After the front fender lip was cut off (at the lower marked edge of where the flare touched the body) they were then riveted in place using the black aluminum rivets included in the kit. There was a slight bit of trimming to perfect the fit. The mounting holes for the bolt-on/rivet-on flares were also marked and drilled in both the flare and fender. These were mocked up on the front fenders and marked on the paint to see where to trim the fender lips. This set of flares was specific to the E46 non-M sedan chassis. When our customer Jeremy saw the car he loved it, but liked the 17x10" Forgestar F14 wheels and flares on our red 330, so we ordered up another set of raw wheels and HARD Motorsport flares. We had planned on selling this car with a set of 17x8" Jongbloed 3-piece wheels and Hoosier race tires we had in the shop from another project. Last time we covered the many changes to the interior and safety bits that were upgraded. We tackled the suspension, brakes, roll bar, chassis reinforcement, and more. We started building this 328i in 2016 "on spec" as a dual purpose street/track car, but heavily track focused. We also need to catch up with work done to the 328i Track Rat dual purpose build we couldn't fit in last time (including 17x10" wheels RS4 tires, above left), and we have recently completed a huge round of repairs to the black 325 automatic we bought earlier this year (above right) - soon to be a Daily Driver for Amy so we can LS swap her Scion FR-S. We will cover the latest round of mods (Big Wang!) that pushed this build out of TTD class (a class that is going away in 2018 ) and then chronicle the race NOLA race weekend at the end. well, its another FIVE part post, so you better grab a snack.Īs you can see above our TTD E46 has jumped up two classes to TT4, then we raced it with NASA at NOLA Motorsports Park - with somewhat shocking results. Project update for November 10th, 2017: Last time we had a record FIVE PART forum thread update here - and that was only a month ago. Re: Vorshlag BMW E46 - Daily Driven Track Car Project
