    Replaced timing chain and cam gears.

    Replaced fuel filter.
    Cleaned all carbon from pistons and hot-tanked head.
    Deleted throttle body heater and the mess of intake vacuum lines.
    Replaced vacuum lines to valve cover and ICV.

    Deleted radiator clutch fan and replaced with a dual stage Volvo radiator fan.


    HANDLING:

    INTERIOR:
    Replaced all switches with better condition switches
    Replaced some interior trim items.
    I rerofitted an SRS check panel from a 325iS so it works in the 318iS for SRS and seatbelt warnings.

    Added BMW Premium tweeters in the sail panels.

          Found some small 1" L-channel plastic from hardware store. Fit it, cut it, painted and then 3M taped it in place.
          Cheaper than Euro grills and not as huge as the standard eyebrows.

                                C3 Motorsport coilover kit using 450/750 lb Eibach race springs

                                -Erik
                                That´s 450lb at the front and 750lb at the rear, right?
                                I´m currently using 350lb at the front of my 18iS, but i´m thinking in running some "test´s" with stiffer spring rates.
                                Did you tested other spring rates before you decided for that one?
                                Cheers.
