Thanks man! I need to do some paint touch up before the season and get some other stuff together, just need to find time with all the work I have going on at the office.

Love those wheels!
I'm looking to do a e36 rack also. Mine leaks like a siv and it has slop in it.

Right? I was never really one of those rep haters. Don't get me wrong if I could afford RS's or OZ Turbo's that's what she'd be sitting on. I was more interested in getting the tires on honstley. They're more expensive than the wheels

[Bggdnssnguy]

What makes that tire so expensive? Is it like a track style tire or is it cause of the lettering on the side?

Yeah there quite grippy, pretty sure they're standard equipment on a Lotus Elise.

Not that I paid that much

[Brezzi]

I did a thing!

front valence was pretty chipped up (not my photos):



So I took off everything and sanded:





Then I put it back together and threw on the new wheel and tire set up I just bought:




Bonus pics my buddy's e46 m3 and his stupid pretty new set up:

Spruced up my intake system. The car came with a cheap air filter. I've replaced that with a KAMotors intake wrapped in heat reflective tape. Took some time to clean out the TB and ICV too. The pics below contain my new work bench area behind my car! Finally have a solid wrenching set up in my apt.

I realize that this set up still allows for hot air to effect the intake temp via the rubber boot and actual manifold. I've been thinking about wrapping the manifold in the reflective tape as well. That might be overkill though. Any thoughts?
