rampelsauce Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I did a do. So I'm back, but this time with a running car that I plan on sticking with. So far: -AC delete -ASC delete -Racing Dynamics Strut Bar -"Fogged" intake mod -Z3 short shifter Garagistic shift carrier bushings -Secondary Air Pump Delete Slowly getting rid of stuff before I start adding stuff. Working on a custom collector back 2.25" exhaust with a resonator and maybe a muffler depend on how I feel about the noise. Plan is koni yellows with H&R race springs. Lots more I'm thinking about, but the future isn't set in stone. I like this one though, so we'll see where I decide to go. wasnt m3, Jdesign and P_Roloff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelBlue Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I've definitely come around to these the more I have seen them. They seem like they would be fun with the M42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda the plan if I can pick up a used M44 to rebuild over the winter while the car is parked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some issues that I had to square away but I got it for a song and it is remarkably clean. It's super fun to beat on, m44 feels healthy, just needs a 373 LSD and a light flywheel to really wake up the drivetrain. I'm sure going full poly is going to help quite a bit as well.

rampelsauce Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Well, earl sold me a bumper. I installed said bumper today. Wow I need lowering springs. It's an AC Schnitzer replica bumper. Looks pretty okay. Could use some paint. jc43089, Jdesign, m42b32 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted September 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Got some yellow cheapy fogs. Not too shabby. I'm thinking frenchy high beams and clear corners to complete the look. m42b32 and P_Roloff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Oops, forgot to post progress things. So, got some steelies with Pirelli Alfredo spreader snow tires. Then, I got a M3.that apparently flies according to people in the know. It has a racing stripe that's probably the worst thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Does getting an M3 count as a mod to the red car? I'm confused. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 You smell correctly. Since the M3 chassis is totes f'd in the b, the S52 and S52 accessories will be going into the compact. But first, I will be winter beating the hell out of the M3.

rampelsauce Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Updates over hurr. Traded my style 5s for a brand new in the wrapper Sparco EVO2 seat. Yay. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Also, beat on the M3 on some snowy roads. Was very fun. Getting super itchy to tear into the compact and start gutting the interior. Ordered some side mounts today, going to test fit it up in the M3. Also got a hub adapter for a wheel I'm trading for. Doing some powder coat for another wibimmer, @gilber33. If it warms up I'll be throwing some powder on my DS2s and attempting to send them down the road to buy Kosei K1s for the compact. Working on a guy to buy a rear subframe assembly out of a compact so I can build it outside of the car. That's all I know. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted February 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Test fitting everything in the M3 prior to the compact install. Traded some powder coating for a steering wheel. Nice fit with the NRG shorty hub. I believe it's a 100mm offset. 350mm wheel. Pretty comfy and no t rex arms. Next will be installing my Sparco seat. I have my side mounts and my harness now, just need the floor mounts. If I can't find some I'll have to sway @wasnt m3 to long term lend me his in exchange for money.

rampelsauce Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Feeling super hard right now about these 2nd Air Pump delete things. Also in the mail is my ASC delete hoses from FCP Euro. Gonna tinker with the S52 a bit while it's in the M3. Removing stuff that won't be transferred to the compact is the name of the game. If I had a warm place to tear apart the compact, I'd be pulling the front end, motor/trans, and complete interior. Here's hoping weather gets a bit better so I can get out and get wrenching.

rampelsauce Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Poor baby, all alone in the cold, battery probably dead, not getting the attention it deserves. Man I need a garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Weather was okay so I decided to do my ASC throttle body delete. Ordered the hoses from FCP Euro, and got myself a shirt as well. Super nice shirt, highly recommended. Cleaned up the area nicely. While I was poking around I noticed that I had some neato pulley on the front of the engine that I hadn't seen before. Appears to be an ECS unit. Super interesting. Just need to delete my secondary air pump next. I know it's not a performance mod per se, but it is a dont have to worry about it mod when swap time comes. Hoping to pull the front end off the compact soon if the weather cooperates. Come on spring! Jdesign and m42b32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I had similar luck on my auction e36, Dinan big bore throttle body and Dinan chipped ECU. And also limited slip differential which was actually stock but not expected. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the BBTB does anything on a 297k mile m50... The LSD is the best part in the snowy weather this year. Keep 'er sideways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
