@hot-j, im thinking of getting dual oil coolers, i was wondering how these affected oil warm-up times, as i understand it, the oil coolers don't kick in until the thermostat tells the system to yes? i'm worried with all the short driving times/distances i have that the oil would never get up to temp with dual oil coolers, also how was the fit?

I really like your modifications list!
How do you find the stock M rear diff? I really dislike it, to the point I query keeping the car much longer/spending money on it at all. I think the chassis and engine are capable, and a good honest 6 speed manual gives a pure driving experience, but the unpredictable locking/unlocking of the visco-lok centre in the diff is truly horrible. I'm torn between going balls deep on it and installing a plated LSD, and doing coilovers etc, but then it's a pricey/rare car and modifying it heavily ruins any collectibility it may have had... props to you for just getting it done, I'm far less decisive |

I've been eye balling a Titan Traction Master for awhile. The street manners of the carbon disks were spectacular in my friend's e46; no noise or other bad habits that I've experienced with the no carbon variants. I if could find the time to that and somehow shoehorn a VAC ultimate clutch on my car...... I think it'd be just about perfect

The clutch is something that I'll wanted to replace since I've owned the car. However, there aren't any decent options, thus I've stayed stock. My hope is that something suitable comes along for the M3/M4, same transmission and I also believe the flywheel bolt patterns are similar. That should provide a few better options for those of us that want performance without the compromise of a motorsport clutch. I'll drop Tilton a line and see if it would be possible to get a kit put together for the 1M.

Everything for the suspension is finally in. The rear is now PLANTED. Accelerating out of turns is the most impressive. I am still dialing down the shock settings trying to find the optimal balance but this endeavor was well worth it.

I am local literally the next town over plus I have many mutual friends with Dan, so it was very quick. A week or so? I know he is SWAMPED at the moment, AND about to go on his Honeymoon, so if you guys do place an order, be patient with him.
