The Apex Arc-8's in what they refer to as the 1-series fitments for offset, 18" wheels. 235/40 front, 265/35 rear, PS AS4's.

Dropped my S54 headers, N52 exhaust flanges, an AC compressor, and some 40mm stainless tubing with a local acquaintance from R3VLimited. He's going to tack up the headers to the flanges and modify the #1 primary to clear the AC compressor (he has an N52 block and 6-speed that he's going to install into his Volvo 122S / BMW E30 Frankenstein, so he has a jig to work with).

Ooohhhhh, that sounds nice!

It's a long thread...and the N52 doesn't come into the conversation until about 2/3 the way through.

This is Adam's 122s in the flesh (E30 chassis, no N52 yet - still M20):



(did I mention he converted it to a 2-door?)

My car had the base manual dimming, no alarm, mirror.

Super easy, just had to re-pin a single brown ground cable in connector. Just pop the cover on connector, and slide it in.

No coding required, as soon as i turned the car on the compass turned on and the mirror dimmed. Home link works too!

Just started looking into this. What part number mirror did you end up using?

I mis-read this as E22 BMW (2002) with an N52 block and got very excited!
