Night shot cuz why not...this was before the new arms
NIGHT SHOT by minthinrich, on Flickr
Pulled the arms...well this is what I found. All this damn time I could have had something that drove 10x better. Nothing like being thick headed and not just ordering parts. I should have went E46 arms but I can do that over winter. Both sides were this bad.

In non stance, race related things. I bought a suit, and gloves. Tried a few on and I am very happy with my choice for the price I paid. I would have loved to get the next step up...but it was expensive. I still need a helmet and shoes but other than that I am good to go. Car needs a few things as well but nothing major at all.
It sure all got real once I had the suit on and got to sit in my car with it on.

One thing yet, and I am good saftey wise. Kinda crazy how the scca rules are. Yesterday I went to probably one of my favorite shops...Stable Energies....and picked up a helmet, head balaclava, socks, shoes, HANS III device, and SFI roll cage padding. I do need to hit the local shop again for the arm restraints but I am good to go. I know another super exciting non stance related update. I do have a small battery coming in today, and also camber shims tomorrow so maybe that will be more exciting.

Another boring update.
Cage padding added, which parts will be removed since I needed to go to a 6 point...which sucks cuz I am missing the local race but still have 2 more to finish out the year. It was a 250$ gamble to have the cage section in time and without it, I had no class to really run in so oh well. I was dumb and waited far too long.

Also, made this cool new arm rest. Used one of the quick release mounts from my jeep which I am kinda glad I saved.

Next. After waited what seemed like forever, which is more around 7-8 weeks I think after being told these would ship in 2 . I got my over fenders from Acetech.co I think is the name now. 40mm front and 50mm rear. Not really sure if I will even run them but thats my fall/winter project. The real issue is cheap/wide wheels that will fit properly. I have no idea where to begin to look. Hard to get rid of my current wheels since they only weight 17 lb each.

I will look into those again, Just hard to find something with the proper offset to run with the flares. Another big decision is 17 vs 18s.
Looks like most of the cosmis that are wide are only in 5x114 thoMy super boring build http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...other-M3-buildInsta Mintyhinrichs

Have to do some offroading to get to the back of my house where my garage is, so why not stop for a pic and confuse my neighbors.

Also half ass test fit, I will be selling these I think for what I paid....which saves someone 8 weeks of shipping. 40mm/50mm

firstly....
e36 needs 17s. best wheel to run in terms of sizes. 17 with a chunky tyre for track/fast set ups. 17s with skinny tyres for stance boy life.
18s are a no.
also if you can only find wheels in a 5x114.3 fitment just ask for adaptors i can make you some 15mm ones if need be. or wider if wanted.
