This is still technically 'stock' power too (130i). More gains to be had with a custom tune, headers and MILVs (the closest things to cams N52s will have).
The whole build is going by WAY faster than I thought it would. I've been busy hunting down deals and just keeping my eyes open. The main thing is to just not be afraid to drive somewhere. I drove 2 hours to buy the wheels, an hour for the manifold. |
Once you've hit the DISA manifold stage, it's kinda just sorting the car and balancing it all out (brake improvements, tightening suspension bits, rebuilding shifters).
After my being rear-ended, I'm torn between fixing the bumper (with a 1M replica) and possibly getting a custom exhaust out of it, or getting an LSD and then repairing my bumper myself as best as I can.
