thingy ready yet? I think I have too much caster on top of way too much camber. The car likes to crab walk at mid angle and snap at that spot. I'm looking for something to lower caster/camber but also be transferable to my E46 from my E30 once that happens.

    Follow Chelsea in Dubai!

    Is this a totally hilarious autocorrect or some secret code speak ?

    We had a CNC go down and set us back a few days, as well as juggling a dozen new projects here, but here's a quick picture:

    That's part of the budget kit for extending your E30/E36 arms. I will ship with the spherical bearing and housing already welded in.

    Do you have any thoughts on potentially making some spherical bearing based "bushings" for the rear trailing arms? I'd like to buy those from you instead of bimmerworld if possible when I decide it's time for some more decent parts on my crappy car..

    If you have access to a lathe it wouldn't be too hard. But yea, a lower cost version of that would be nice.

    +1 on spherical trailing arm bushings.
    Another +1 if you can beat the competitions prices too.

    Agreed. After watching Chelsea's video where he installed the Syncro Design Works LCA Bushings (https://www.harrisonmotorsports.com/...-e46.html#null), I really wanted to get some. But I really can't swallow the price. Evidently they can make a big difference, though.

    Even worse is the fact that those bearings cost about $30CDN each...

    Are they an off the shelf part? ie. can I go on McMaster Carr or something and order "sealed spherical bearing #11" and get them??

    Technically, this isn't a very difficult part to make if you have a lathe. McMaster Carr sells the bearing. You lathe out the bushing container (the bimmer world one is a 2 piece that bolts together). Press in the bearing. Sell for profit?

    That's what I'll be working on once I drop my rear end down in the next couple weeks...
