Newman's 1986 BMW 326rb build thread.

Gold wheels on a bmw? They almost lynched me…

It’s ok, I bought some, they’re sitting at home.

If anyone needs rear shock bolts i have 8 extra. :fail:

I also bought used axles. 4 for 100 shipped, can’t go wrong…

I am so glad that the tires aren’t stretched. I hate wasted rim width.

Also :tup: the car is a roller!!

I also picked up some 90mm wheel studs because the bolts were driving me CRAZY.

haha, well, it’s still on jackstands, there are only 2 wheels on the car. Waiting for my brakes and wheel studs before i put it on the ground.

As if they like you now or something…

Bolts are not that bad…

Yes they are.

They can wear out the expensive hubs, changing wheels may require changing bolts, not guaranteed full engagement, etc.

lug bolts suck a fat nut.

good choice, ditching them

Not to mention trying to align a $$ wheel with a spacer under it.

Looks good, should ride nice since they are not rubberband tires.

I hate rubberbands. I thought my 255/35 on my sti were way too thin.

Those are some meaty tires. I like it.

That’s what I plan on putting on the rear of the MR2. Haha.

E30 wheel studs are terrible, good call on getting rid of them.

Everything seems to be coming along.

FUCK.

Pulled the head off, motor needs pistons and to be bored. GODDAMNIT.

wtf? send it back to innovative? lol

Lol, they didn’t do anything to the motor. LOL.

i’m so pissed.

wtf mang… should have checked that a while ago

I know. It’s a good thing I didn’t, though. Because I probably would have scrapped the project.

they can do work this time though!
