any updates on this?

Still haven't sorted the tps issues, testing throttle pedal today. Front tps tested ok.

I also ripped a hole in my exhaust pulling the car off the trailer yesterday.

Frustrating! damn, how thin is the wall on the exhaust pieces you got?!

:P Found your thread

Oh haii!

Thanks to you and everyone else at Markert for all your help last weekend, I know you guys were busy and you went out of your way to help me out. I really appreciate it, I'll be spreading the good word (not like you guys need it!)

how are things moving along?

I've been waiting for brake parts, had the wrong rotors at first and the other day I found an awesome deal on ebay for some PFC Direct Drive 2pc rotors, $500/ea new and I got them for $300 shipped. A little dirty but they'll work

Getting really really close

I love what you're doing with the place, but am a little bummed you'll be cutting your fenders.
Your car is so straight!

[Jb325is]

I haven't yet, but yeah, I wish there was a way around it. There is a chance I might be able to get the M-systems under the rear without cutting with this 5 lug setup, the front will be tricky though with the 12mm extra track width from the spindle sleeves. 17x8 ET8 with 245's

Where did you source that borla resonator? Or is it a muffler?

[gills]

nice find on the rotors!

What about the engine? Did you resolve the issue?

[Jb325is]

The car has been on stands for the last week or so, and I can't replicate the issue in the air. Nando sent me a new flash and I'm going to try that when I get the brakes installed.

That's irritating. Def keep us posted!

It's a muffler, I got it from Summit. I need more, the car is stupid loud

[Jb325is]

Drove it finally, just troubleshooting and didn't rev over 6k, but it feels like its going to be really quick. Planning on swapping rear 5 lug this weekend and getting it on the road!

Test fitting the M-systems, with and without covers

That's 17x8 ET8 with 245/40, can't wait to fit the 9's onto the rear

[Jb325is]

Finally found some brake stuff that's going to work.

e30 trailing arms, new e30 bearings, e30 m3 hubs, e46 294x19 rotors (I think they were e46 325i), and e39 540i aluminum calipers. 17x9 ET22 with 245/40
