newbie saying Hi!!!..pics inside too

[james330i]

Hey guys, just wanted to say wazzup to everybody.
Hopefully I'll get some good tips from the forums, as well as share mine. I've just about finished modding my car (actually I have no choice as my pockets are now empty).

Anyway, here's pics of the car. I just had it Dinan-ized last month and it's suweet now.

It's a 330i 5spd.

Also, the whole stereo is afermarket, so if you guys have any questions about that, I'll be glad to help.

Welcome and Nice wheels.

[Ack]

Welcome to the Fest.

Your car looks great. Love the SSR GT3's! :thumbup:

What type of stereo mods did you do besides the headunit and what Dinan products did you get?

[AF]

Welcome to the fest !!!

Your car is no doubt one of the best looking white E46's I've seen.

As far as stereo goes, I'm running Focal Utopias 5.25'' comps up front, and Focal 6.5 comps in the rear, all powered by a PPI PCX480 4*80 amp.

For the sub, I've got one 12" IDMAX powered by a PPI PCX2200 800*1 amp, all controlled via a Pioneer AVX-P9000R dobly digital processor, which works well with the PS2 I put under the glove compartment.

For dinan, I did the Throttle Body, ECU and Air intake treatment, plus a UUC TSE exhaust. Man, best investment ever on that package!!!.

That does it. Gotta get the SSR GT1s for winter. Of course the GT3s are better looking, but I don't like the idea of cleaning the snow and road grit off of them in the winter. Thanks for the show, James.

BTW, you should look at the old thread on E46fanatics entitled "Look what the mod fairy..."

beautiful - welcome aboard!

:yikes: Why would you mount 17" super lightweight rims as your winters? Why not just use your factory 17" (perhaps 18") ones for the snow? You're a crazy man!

[berford@home]

I've heard so much negative banter about the M68s being damaged by changing out the tires that I don't want to take that chance. This way I'll have dedicated wheel/tires for each season and I won't sacrifice anything in a visual sense, IMO. I have other reasons as well, but that's the primary one. Is that so crazy?

Welcome!! :thumbup: Your car is absolutely beautiful!! SSR's look bad ass as well! :thumbup:

[ChrisTO]

Well, we enjoy cold bums, average sound quality, spinning in the winter, the lack of convertible tops, sports modes, and tire pressure monitors. :bigpimp:

Compare that to this baby:

M3 Cabriolet with every option. :yikes:

[unleasHell]

your name sounds familure, do you (or did you) go to the G35 board for some fun?

great looking car, what size are those rims, 18"?

I worked for Rubbermaid years ago and they moved to Maryville, they invited me to go, but heck I'm a Caifornian (whatever that means...).

I really want to upgrade the stereo (or at least my speakers) did your Focals just "drop-in"? Also I have never heard of those, but have talked with someone else that has them. I have always liked MB Quarts....

Very sharp 330! Those wheels look vaguely familiar :thumbup:
