    802/1000 Diary

    For the most part, yeah.For the rear, you'll need SCE adapters to make the lower mounts a bolt on affair.To make the front bolt on, you'll need to ditch the Ohlins camber plate for an E39A specific plate. For my install, I used camber plates from BC (and it looks like that's what I see in...

    EVO 3 radiator in your vr4

    I also have a Koyo Evo III radiator. My overflow line route is similar (not much else you can do unless you move the tank).I went a different route with the sensor and had a bung welded on in the stock location.Other minor tweak was that I had to grind down the fan mounting standoffs on...

    I have E39A tein camber plates, do I have more options for coilovers now?

    Here are the adapters you'll need (to avoid the rear welding option)I used that complete set when installing evo Ohlins.Other items to note from my experience: You'll need spacers/shims for the front lower mount when using evo struts or coilovers since they're a little bit wider than our...

    Short answer, yes.I have Ohlins Road & Track coilovers for a CT9A installed on my E39A.To make them bolt in, I used the following items: SCE adapter kit for the rear lower mounts, E39A camber plates from BC for front upper mounts (replacing the CT9A plates), and some slightly longer camber...

    CT9A Ohlins & E39A Camber plates

    Just a quick update.Swapping over the bare BC camber plate works.There is a difference in thickness of the two plates.The BC plate measures 8.15mm thick while the Ohlins plate is 6mm thick.As a result, using the thicker BC camber plate means the supplied camber plate screws are not...
