Thanks

Yep, actually I have a Slek front cf lip ready to fit, but need to spend abit of time fitting it properly & securely, the undertrays are slightly out, due to the ER oil coolers pushing the liners out slightly.. will get it fitted over the winter months.

Your car is truly an inspiration.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

NickDHdfc · 11-12-2015, 02:48 PM

Wow this is amazing!

Solo_M_Tech · 11-12-2015, 04:49 PM

HOLY YES! Space grey is the best freaking color ever! mad respect on the build!

Quick update, finally got my rear alcon kit fitted, a direct replacement kit now available from Alcon, 4piston caliper with 343mm disc. (very similar to the 335i rear kit), but this fits direct 135i hubs as they are 10mm deeper..

Matching fronts : (6pot 365mm disc) exact same as 335i front kit.

Now the quest for more power begins.. with stage 2 turbos..

you got any more info on how you modded the driveshaft to mate with the m3 lsd

Yes, the flange from a E39 540i prop shaft fits the e92 m3 lsd and then you use the frontend of your original 135i prop, and then get them extended/welded together at a prop specialist.

Or the easiest option is to find an oem 1M prop, but that's very rare!

the 1M is a n54 with the transmission that the n55 has. so if i had an n55 the 1M prop would work. but since i have n54 i have to make custom unfortunately.

i have the m3 shaft so i have the flange. was kind of looking more for like total length of the custom shaft. or like a picture of where yours was welded.

Tinsta · 01-22-2016, 09:13 AM

sorry don't have pics of the weld work, as it was done by specialist.

Total prop length should be 1325mm, fit the m3 lsd and then measure from there.

Some recent pics from a trackday, have made a few more modifications now, running a set of lighter 18" BBS FI's 9.5 et18 & 10.5 et22.
Also added a titanium stud conversion kit, the older stainless ones were getting crusty and were heavy. Changed the exhaust to a Akrapovic Evolution system with wireless valve - Lightweight exhaust sounded lovely, but just too loud for the tracks here. Akra resolves that nicely, with the titanium tips it looks great!

Really love the stance and look of the car now, certainly gets alot of attention when driving.

Kturbos · 06-13-2017, 04:43 PM

Cant See Pics!!!

Esteban · 06-13-2017, 05:21 PM

There those pics are.

Wow! Whatta car!

Yeineken · 06-13-2017, 05:54 PM

I'll take one in BSM...

Kturbos · 06-15-2017, 06:25 PM

Work. Of. Art. I was putting off the 1M conversion... Now I think I am going to have to get into it soon.

Tinsta · 06-16-2017, 03:13 PM

Thanks for the comments guys.

Was at Silverstone circuit yesterday on a hot sunny day, the ER oil coolers worked a treat, hit a max of 110degrees on track. Still feels wallowy ontrack, think some stiffer springs will help keep it more neutral and level.

Tinsta · 11-01-2017, 11:36 AM

Some up to date pics..
