In the low left corner you see something blue. That is a extremely nice E30 M3 Sport Evo.

ESS Supercharger kit
Wanted more power out of my 2.2 Since ESS is Norwegian, it was an easy choice to go with a supercharger from them. The TX kit was fitted with an centrifugal supercharger and it also included a intercooler. With this setup, the car had 235hp on the wheels, it was fast, but wanted more So I got the Stage2, that included new software(200rpm higher redline), new supercharger wheel and belt(0,15 bar higher pressure), and the ESS exhaust muffler(much better flow). On the dyno the car suddenly had 264hp on the wheels. In other numbers, over 300hp from a 2.2 Remember the 2.2 is only 1250kg, so power to weight ratio is near a Z4M

K-Sport brakes
330mm floating discs in the front and rear. 8piston caliper front and 6piston rear. Included brake pads for roads use and steel brakelines. When the supercharger was fitted I needed bigger brakes, so my choice was K-sport. The price was really nice, and I loved the color on the calipers They have just been great to me, big improvement over the standerd ones.

H&R Swaybar kit
27mm front and 21mm rear Delivered with polyurethane bushings Wanted this ones to ruduce the body roll of the car in turns. When it was fitted, it was a big improvement on the cars ride, good comfort and less bodyroll.

Polyflex bushings
Mounted polyflex bushings in all controll arms. These bushings gave more response to the cars chassis. On the downside it ride more harsh.

Eisenmann Soundrohr
To get more sound on high revs I mounted the eisenmann soundrohr. They replace the middle muffler for more sound and saves weight. Deeper sound on idle and more pitchy sound on high revs

Never heard of the Soundohr, does it add any drone? What is the diameter of the piping, and is it any different from welding in a straight pipe?

No its no different from welding in a straight pipe. The pipes is the same size as the original size of the Z4 exhaust. But its stainless steel and adjusted to fit right on with flanges

Carbon Splitters
Since I allready had tryed to make carbonfibre splitters for the Aerobumper, I tryed again for the M bumper The splitters I used is an replica from E46 GTR. I got them from an local dealer in Norway, but its possible to get them elsewhere... I cutted the splitters to fit the bumper, and they suits the shape of the M bumper very well. After that I grinded and sanded the edges that I cut for a nice finish. This is not that important, because its hard to see this part of the splitter(Wanted it perfect) And last screwed the splitters to the bumper underside.. On the picture you can see where its cutted. I used the short end of the splitter for my bumper.

Btw to answer your other question, drone is just noise/vibration that transmits into the interior/cabin. |

ESS Exhaust muffler with custom 4 tailpipes
ESS exhaust muffler in stainless steel Gives 9whp on the dyno with TX supercharger kit(Because of lower backpressure and better flow) I got this exhaust with the ESS Stage2. Gave more power, less weight and a deeper sounding Engine noise. It was first mounted with the aerokit rear bumper, but after my second bumper conversion, the M bumper, I had to give it 4 tailpipes. So I kept the muffler and got a exhaust specialist to weld it after my specification The tailpipes was fittet to suit the shape of the M bumper (And yes the M-emblem is on)
