What are u smoking? The amber is gone for a reason and those rice lights are factory just no amber. I hate the orange!!!

True, I would not remove power steering, but brakes may end up with better control/feel manual if set up properly, the kit already changes the pedal ratio from 4:1 to 6:1 to decrease effort, and you can choose between several master cylinders that will bolt right on to get the desired diameter. Mikes e28 has awesome pedal feel, not sure if the difference is because of no ABS? It feels very firm, like I imagined it would be with SS flex lines (That's the best I can describe it). But on my e36 I want it to feel like that, I am removing the ABS (didn't work anyway and I don't drive it in the winter) and doing SS flex lines. Then again mine may take longer than Earl to finish...

Ok well after about a month of trying to sell the e46 and just finishing the e28 manual swap and build, I left the e46 off to the wayside for almost a month. She was covered in dirt and the birds decided to do some target practice on it as well. So I took her to the car wash and gave her a bath and stood back and realized, damn, this is still quite a sexy beast just needs some minor tlc to be perfect. Then, I went for a cruise and as I was pounding through the gears and hauling through the backroads around where I live, I could feel all the years of refinement over the e28. So Im wanting to keep her and do some custom subtle mods basically go oem plus, so get some lows, some nice wheels, a roof rack, a slightly louder exhaust and do some other tweaking but mostly go for the look of having a very clean e46 that I can take on those long trips and relax rather than hear the drone of the damn close to straight pipe on my super eta powered monster e28. So guys and gals (if there are any on here lol) pitch me some ideas (within reason (SNAP). I also am trying to do this on a decent budget (no moneys here like king of ocd stainless and powdercoating junkie EARL lol)
How she sits now

Looks exactly like the linkage for my e28 as well

I was thinking of getting a eBay turbo manifold and weld on a Subaru turbo flange so then I can just interchange between scooby turbos and making finding different turbos to upgrade to easy to find and cheap
-
The turbo I got came from a 2008 WRX which has a larger hot side to it being a 2.5 which means I could run just one but if i swap over to a smaller hot side from the 2.0 boxer turbo It could work as a twin setup or I may sell this and the intercooler im getting in hopes for a more sizable single turbo. I dont wanna go crazy with boost, just enough to get me around 300whp to have some more fun with wider tires.

Would compound work with 2 of the same turbos? I'm still considering running each turbo off 3 cylinders each so 1.35L per turbo

JAW=DROPPED!!!!

Or this...

Thanks Chris you ARE da MAN!!! And anyone elses thoughts on twin td04 turbos on the seta? With low boost a big ass intercooler and have a y-pipe for the twins to go to the intercooler. I was thinking about angling the trubos back a n=bit and run small pod filters on each and rock the smaller hot side parts from earlier wrxs so dirt cheap good turbos. Next step is to get an e30 i cam and springs with harness and e30 megasquirt pnp so the stroker is gonna happen first then start hording parts for the twins after that. I bet me and mr menard can swap cams and springs and put in a wideband and guage in a fortnight. i want to see if the m20 seta will run lean with stock fuel components before going ham on a new harness and getting megasuirtle

Holy shit, you weren't kidding that it was clean !
Would I lie???

sorry about the crap pics my phone is taking a shit in a major way but you get the general idea

Well found a damn snail in my shop named td04 and going to be looking for its twin soon!

BMW e36 touring dizzle!!! I want so damn bad
-
34-36 is what I got in the 528e from what I can remember. The E36 318is was pretty similar too. In town average I could get 26 if I was good.
19.1 is my best in the suburban, 17.8 is average.
WHAT??? How? The best i can pull outta the 528e is 27mpg the e46 gets 32mpg hwy and my van gets 22.5 average and the cherokee (when it ran properly before my sister fucked the 4.0) got 20mpg with a 4" lift!
-
Those are the revs I sit at in my seta swapped car now and I only have to drop a gear if its a ginormous hill and im going 55 (which is rare for me to be going that slow) Im getting 25-27 mpg hwy in the e28 so i bet you could pull 30 out of the e30

That video is going to my house from the storage unit with the bad auto transmission. You can also observe the ride quality/comfort of the Land Cruiser first hand as well.
What ride quality/comfort do you speak of??? LOL that Land Bruiser is beyond badass

I have pictures from the previous owner when it was installed and taken off. I'll look for them next week when I'm home.
That would be great if you could find them! I would love to tow my ski boat with the e28

Did some screwing around on my car yesterday
Found this old dizzle exhaust tip which slid right over my twin tips
Then I broke out the 2 shitty cragars that i had laying around for a test fit. What do you guys think?

NO amber!!!! Im thinking some smoked m3 tails and keeping the smoked front blinks they are not that dark in person. Mr Menard thinks I should still sell it because "vader" is a fatty...
