UPDATE: 1M build thread & formal intro

Plautos · 06-29-2013, 10:42 AM

Nice car!
How much weight did your car lost removing the OEM seats?

You was happy with the BMW Recaro seats? They offer better support than stock seats? And about comfort? They worth the upgrade?

Thanks

I have to comment again, this car is seriously amazing. Really well done and very different.

I'm going to follow your recommendation and contact car-diff for the harness bar.

Please post more photos

love the accent color. Got any new updates?

Very beautiful! The green adds a delicious touch! It tells you there is insanity coursing through this car's veins! Well done my friend! We got many Pictures. Now for a walk around video or some track time! *drools*

unfortunately no visual updates.
however, i recently just had the rear axle modified (full locking mechanical diff - unlike the factory diff which seems like it has to make up its mind whether it wants to assist you or not everytime you push the m button

). secondly, due to a new tune and higher torque readings i had to get a stronger clutch to replace the oem one. it now produces 410 bhp and 650 nm (thats 480 lb-ft)..

love the new pics my man! How wide did you go with the wheels? (Pls share tire sizes and if you have any rubbing issues)

Hi Ace

Regarding your seats did you have to code them in and install resistors for the side airbags?

Do you think 305 pss would fit in the rear without rubbing?
