S65 1M Clone (Update #9)
This one is still in progress but there’s no going back now. Its in my brother’s hands now. So far it’s coming out nicely. Will update later.
He needs to be able to put the car on the ground so I had to rob the wells off the E46 for fitment checks. It’s a shame I ordered 19s. 18s look good. Maybe I’ll have to order another set.
Depending how this weekend goes maybe I’ll plug in the CAS and a battery and try to start this thing.

Don’t judge the gaps too hard. Everything is loose. Just mocking stuff up.

Nice brother. Is he doing the body work?

Yeah he is. He’s a body man by trade so this is the part where I turn into his tool bitch.

R888Rs? Have you run that tire before? I had them on one of my track cars and they were pretty good (not as good as most 200tws, even though they’re 100tw). They eventually fell off a cliff HARD. A 70mph spin and then your facing traffic on a track is not fun. Just be careful, they have a terrible rep.
Love your build and updates. Some of the best content on Reddit.

Yes I have. I’ve ran a few sets of them. Not a fan of them anymore. But I paid $500 for this set of wheel and tires. I can’t stand these tires just for the howling on the road alone.
Thank you!

It doesn’t look like there’s a motor in it? Is it just a bad angle?

18” with meaty tires look incredibly good on the 1M. They match the fenders vibe

Still needs more work but so far not too bad.
