      So was messing around and got GT1/DIS44 working finally with the Carsoft interface.





      Also managed to buy a new set of tyres which fit a lot better and allow me to turn full lock without touching. Which will allow me to have the car certed. Yay.
      My spare set of LMs with FK-452 18x8.5 on 225/35r18




      Going to send this set in to have curb rash removed and cleaned up a tad. then its time to roll the fenders and lower. I currently have the shocks wound up to the hardest setting to reduce travel .. its solid as s**t and not much fun on the back however will put this back once fenders are rolled. Its gonna be tight but worth it I think. Also note stack of sacrificial rubber :ph34r:

            What did you do to get the GT1 software working on the CarSoft dongle?

                  However 6k US is cheaper than the 10-15k the US has to pay normally for euro M engines. But yeah I get what you mean .. it still aint no free lunch by any means.
                  No one in the US is spending $10k on a euro s50. Prices here are in the 6-8 range, depending on miles & what transmission you're getting with it.

                          Do you guys actually tow with those cars? Because those ball hitches look wwaaayyyy out of place on such clean cars.

                            Some updates:
                            Fuel system added (before hampton actually) but heres a shot of it anyways.
                            Specs: normal pre-fl tank feeds the external accumulator (high volume, low pressure) feeds a 2 liter surge tank which inturn feeds the Walbro 500hp (low volume, high pressure 5 bar++) pump (not pictured as its underneath).
                            The 2 liters is a bit over kill but also acts as a nice reserve if the accumulator would ever to fail.
                            Accumulator and primer is wired in a relay and then to the DME so when EWS enables engine start .. both pumps fire a primer of gas through the lines. It leaves the pumps on the security system which is nice :)


                            And an interior shot so far.
                            mostly stock, e36 window switches and e34 leather hand brake (e brake) grip.
