[E36youngster]

damn! that thing is built!



you need tires and you have a crack in the windshield btw :) :p



looks great

[SurrealCC]

question for u.....im looking at putting the same seats....only momo in my bmw.......how are ur harness hooked up IE pics of back seats....also rear strut bar......do u have one....pic please?

[ianiac]

Harnesses are connected to under the back seat. they bolt into the first set of bolts than run longer. The middle seat belt is deleted and their than bolted into where it should be. Give me a couple days or pictures. Rear strut bar I think I probably have a pic laying around of, but it'll be of when my trunk was still completely gutted.

Yes, Youngster, new windsheild will be put in in the next couple weeks (If only you could so just how bad it is right now). Tires are in garage, need to be mounted. I've had my 17's on most the time I've owned the car though.

[PhilipWOT]

I am fully aroused.

[e36mike]

-10 for that hood +9 for the rest hah

[rede36_325i]

beautiful car love the engine mods and the wheels. did u roll your own fenders or have someone else?

[ianiac]

They were proffesionally rolled. Thinking of having them rolled a bit more possibly, so I can lower the back down a little more without it rubbing.

Or turn it into a widebody turbo? Ha, Don't have the money for that for a decent while...

[PhilipWOT]

Ian- in all seriousness, how much better is the ported BavAuto engine? I've considered doing this type of thing.

[rede36_325i]

ha well it looks very good dude. i saw alot of bimmers at the last auto-x with wider fenders and stuff. i love those wheels on ur car. i got a quick question for you when u put that cf hood on did u notice the temp guage being alot lower? because ever since i had mine whenever i am driving around my car is running much cooler. im guessing its from having no insulation like the stock one.

[ianiac]

Not really noticed that. Just straight in the middle always. Aside those 8 seconds before I turned it off and got it towed, cause my Fluidine radiator cracked...

[Rimell]

Seriously nice M3!
Did you put the wing on after or did it come with the CF boot?
If you put it on after do you have any pics of the CF boot without the wing?

[rede36_325i]

hmmm wierd ever since my hood my car runs cold

[the_brouhaha]

I love it.

The ZHP shift knob is niiiice.

[Ryawee]

I don't like the two tone so much and i've never liked those steering wheels (what's the point of those?) but the rest of the car is very nice.

[ianiac]

Have you ever driven a car with a racing wheel? After you get used to it, it's amazing. It just gives you way more feel, and it's easier to grip/ toss around (lighter too).

[bimmerblack]

Ianic, thanks for the pics dude. That is a very aggresive M car you've got goin there. Take care of it dude.

[FadetoCrimson1]

ian. dude wow.. that looks amazing..

the only suggestions i can make are i think you should paint your valve cover it looks like crap. and IMO i think if you got black moldings it would look better.... just a suggestion

[FadetoCrimson1]

oh and the exhaust tips need to go bro... get the ones that come out straight. the DTM tips are gay

[98bimmer318]

that is balliinnnin! nice work :thumbup: i like everything youve done to her.

[kickass95318ti]

looks good ian!!! u should come out to some of the ETK meets goin on every thursdays,
go to the website www.euroteknik.com its based in the chicagoland area

[E36 Phantom]

Been forever since I've seen you on here bro! Great pics, looks intense. Not feelin the two tone or the hood, but definitely looks intense. And the mod list is amazing. :yikes: :thumbup:

[allaboutdadrivr]

Not done yet??? Lol. That thing is insane. About how much was that Autowerks short shift?

[ianiac]

Rimmel. It's a seperate part. My car actually doesn't have it on right now. Don't have any pictures without it though. I'll try to get some this weekend if I get a chance but I'll be pretty busy.

Andy. Yeah I really don't like DTM tips whatsoever. I want to get another UUC system U like I had on my last car.. But I'm short money right now.

Kickass. I joined the forum. I've heard of it a lot and been on the site but kind of always ignored it. I ride with ChitownM. Have you heard of them before?

Allaboutdriver. The shift kits about $250 bit more I think.
