Yes. This is EXACTLY what you need
Just don't move to Chch, the roads here are rubbish for anything stiffer aftermarket suspension.

Getting there

Post by **Ash Kelly Barr** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 5:39 pm

Todays efforts

C52 shifter shaft into E58rwd

C series cap fits e series
The main sector spline and key is the same between shafts

Shafts are hardened steel so you need to grind threw about 3mm before its soft enough to drill

Used cutting disks on a grinder to get the grooves for the retainer clips

Very happy with the out come

Now just need to sort my drivers side axle and drill the shifter hole and I'm good to go

So I picked up some recaro fishnets! They will be off the my apolstera next week along with my door card and fibre glass centre console

Break boosters being swopped

There's still some mods I need to do to the hubs and brakes but BC's are in the front so can start measuring up spacers

I'm getting hub centric spacers CCN'd, these will be fixed to the hub making them legal to cert

Will do the rears soon, just need to get some rear camber plates off Barry

Also we painted the mini, came up mint, some I now have a good air compressor and guns in witch to finally paint some panels, wahoo!

Hey cheers
Yup 4x100

15x7.5 front 15x8.5 rear

I've gotta spacers made to clear the brakes still so they will sit out a bit more so will need to pull the guards
Will sit as low as the last photo with mrs wheel and 195/45/15

Front will possably be 205 and rears 225 wide maybe?

Choice thats going to be some guard pulling to make those tyres fit what offset will they end up being

Their +20 how ever the spacers will push them out anouther 10mm, maybe 15mm on the front

Front guards are easy to pull its the rears I'm worried about.
I've been looking at bmw e30 M3 box guards for the rear. I need to measure them though as they might be to long meaning they would come onto the doors making a lot of work and not quite the look I want.

I'm trying to find a 2012-15 Audi rs4 or rs6 so I can make copy's of the front box guards.
Might haft to hit up a wealthy friend of mine and get him to "test drive" one for a weekend

Hey are you not going with the SSR's after all? Toms wheels?
Might have missed it but what have you changed with the accelerator pedal?

Other than that, good progress

I had assumed it was the steering wheel, but could be wrong?
The pic of the accelerator pedal placement is in the previous post - a bit closer to the brake pedal. Easier heel-toe

Nope I bought more wheels haha their only 7" wide but their 80's as hell and super rare so I'll swop them over when I fell like a change.

However I would like a TOM'S stealing wheel too.

Yeah acsel is out and over more so I don't haft to reach so much for heal toe
I'll post photos once I get them on my laptop (I can't post off Apple still)
