EMKOOP's Photo Journal

EMKOOP · 12-19-2016, 04:44 PM

As many fine members before me has done.. I am starting my own thread to document and share the progression/transformation of my pride and joy.

Looking forward to learning from everyone as it is truly a blessing we have this forum as a platform to unite our love for these beautiful machines!

Picked up my 06 Black Sapphire coupe after a half year hunt and so the journey begins...

Bilstein PSS10 Coilover System

Ground Control Street Camber Plates

Ground Control Street Rear Shock Mounts

Recently installed and waiting for the setup to settle in... Current ride height at 13.5F/13.65R measured from the fender liner to the center of the wheel cap. 0.5" rake as measured from the rocker panel to the ground just after the front wheel and before the rear wheel. Will try the PSS10 dampening at the stock settings of 5F/5R to begin with and make changes from there on out.

Disclaimer: For those looking to slam your ride, PSS10 is NOT the system for you.

1) Adjustment does not allow for excessive drops
2) Valving of shocks work best at functional ride heights

I tend to pinch myself every time I look through your thread everything is just so on point

Evolve Automotive CSL Style 2x2 Carbon Fiber Airbox

Epic Motorsports Alpha N Calibration

Some basic tools along with a little bit of researching on m3forum.net would be adequate to tackle this DIY job yourself (Also helps when there are awesome forum members who came to my rescue as I was stuck on an issue at the car -> http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1329312)

Randy@Epic was an absolute pleasure to deal

Nothing but high praises for this man who patiently answered every question I've thrown at him and was always there to gladly help and back up his company's product.

The S54 has truly came alive with the Alpha N and that induction noise is just

Vanne · 12-22-2016, 08:23 PM

Looking forward to what you have planned. Excellent progress so far.

inTgr8r · 12-22-2016, 08:49 PM

Bluewave SS Exhaust w/ Stadt Ti Tips

I can report that there is no drone whatsoever with this exhaust as the hemholtz resonator design does its job rather marvellously

2 different finishing options are available for the titanium tails:

1) Burnt Titanium
2) Matte Silver Titanium

I opted for the matte silver version keeping things clean to go along with the overall scheme I have planned for my coupe.

XMetal · 03-31-2017, 06:23 PM

Exhausts looks great - got a sound clip? How loud is it? Didn't even know these existed for our cars
