So I messed around with the ride height a little today.

did you ever have a white eta? I bought a white eta from a friend. Had a bunch of neon green paint on random shit just like yours. He said the last owner had done it. Hadnt seen anything like it until your car...

Nope, never. I've had this grey 325is and a black vert 325i

This things so bad ass. How much boost are you running? 9? 14? lol

Not much has been done in a month. Spaced out the rear wheels 5mm more, rewired the AFM, and ground down some more paint.

Glad to see the gauge panel worked out for you! Looks and sounds great man

I saw this car at Daytona in the paddock last weekend.. I knew I'd seen it on the forums. Looks quick!

Took two more videos after some AFM adjustment. Still need to refine some things, but it's quick! Excuse the terrible shifting, I just got approved to drive.

Fuck yeah the boost gauge looks nice sittin there ;)

I'd vote oil temp, that way you know when the oil's warm enough to start beating on the car

So I have been healing up fairly quickly. I have a good amount of mobility back in my arm, here's a more recent picture. Sorry for the large pictures in advance, my smarter smart phone broke the day before I broke my arm.



^^ That's from where they operated to put in the plates. I have one scar on each side of the arm. I haven't let this break slow me down though! My roommate was able to get his TA to weld my junkyard bov flange onto my charge pipe, allowing me to finally have some sort of pressure release valve.


I tightened the valve all the way, but it still leaked. So I ordered an ebay knock off of the Greddy Type-RS blow off valve. I haven't had it in the car yet because the flange is a different size than my current one:puppy:


I also ordered up a 4 gauge center vent panel from r3v member jaywood. It arrived very quickly, I would recommend him if you need any panels! Now that I had the panel I needed some stuff to fill it up with...so I ordered an oil pressure gauge and a real boost gauge!


I wired up the gauges Friday and installed the oil pressure sending unit last night & everything works! Now I just need to fill that fourth hole; I'm debating EGT vs water temp. Or if anyone knows something better, feel free to suggest it.

I have a few things coming in the mail ;)
