Classy Sporty look, and not overdone!

Where did you get the diffuser and double muffler from?

Thanks

Diffuser is revozport. Beautifully made piece. The exhaust is custom made by my mechanic after the 1m battery tray mod

If u don mind me asking how much does a 1m conversion cost? U can pm me if u don't want to say a price on here.

ilikebmxbikes, venom or tony135 are probably better people to ask because they're in the states as well so parts/the dollar/shipping etc etc are more comparable...

Venom · 02-16-2014, 05:58 PM

Nice build!

ilikebmxbikes · 02-16-2014, 06:18 PM

car looks great - love the painted revozport hood in black

Thanks guys, your parts lists certainly came in handy! What offsets are you both running if you dont mind my asking? I bought overly aggressive wheels to start with not realising the 135i rear flange hubs are wider than the 1m. So i swapped the 130i flange hubs on. Then had to buy new rotor hats to make the rear BBK fit after that. Rears still scrubbed so then I had the wheels shaved. Still scrubbing ever so slightly so now Im trying the rogue adjustable rear camber links and switching my ST coilovers to ohlins r&ts with swift springs so it sits a bit higher and stiffer. Hopefully thatll do it at last! :P
Wheels are 19x11 et 29 atm

18x9.5et22 but it looks a bit sunk in. I still have at least 15mm of clearance to play with and I don't have that much camber dialed at the moment.

Curare86 · 04-18-2014, 08:36 PM

Now I finally have a weekend back home in Perth and some free time, I thought I'd post a few more pictures.
The car started life as a 2010 n55 6mt. I'd driven it for about a year and a half before I decided I'd like a little more power. Googling potential upgrades I came across the 1addicts site and became corrupted. At first I was planning to just buy a jb4 and leave it at that. Now, another 2 years down the line the current mods are:

ENGINE
jb4 N55 iso
coolingmist trunk meth tank
ER CP + FMIC
AR DP
Custom mids and quad exhaust by Ramp auto in Perth
BMS OCC
BMS CAI

SUSPENSION
Quaife LSD
all the m3 bits and pieces
Rogue engineering adjustable rear camber links running -2deg in the rear
Ohlins R+T coilovers with swift springs

nashin BBK
BC racing HBS02 wheels 19x9.5 et30fr, 19x11 et29 rear with PSS 265/30 and 295/30

BODY
lux v3 AE
blackline taillights
full 1m conversion (1m replacement rear quarters)
revozport hood and rear diffuser
lightweight front lip
CIC idrive retrofit
alcantara wrapped dash

Damn dude! Nice to see something like this downunder! Very nice job.

e90Nick · 04-18-2014, 10:52 PM

Would you recommend using the 1m replacement rear quarters or custom fabricating the rear fenders like venom and ilikebmxbikes?

ASPEC135i · 04-19-2014, 12:28 AM

Personally I would go with another set of wheels!

at the time, i didn't think of custom fab'ing metal fenders. I think that's probably just as good. Looking at the aftermarket kits, most of them use fiberglass replacements which I didn't like at all

fair enough. I love the concavity though

Prodigy. · 04-19-2014, 07:03 AM

Personally i love the wheels, very unique and different than the usual CSL style you always see.

Thanks mate, me too! Though if I had my way id probably have half a dozen sets to swap between haha. Find it so hard to make up my mind!

Kgolf31 · 04-20-2014, 11:01 AM

That car needs to be lower, the COG is just too high on 1ers, IMO.

Great build however, I'm running slightly stiffer springs than you on my 128 and love it.

If I could I would, but any lower and I rub too much.

Curare86 · 04-22-2014, 06:33 AM

ooh new exhaust tips just arrived in the mail today too, courtesy of cyba

the weave is perfect, but the crappy iPhone photo seems to have distorted it

Harlequin · 04-22-2014, 06:37 AM

Nice... I've considered a set of these myself. How many $$$?

Basketcase · 04-22-2014, 07:53 AM

Let's see some interior shots!!

Where did you get the seats? Install them and give us a review! Looking at a set myself!

Car is amazing man!
