So it's been almost 2 months since I did that custom exhuast. The SLP resonator was resonating into the cabin too much so this moring I cut the SOB off and put a pipe in place, it's a bit quieter inside, but I've come to the conlusion it's the brutal Borla Race muffler...time for that turbo!

Last weekend I installed the Eibach Sways front and rear with new links and TCD rear brackets. What a difference! Only took me 3 hours for the front and rear...pretty good when you've got a tool box and a bay at your job!

Oh yea! I also installed an E46 ZHP 5 speed weighted knob.

Anyone help me out on spacers? Should I on my stocks for now? I'm doing a stud/lug conversion from the wheel bolts also. 10 or 15mm spacers? I don't want rubbing.

So here it is....idle to 4K to 6K then a few revs. And some shots of the car clean.

First the vid followed by pics(washed)

Can't find anything to my taste. I was thinking to wait and have some custom one made in the future.

Thanks dude!

Yea, everything is easier when you're a tech at BMW with all the right tools. I've heard people doinf front sways at home on the floor...screw that!

I might screw with a heat shield as soon I get a few things back from my welder in like an hour.

I have to rock the wheels I have now...I need two rear tires soon =/ maybe I'll trickly with spacers and 90mm, studs to just look even hotter!

Didnt you say you ordered those special wheels from Japan or something a couple months back?


That exhaust needs to be changed out STAT.

nice! im diggin the hot air intake too hahahah jk!

car sounds good...

Naw...3G right now isn't the best thing I could do. I spend 2Gs on a tool box since my old one was over filled.

And the exhaust is ready for a turbo! It sounds different with a load, like everyone elses.

i am going to install my eibach rear sway monday...gonna keep the front one stock for now.....

i love the way the black grille looks on your color! :D

Thank you.

You're going to notice the difference right away! Just hope you ordered TCD brackets!

yea i did

i bought em off of someone who was parting their car out

so i got the tcd brackets/rear sway bar for 120 + my oem rear sway....

i may at some point upgrade the front sway bar but the time/labor involved is a bit much....and i am also gonna add a front strut tower brace...which should help a little bit....

I have mine hanging from the parcel shelf...which I need to get rid of because they need a box built around them. two 8's trying to move air in that huge trunk..not good.

i dropped that thing with the quickness....still have the 200w amp that came with it though

right now its hooked up to my jl audio w3 12 from my other car....i should have my new to me amp in a day or two
