Hey guys, here are some pictures of my R56, started out as British racing green, car currently running a GTD 47mm turbo with a way motor works upgraded manifold, a ton of maintenance has also been completed. Looking for some feedback, car is currently on manic stage 2 tune.
Man that looks sweet really digging the color transformation and the stripeing.
What's the size and wheels offset on the green car with the bronze wheels
and the BB's wheels and tires.

so the bronze wheels were 17x9 +25
the BBS are 18x8 +38 as well as 20mm spacers
Wow I really like like how you were able to change the looks of the car with subtle enhancements 😎 in all seriousness that is one heck of a transformation. Great job 👍👍

So was spacers used on both sets of wheels, what's the name of the bronze wheels
also what tire size were you running? Was there any rubbing at all with either set
of wheels?

no spacers were used on the bronze wheels, they are aodhan ah06 with 215/ 45/ 17 , I don’t remember them rubbing
The build looks amazing, I'd love to hear more about it. My big glaring question is, what suspension are you running to fit the wheels so well? I have a set of 18x8 +35 work XD9s I was thinking of fitting to my "new" 2012 MCS and you are the first to build something very very similar and it looks better than I could dream.
Also, I see the car didn't start its life with the JCW front lip, did you replace the entire front bumper or just fit the splitter?

First I have to say it looks great, as far as the big turbo you are running are there any internal mods to the engine?
I can tell you are on the coilovers the valve cover looks great.
thx

You’re right. I didn’t see the strut towers at first. Looks like BC Coils at Max camber in front.
I like how you covered the base of coolerworks shifter may I ask where you got that from since I also have that shifter. I am in the process of making the car a little quieter.

Currently the car is on BC racing coil overs. 2.8 degrees of camber front with 1.8 rear. Front has a 20mm spacer. Rear is an 18mm spacer. So they are overall a 18x8 +18 ish. 215/40/18.
When I wrapped the car I switched over to the jcw bumper !

The gauge cluster has custom faces from mini works uk, and I fitted an old android phone where the factory radio controls were!

Previous owner had built the engine, but I’m on a solid tune from Mario at RPM. Thanks!

What I did first was trim a decent amount away from the top of the center console, then ran a universal shift boot over and trimmed it up to fit. I’ll see if I have a closeup o can post for you!
Using an old droid for the cluster and then mounting it into the speedo, is a great idea. I thought about trying something like that, but i was just going to mount the phone on the dash...your idea is much better.
I am assuming you are using blue tooth to the code reader plug-in, What blue tooth scanner are you using?
thank you! Pretty much everything has been ordered through you!

I’m using obdlink mx, as from the reviews it’s rhe fastest reading one. Just drains the battery when connected at all times. So I had an extender and connected the port to a 12v ignition instead of the 12v constant that is provided from the obd port
Tutorial for putting in the custom gauge background
Hi Iranman how did you put the gauge background in the cluster gauge? Is their a tutorial for opening the inside of the cluster faut somewhere? Also what dash kit did you use for your head unit?
