Anyone have an old racing seat? It’s going in my sim rig so it doesn’t need to be all that nice. Hoping to find one in the Madison area. Thanks
-
I may have to consider one then, my N55 isn’t too bad unless I’m in normal drive mode and have to slow down in traffic and suddenly speed back up. It’s usually off a gear or two from what I’d like to be in to get back to traffic speed. Are you going to do a transmission flash too?

How’s the pedal tuner? I’ve seen them around but never really felt throttle response was so bad I needed one. Is it night and day or just a mild improvement?
-
Don’t think my car is dirt nasty low enough or hotboi enough for it but kind of want to grab this one.

I’m going to do a belt and tensioner change tonight, hopefully everything goes smoothly to be set for tomorrow.

The 330i is probably a scam but never know.
Here’s what I came across today in my normal daily checks.

This site also scrapes facebook and ebay and is generally quite useful.

My work in progress. Ps4, crappy thrustmaster t150 at the moment, full surround built into rig, play GT sport. Can't wait for 7. Ignore my equally work in progress basement and butt butt inprogress pupperino.
You should throw a BMW roundel on it.
Also I’ve been playing quite a bit of Forza both Horizon 4 and Motorsport 7 if anyone would like to play some casual racing some time. Also have a new PC with Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2. Mostly just drift on Assetto Corsa on PC or sometimes play Shutoko Revival Project.

I’m intereseted in attending.

The E90, developed a squeal today. Seems like the parking brake is hanging up and at low speeds making an awful squealing at low speed. Seems once up to speed it’s gone. I’ll have to pull the rotors off and see this weekend.

It looks like I cut the passenger side a bit short as the muffler fell down and was hanging by the brackets. Anyone know of a longer clamp or other solution that’d keep it attached without having it welded?
-
I’m in Cincinnati and am half tempted to pop by EAG, but I think they’d just shoo me away.

I’ve got a PS5 with sim setup. Logitech G29 with GT Lite bucket. Mostly play GT Sport, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2. But own most available sim or simcade games for it.
-
I do have some plans for the car, hopefully I can follow through. I’m in the market for a winter beater/commuter so I can really get into the build.

Damn, I was just looking at a set of these. Does your friend have an asking price?

Alright, so I finally transferred some recent photos off my camera(yes I still use one it’s a Fujifilm X100 if you care) to get this thread going. This is my 2011 E90 335i 6AT, in Alpine White sitting on style 193m’s.
I bought the car in April or so of last year, year before it came out of Arizona and currently has 85k. So far I haven’t done much to it but big plans are under way. Currently general maintenance has been done and a VRSF charge pipe(that I’m unsure if I seated correctly to the intercooler but until it pops off I’ll assume is fine). Currently it’s a fish bowl but I have a tint appointment on the 3rd, Turner High Kick Spoiler should be here around that time.
This will be going on this weekend after some cleaning and it should be set for the summer. Will probably do a suspension overhaul at some point as well. It is my commuter car so I’m hesitant to start adding power that may resort to me having to steal my girlfriend’s car for a day. But eventually plan to go FBO and tune for 93 as it’s relatively easy to find currently by me.

Love it, Volvos are rad.

Ended up going with a Dinan Free Flow, no longer looking for PE. Thanks for the help.

Not sure how much help this will be. But I found this today while browsing around bimmerpost looking at digital gauge options for my e90. No clue how good they are and the website has a really scammy name. But it claims to mate up to the maxx ecu.https://customdigitalgauges.com/products/race-cluster

@JdesignProbably not, but North of you. I’m up in the Sun Prairie area.

Upgraded my rig a bit. CSL DD, SHH shifter and handbrake. Anyone interested in setting up a league in some sim?
There’s also this deal running right now to basically get all the major sims for $13. https://www.humblebundle.com/games/ultimate-racing-sim-bundle If anyone wants a copy of rFactor 2 or Assetto Ultimate Edition pm me I already own them so they’re just duplicates.
