Hi there,
So after 3 s13´s, 1 AE86, and a couple other RWD´s...i finally got a E36 M50B25 (vanos) Bimmer...
Im a bit ignorant of bmw´s, but with all ur help, im sure will have a pretty decent one =)
So this is what it looked like when i bought it:
Pretty much looks like any other bimmer...so i´ve been looking up Mods to add from here and there, i´ve looked some of you guys projects and started to buy some Mods and kinda DIY some others =)
So here we go...
-Made a Heatshield box and got a more free flow intake filter
-Bought a more agressive chip for the ECU from ebay (I know it´s rubbish, but no tim€ for Dyno now =P )
Still i m quite sure it helped the car.
-had a few problems with my stock fuel pump, so i got me a Walbro 255lph to replace it, just in case i go Turbo someday lol
-I Fabricated these Strut bars for my bimmer with my mate, they don´t look as cool as the Aftermarket ones, but they were alot cheaper, ill tell you that, and they definitely do the job =)
Front:
Rear:
They are painted mate black now.
- Got rid of shitty shocks and spings that came with the car and got me a TA TECHNIX Coilovers Kit, (Red Springs, apparently stiffer?)
- Also added a few spacers on the Hubs for more Camber in the front (No plates so far)
- Got Spacers for the steering as well and had the arms machined to get 10mm spacers in it =)
Now it really "locks" hehe (Will post photo latter with full lock)
And looks alot nicer now, low =)
- Dished steering wheel
- E39 15" Wheels (For now)
- Ofcourse the Diff is already Welded for better drifting
- got a DE-CAT on the exhaust pipes.
- Converted the Dual-Mass flywheel to a "Lightweight" M20 Single-Mass one, with Reenforced Clutch, for those Agressive clutch kicks hehe
- Bought a Sabelt bucket seat with 4 points harness (Not fitted yet, but getting there)
- Started to trim all the fat from it in the trunk...
i think it´s about that for now...
Next mods in list:
- Hydro E-brake
- 16" Wheels
- 25mm Spacers
- Get bucket seat on place
- Use and abuse it on CPD (Portuguese Drift Championship) =D
Ok guys, now i need some comments on what i did, and what would you advise me on doing to make it faster, stroger and stiffer hehe
