03.5 LSB on LSB 6MT Restoration / Progress Journal

[SGM330]

I got the floor mats sometimes last year during the summer, when they were in stock and this crazy back order wasn't happening.

I've been happy with the Eisenmann, its the perfect OEM+ exhaust to me. It's a mix of deep and rasp.

Updates!

Knocked out some more maintenance and squeezed in a mod or two. Forgot to take pictures of some work.

As mentioned I completed the following:

- ACL rod bearings with OEM rod bolts and new gaskets.
- New engine and transmission mounts.
- All new pulleys and replaced both belts.
- Thermostat, aux fan switch and auxiliary fan.
- Brembo big brakes front and rear, new rotors, pads and lines.
- Personalized plate.
- Brand new Michelin P4S all around.
- Stud conversion.
- Dinan carpets since OEM is discontinued and I don't want to wear them out.









Next year plans - continue to go over the car and replace worn out parts.

I'm going to also rebuilt my wheels, I have to run a spacer up front to clear the caliper and the offset has become a little too low and aggressive, which in turn forces me to run more negative camber than I'd like. I'll widen the rear lips, and shorten the front lips with a larger barrel.

It never ends!

-Vanos overhaul from Beisan and valve adjustment
- Tie rod ends

-Thermostat
-Aux fan

I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting.

Thanks!

Do you see them now? They're working for me and I tried on multiple devices.

I ended up selling the HRE's and purchasing some staggered TE37 in 18x9.5 ET22 & 18x10.5 ET20 wrapped in 255/35/18 & 275/35/18 Michelin P4S. Absolutely love how it drives on the 18's but will be refinishing my ACS and keeping them as my 'show' set up.

Also drove down to my first 46M Meet down in Alpine, New Jersey. Had a blast!

Picked up


Tires mounted


Installed and dialed in!

Wow, the TE37's in that color look great on LSB. Great build man, well done. I'm following suit, trying to completed by this summer. I'm at the front end respray stage, but I'm also adding my Vorsteiner CSL diffuser, Karb CSL trunk, Euro front bumper and CSL front lip. Car looks absolutely fantastic man, enjoy it in good health.

Thanks! It was nice meeting you. I remember you told me you used to live in Toronto too. I plan on going back to 46M again this year. Hope to see you there!

Thank you! You're adding some quality parts there! Looking forward to seeing it in your build thread. I also added a euro bumper, it's so clean! The car is stored for winter so once I pull it out, I'll take pics and include them here.

I have a lot of pending parts but have yet to install them! It never ends

Much respect on such clean build! People dont realize the dedication for full quality resprays. Amazing results ! Are TE's 9.5's?
