Have you still got the S8?

And now with Coilovers installed:
Front (new and old side by side):

Rear (installed):

On Car:

Photos are just phone pics, this was on my dry run to see if the shocks etc fit ok.

Voodoomelon · 23-03-2012 9:04pm

Nice work. With the amount of quality aftermarket coilovers on the market, is there any instance where you'd be better off going OEM and paying x2-x4 the price?

Foxhole Norman · 23-03-2012 9:16pm

Not my own car but it's what I'm driving. (Old Lade's Car)

And the Old Man's Car (Rep Mobile):

Thanks.
OEM S8 suspension setup would be more than 4x the price as these were quite cheap (£480 for the whole set). OEM would get you a more consistent and known setup, but I wanted something harder and less likely to bottom out.

As a weird quirk, the rear springs of the FK setup are exactly the same width and size as the (lower than A8) S8 rear springs. Will see how the FK's fair with some miles on them.

New car. Had to clean her up before I parked it beside the Lexus.

rob180 · 24-03-2012 1:02am

Now that brings back memories. My first ever new car was an AX GT, all 85bhp of it. Really crappy built quality, but have superb handling.Love it!!

Love the black out sunglasses and the fact that the roof ridge on the opposite house was built using tetris technology:D

Great for a bit of a rally though the mountains. All the door handles broke so you could only get in through the boot but second gear was amazing.

Mycroft H · 24-03-2012 11:20pm

The bangernomics clio. Cleans up well enough

challengemaster · 28-03-2012 11:21pm

Quick pic I took of mine while it was clean the other day

If the weather holds up I might get some proper pics tomorrow

challengemaster · 30-03-2012 2:22am

As promised, weather was fairly ok - here's another pic

Vertakill · 30-03-2012 2:30am

Wow that is looking beautiful! Good job

E46's all the way

Nice one Cal

challengemaster · 30-03-2012 8:23pm

Considering there's much love for the CF grilles, here's a half decent pic of them

hi_im_fil · 30-03-2012 10:10pm

Everybody seems to love cf doorcards

Paddy@CIRL · 30-03-2012 10:19pm

On a job last week for Classic Ford and managed to grab these during a lunch break. I'll get some decent shots once the CF CSL boot lid goes on and it gets a full paint correction in two weeks.

MetzgerMeister · 30-03-2012 10:21pm

Who's doing the paint correction?

no1beemerfan · 30-03-2012 10:27pm

Paddy, that E90 is gorgeous. An E90 saloon done right (like yours!) is way nicer that an E92 imo. Not gone on the coupe shape at all.

It's booked with Larry in CleanCar - he's been told to go all out as I haven't polished / waxed the car in four months after getting the bumpers painted (for stone chips and parking marks from previous owner)

Thanks mate - The E9x shape was the first 3 Series I preferred the saloon over the coupe. I think the WTCC cars had something to do with that!

Ardennes1944 · 30-03-2012 10:40pm

That e90 is beautiful! Done very well there kiddo!

SOSTECH · 31-03-2012 12:54pm

Thanks Guys, Still more being added! Side repeaters are being replaced and new steering wheel and airbag (damned opel horn buttons) New garters with white stitching and the centre console is going to be professionally sprayed.

An easier way is to hold Ctrl and use the scroll button on your mouse to zoom in and out

I am on a Mac at the moment and usually use 'cmd' and +/- to zoom but my point is his picture is too big.
