Wow... you've started with an amazing shell and have shown what it's like to be a true enthusiast. The E46's are incredible, but to me it just blows my mind how meticulous all the work you've done on your cars is. Just lovely1990 Islandgrun 535iM Sedan

Every time I stumble upon builds like this, I become immensely jealous of having a garage space where you can take your time and do things properly thorough. Awesome documentation too.
And keep the Recaros! In my honest opinion their some of the best seats to ever meant to be oe. I may be a bit biased though...

rebuilt head by Myster-e Performance, headers from IE, powder coated intake and valve cover
new waterpump, timing belt, engine belts, complete exhaust (new 1st section and cat - the old was crumbling apart), IE rear muffler section, rebuilt oil filter control valve, Miller MAF conversion, new plugs, wires, distributor, coil, crank position sensor, thermostat, all three coolent sensors and radiator
Car runs much better and feels/seems much quicker - still a slow automatic AWD
the idle is REALLY uneven - larger cam - sounds cool but makes car very shaky at stop light with automaticComment

What cam did you go with?Comment

I hate your garageComment
-
Myster-e reground the cam to 280deg
why hate my garage? lolComment

Forgot to share this update:
The blue center caps - I am not sold on the blue lug bolts - they are different blue and add a little too much blue. Thinking silver, chrome or glass black lugs instead.
Opinions????
