Dropped my S54 headers, N52 exhaust flanges, an AC compressor, and some 40mm stainless tubing with a local acquaintance from R3VLimited. He's going to tack up the headers to the flanges and modify the #1 primary to clear the AC compressor (he has an N52 block and 6-speed that he's going to install into his Volvo 122S / BMW E30 Frankenstein, so he has a jig to work with).

Coral Red interior a year and a half in the making is finally complete.
I had ordered a hard-to-find Coral Red/Sport/Non-power complete interior from a popular BMW dismantler back in 2022. Unfortunately, they did a poor job palletizing it and the passenger door panel was damaged beyond my skills to repair. I had swapped the seats only, but left in my black door panels since I didn't have a complete, usable red set. Someone who doesn't know BMWs probably wouldn't know the difference, but it always bugged me. Passenger window regulator died so I needed to pop off the door panel anyway, so I found a set of front-only Coral Red panels on ebay to finally complete the swap.

Took my 1er to the BMW CCA HDPE at Pacific Raceways yesterday. First time I've been on track, so it was ... educational
Car did great, other than it turns out I made the wrong decision in not going with race fluid for the brakes. I knew it was a roll o' the dice, but I didn't figure I'd be doing enough heavy braking often enough at PIR to need it. I was wrong. Kept losing the brakes going into turn 2A after 4-5 hot laps – taking it easy for a lap got them back to "good enough" for another hot lap, but that was it. Lesson learned. As for the driver upgrade, there was significant progress throughout the day. I figured out 2A/2B well enough to consistently not get it *all* wrong, found a great flow through 5A, 5B, and 6, and now know that I need to work a lot on 3A/3B next time. I had a little off in 3B in the very last session of the day when I was experimenting with taking 3A/B in 2nd, but otherwise made it through without incident. I've been wanting to do a track forever, but just never got around to it. So glad I can finally check that box, but of course that's not the end of it. Way too much fun to just do once. |

Yesterday I had a FMIC and downpipe installed to complete my 'FBO.' Flashed to stage 2+. I didn't have time to drive it much afterwards so today was my first real test.
OMG. This! This is how the car should have come from the factory. The sound. The fury. So, so good! Absolutely love it! |

My favorite spot for spectating is the edge of the (old) grandstands right at turn 9 and now that I know how it feels to go through there and even get it right a few times, I love it even more: You can see the braking zone after 7, the line taken through 8 and 9, then feel the proximity to the wall and then down the front straight. My favorite stretch as a driver, though, at least for now, are 5a/b through 6; getting the car settled into 5a for the dab on the brakes and turn-in to b, then hitting 6 just right and up the hill... |

Spent the weekend getting car prepped for AutoX/HPDE season.
Upcoming: M3 control arms, brake pads and rotors, SSBLs, 3 stage intake, starter, power steering reservoir, OFHG. While underneath, lots of oil (not all that surprising), think I'll need oil pan gasket soon. Quick drive and really impressed with suspension changes and transmission. |

Got the shroud made to seal up the IC nicely with the 1m bumper. Conversion almost complete now! Took a couple ideas from fe1rx so thanks for the build thread!
