Yeah, his rears are et0,that's why they stick out so much.
Image
Mine with et15 should be 15mm deeper from the arch and closer to the shock, that should make them look a bit better

Started tearing down the interior and poking around with a screwdriver :D found the last bit of cancer on this shock tower. Will finish it up tomorrow.
Also tried grinding down the welds, but the sparks form a freaking tornado of fire in the boot by bouncing off of all the surfaces, not even the protective glasses help, so need to figure out a better outfit (preferably with a big hoodie) and get some sort of a mask.

Dragged this home in the boot today. m20b25 from e34.
Got it for cheap (~100eur). After i sell the gearbox, alternator, starter, ps pump, sump and get my old engine to the scrapyard i should get pretty much all the money back :D so probably will do a bit of rebuilding.

make it turbo :mrgreen:
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
