Replacement for the Touring

[ColdAccord]

HAHA whatchu thought. There's no replacing it. Just for winter, SON.

85 eta, slammed on bavauto springs (which i like as they're relatively soft for daily driving. sag like a biiitch). modified 325i air box, head shaved .020, m20b25 throttle body, 2.25" cat back exhaust w/wrx muffler (needs to come off), chip, plug wires, probably something else I'm forgetting. dynoed at 121 hp ~170 ft lbs tq AT THE WHEELS. Tan sport seats (black e46 drivers seat, out of place but damnn comfy), power sunroof, cracked to hell dashboard, sony cd player (suucks, probably gonna come out soon) and I put my kicker 10" L7 in there with a kicker kx800.2 amp, and it's got Infinity (I think?) speakers all around.




probably gonna put my 14" baskets on it this week now that exams are at a lull. Maybe try to find black hood/fenders/valance/pass door

i see lots of people buying these beaters...how much more is a 2nd car costing ya with insurance??

I take my touring off the road for winter and just keep fire and theft on it, and put a "beater" on for winter. Not until I get my next car (possibly e46 330i more likely early e39 540i/6, not for a year or so) will my daily driver be driven year round

When you speak of "modified airbox", what exactly do you mean? Sounds like something I can do to mine.

the tires are a bit too small, also the quarters are rusted so the lip is gone, hence not looking like as much of a drop. haha. Next summer I'll probably replace the fenders and hood, pass door, rockers, and patch up the quarters and paint it

ill take pics of the seat and the airbox sunday if I have time

Cool car..sounds somewhat similar to mine. That's no beater, btw,
those mods you list are substantial.

About the 325i airbox... I have one lying around but was told that
it is not much of an upgrade from an e to an i -- you are better off
going right to the e30m3 airbox becaue the 'i' metal part only allows
slightly more air through than an 'e', but the e30m3 has allows much more.

And, to put it on you actually need to change the AFM which involves swapping the black electronic thing from your eta into the new AFM (be
it the i one, or the e30m3 one. see http://www.davelength.net/car/compare3.html

i'm probably too lazy to do that. I was gonna put my m30 afm in my 325i, but i might do an maf conversion so maybe I will just put the afm into the e. Ihave a spare e afm laying around somewhere
