Excellent build thread. That splitter is good inspiration for something that I have plans to build. Glad the DIY BOV mod is working out for you.

It's been a while. I haven't done much with the car since my last update besides an oil change or two. Life has been busy. I bought a house with an awesome, huge garage (surround sound ceiling speakers, air compressor with hose outlets everywhere, 220v, insulated, TV, fridge, storage space, etc.)

Anyways, I just ordered a bunch of parts. I've decided to drive the car through winter again this year. I'll post pictures once everything has been delivered.

Breaking my build thread rules and posting a cell phone picture...



But, this should make up for it...

Awesome garage and awesome night shot. Did you have to pull the downpipes when you did your clutch.

Thanks, and no, the downpipes stayed on.

Last winter was great with my 17" General Altimax Arctics. Sold those because I didn't think I'd be driving in snow again.

Bought some GT Radial WinterPro tires this time around. Got a new set for $300 shipped. Fingers crossed!

So I did a thing last night. Before vs. after, finally got rid of the ugly halogen angel eyes.

I picked up an awesome daily this weekend!

2005 325xit with 133k. 5-speed, all-wheel drive, sport package, cold weather package, lowered on Bilsteins and H&R springs with an extra set of winter wheels/tires.

Tons of maintenance reciepts, original window sticker, only owned by 2 enthusiasts. Really happy with it.

With that said, the 1-series will be put away for the winter. If anyone needs a set of e82 wheels with brand new snow tires, let me know.

...and no, I didn't paint checkers on my hood. That's the reflection from the garage ceiling.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I'll experiment with some matte Plastidip over winter.

Exciting news! I just bought the following:
- Precision Raceworks inlets
- VRSF 7" intercooler
- VRSF charge pipe
- TIAL blow off valve
- Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors and pads
- Motul brake fluid
- Pair of 265/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports

When I do the brakes, I plan on painting the calipers gold or something.

I also bought and installed new injectors (index 12), coils, and plugs a few weeks ago. Pretty sure I had a leaky injector, but this should keep all the misfires away. This is what $1,000 on a stainless steel table looks like.

The quality on the Precision Raceworks inlet kit is amazing! I'd highly recommend and can't wait to install all of this stuff.

How's the sound with the inlets? Is there noticeably louder spool? How does it feel before and after?

I haven't started the car yet. I just buttoned everything up last night, but didn't have any coolant on hand. I'll be grabbing coolant after work today and bleeding the system.

If the weather isn't bad, hopefully I can fire it up tonight. We're supposed to get 7-14" of snow tonight, so I don't think I'll be going anywhere!

I should be able to report back with an update in a week or two.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread. Things that are different since my last post:
  • Snapped an axle at the drag strip during 4K RPM 2-step clutch dump. Replaced with $65 used axle from local junkyard. It's been fine since.
  • Windshield cracked and has since been replaced. Safelite managed to screw something up because the rain sensing wipers don't work anymore.
  • Passenger window made a loud popping noise and dropped to the bottom of the door. Wouldn't go up. I replaced the regulator and all is good.
  • The plastic housing on my water pump developed a hairline crack. Slow coolant leak, so I replaced it with a new unit and thermostat.
  • I'm going to the NoFlyZone Midwest 1/2 mile roll racing event in 10 days. Signed up for both days, can't wait!
  • Still beating up n00bs from a 60 roll.
