Yeah, I see your stock calipers are still the stock gray color.

I "baked" mine to an olive green before my ceramic pistons crumbled away to nothing. But no complaints as I absolutely love my Stop Techs!

yeah, the mods never end! I do need a BBK. I'm hoping with this round of the build I'll get that and a ton of other stuff

[Sk8fe]

You can see the "baked" olive green color in post #20 & #21.

Update your thread and let me know what mods are in the works for 2014.

Done not ready to give too much away, but she will be looking quite different next year if all goes according to plan

[Sk8fe]

Cool. Good luck.

Hey sk8fe-

I noted you want an ER oilcooler. I have a brand new ER competition dual OilCooler kit still in the box. I didn't install it because I'm doing a motor swap. I'll hook you a good deal if you want it.

If he doesn't want it I'll take it!

Cool thanks. Yeah, I'm up for that. PM me.

(Sorry for the delay, I don't know why sometimes I get emails from this site that threads I subscribe to are updated and other times I do not. I did not this time; glad I checked...)

It's funny how life throws you curveballs and that we all have to play the cards that we are dealt. If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward this link to them. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Gluck with sale homie!

the only appropriate reply:

[Sk8fe]

Ha! Nice. Thanks.

Hopefully the next owner can finish the 1M rear conversion and drop in an M3 V8. Those were my plans for her.

great minds think alike - sad your selling her.

[Sk8fe]

You know they say, "there are two sides to every coin", but when they fall onto the table rarely do they ever stand on edge with both sides as equals -- one side usually wins out.

I swear after all this I am going to get the word "HALF" tattooed on the fingers of my right hand!

pretty car. my brother and I were looking at 1's for the near future and we were both checking out your car for the 1m front only modification. sad to see you will not be doing any more updates on her. hope she goes to a good home.

GL with the sale.

[Sk8fe]

Looks like the BMW car-gods are telling me that I am to hold on to my whip for a while longer, so this winter I hope to complete the 1M rear conversion and next Spring/Summer will be time for larger turbos and SERIOUS power pro-tune.

[questionable]

Pm sent mate

[DTR]

congrats on the change of heart... looking forwards to seeing the full transformation

Yesss

Nice!!

[Sk8fe]

This year has been crazy! Insanely busy; only managed one track event this year (New Year resolution: never let that happen again and get out to the track more often!) and honestly lost my way with my 1 earlier this year (one of those smack in the back of the head moments), but...

Pushing all of my chips into the middle of the table and going ALL-IN!

Took advantage of some Cyber Monday deals and the holidays arrived a little early for the 1.

Got two 18" APEX ARC-8 (18x10.5) to match my existing wheels for the rear for when I complete the 1M rear conversion (hopefully in a March time frame) for the sticky track rubber.


And a set of 19" APEX PS-7's (19x9.5 Front; 19x10.5 Rear) for the street with summer tires.


Yep. 6 wheels in all.

[Sk8fe]

Car is currently at the shop to get the MOTIV Motorsport 750 kit installed.

Then in March
1M Rear conversion
RevZport CF front splitter w/ brake ducts, rear wing and rear diffuser
BRracing rear strut/harness bar
Sparco Pro2000 seats installed.
