Mods left to do:

Roll Bar

Hood Vents

The car will basically be used for auto-x and some open track events. Enjoy

I like it, what have you done to it.

That is straight bad ass. What kind of suspension are you running? E46s are really starting to appeal to me more, mabey because they are coming into the modding scene more, or mabey because i'm sick of my old e36 falling apart! Either way, one may be in my future.

sorry for not getting back to you guys, just came back from vacation.

As far as numbers go, I have not had a chance to get the car dyno'ed, so I am not really sure.

Engine mods include Schrick 264/248 cams, supersprint headers, random tech 100 cell cats, rogue engineering dms exhaust, and AA 8psi s/c.

Suspension mods include FK Automotive Silverline Coils, TMS sway bars, Racing dynamics front and rear sway bars, ground control rear shock mounts

As far as weight reduction goes, rear is basically stripped out, very light 17" Forgeline wheels 17x8 17x9 , and the racing seats with the harnesses.

I will try to get the car dynoed soon, but not sure exactly when

malakia12 · #11 (**permalink**) 07-11-2005, 03:17 PM

It did not get swiped, I was painting it black and the paint was not done drying when I was taking the pictures.

That oil cooler is PHAT!!! You can tell a mile away from that that its AA. Im currently making a custom rear seat removal kit for my gfs car as well as my 4 door M3. What do ytou have as far as a covering in the rear. Im bought 1/4' plywood and plexiglass and plan to do a suede or leather covering. She is the guinnie pig tho, my car is next. As far as the seats go, did you do the install? How much did they run you with the sub frame and mounting brackets? Most importantly, Notice a difference with the weight change??? Please advise -thanks a million!

====((((also! Bro get some Schnitzer mirrors on their or something = and youll have one tight wip, I cant stand the factory blocks.. i mean mirrors. not hating tho swweeeet setup im in the market for soem forgelines as well, you get them through UUC?)))))======>

As far as the rear goes, I just left it stripped like that. I really dont care much for looks(that being the reason why I have not changed the mirrors either). The Sparco seats my friend and I swapped them. Took us about 3-4 hours to do both seats. As far as weight savings go, it is a huge difference. I had manual seats, and they were still heavy as hell. I could only imagine the difference power seats would have in weight. The sparco sliders and brackets cost about $200 I believe. I did get my forgeline's through UUC, great bunch of guys there.

Awesome thanks for the reply. Are you sponsored? Or is this your hobby? I would love to get sponsored and cut the costs down on the mods I want to do. Not too sure how to go about it tho, UUC was one I had in mind. They ARE very helpful and their products are top notch.
