Thought it was time to hang up my RPI mufflers and pair up the Rouge engineering X pipe with the race Eisenmann mufflers
Plus went gold with the rims.

Garage was getting out of hand with two Mazdas, added a BMW back into the mix. AWD, 6MT

kaybat · 11-07-2018, 06:07 PM

I finally put on the bavauto color emblems. their just decals, but i think they look cool (its the little things :-)

Stevej2316 · 11-07-2018, 06:25 PM

A little caliper tlc

KevinC · 11-07-2018, 10:29 PM

I don't even have the car yet (should be here in about 2 weeks from the east coast), but I've ordered and received...

- new genuine cocomats, black with grey dots
- new OEM antenna - car currently has a stubby, no good out here in the sticks
- new OEM lighted shift knob - currently has a ZHP knob, which is nice, but I prefer the longer neck of the stock knob, plus the lighted gear pattern is a nice plus
- lightning-to-aux cable so that I can use my iPhone on the aux input
- E46 M3 shock tower plastic covers, cosmetic goodie that is cheap and looks clean

I closed the deal on the car on Sunday outside Philly. It was as advertised and if anything was even more impressive in person than I expected. Space Gray '08, 34k miles, pampered existence, fully documented history back to 1200-mile service. Paid about $10k less than EAG would have asked for the same car, had Eric dug it up before I did. Will be on a truck either Friday or next week. Can't wait to get her home.

Got it right on the 3rd attempt. Don't bother with eBay and stuff just get the one for the Mini from BMW.

I am still waiting for the front spoiler. If it was not for the limited parts availability for our cars, I don't know if I would do it again.

Their stuff is not cheap and when you get it, they give you five pages of flaws in the work as a disclaimer. As a side note, none of their carbon fiber products are clear coated.

Ding the fog lights behind the lower grill. May I ask where you found them?

I added some LED fog lights too but attached them to my grill

The total cost was about 2k which was about the same as replacing them. I love it

Very nice!!
Where can I find this places information?
I'm in California
Great mod!!!!

I think I can see the gauges and can surmise that you procured the M Roadster with the ESS Supercharger and all of the other goodies?

Congratulations it looked like a very well sorted car that was lavished with attention.

primm907 · 11-21-2018, 08:06 PM

Ha! Good eye, @deemo319. You are correct. The car is super clean, and I'm really happy with it so far. It just needs to be driven. I plan to rectify that issue.

If you are comfortable talking about your car I highly suggest telling the forum about it. I think we would like to hear the story about it, the dealer and the drive home. Basically the whole experience.

And yes, I am jelly and can admit it.

Enjoy

The original guys who did it are not around anymore, but the company that makes all the internals is called retro fit source in Atlanta. We swapped out the projectors, rings and added the LEDs. I had to add additional resistors to slow the turn signals down. They are super bright and I added the fog lights for night track events.

KevinC · 11-23-2018, 10:21 PM

Today I picked up a Duracell Group 48 AGM battery to replace the ORIGINAL battery in my car. 4-year full replacement warranty from Batteries+Bulbs. I'll slap that puppy in there tomorrow and if I get even half the life out of it that the factory battery provided, I'll be a very happy camper.

Stevej2316 · 11-24-2018, 09:06 AM

Painted the cross bars under the hood.

Well done.

winnipegz4m · 11-30-2018, 11:39 AM

Just put myself down for an Autosolutions SSK in Ronald's next build run, and bought a set of Rogue Engineering neoprene transmission mounts.

Need to add a clutch stop.

When those are installed in the spring when it comes out of storage, I'll do the CDV removal as well.

So - when all of that is done, I'll consider shifting to be "complete."

Next on the list - better sounding mufflers! RE Diablo, Stromung, or Remus...?
