        Still no standalone yet...starting to regret buying from K-data. Could have ordered and built a system faster than these dudes. Replies to my emails asking for tracking has been crappy. I was told it takes 2 weeks through DHL, and they would get back to me on tracking when they are back in the office...it's been 25 days since I ordered. With the holidays coming up there is a chance I wont even be in town if it does arrive...unit would be sitting on my door step for a week. I'm seriously considering a charge back.

            We'll it finally came in. Now I've got to get it updated, wired, and road tuned. I also need to get a clutch. I'll be on the lookout for a cheap m20 setup to handle the power. Stock clutch didn't last long.

                Yeah, I would have thought for the amount I paid in shipping it would have gone express instead of slow boat. Oh we'll it's here. Now to find a clutch setup and begin installing.

                  Made a new downpipe. The old one wasn't allowing the wastegate to fully open. This corrected quite a bit of boost spike/creep. Now my clutch is absolutely toast.





                  I found that my stock o2 sensor was bad causing the car to lean out. Removed it and ran the car in open loop. No detonation, no issues. Still sticking to the standalone, but at least I can still drive the car and attend some drift/auto-x events coming up.


                  Ordered/picked up the following...
                  M20 single mass FW
                  F1 racing stage 3 sprung clutch/pp
                  M20 FW bolts
                  TOB (going to use the spacer from the m42 FW and not use a 323 TOB)
                  OEM Subframe bushings
                  OEM RTAB
                  OEM rear swaybar bushings
                  OEM rear swaybar links
                  Whiteline 24mm front swaybar lateral links
                  AKG weld in front swaybar reinforcements
                  AKG weld on m3 strut mounted swaybar links
                  Garagistic adjustable m3 front swaybar links
                  AKG rear swaybar reinforcement plates
                  AKG rear trailing arm reinforcement plates

                  Now I'm trying to source an m20 starter locally. Unfortunately, I have some obligations and cant spend the extra $100 on a reman Bosch unit. :(

                  Will post pics sometime in the next few weeks.

                    Why waste the time installing an m20 clutch setup? Or using the flywheel and doing a heavy pressure plate/disk?

                      This is inspiration for me to get a 318 and turbo the shit out of it. CL here I come.

                        Why not? Flywheel is lighter, bigger clutch for the torque, it's a cheap proven performance enhancement.

                        Its a blast! and still retains all the tossability of stock.

                          All the new bushings are in. Love oem! So much smoother and quieter than poly. Flywheel turned and lightened. Going to try and install the clutch/flywheel this weekend and if possible weld in all the reinforcement parts.

                                Some pics of how she currently sits. Might do a video soon as first auto cross is next weekend.










                                Now the reason this is taking me so long is school. Two years ago I decided I hated corporate America and quit my job. I've been in aviation school training to be a commercial pilot since. At this stage I'm doing a lot of cross country flying and my free time is slim :(

                                Can't complain though, I get to do this daily!
