They're certainly very yellow :)

 

I hope they will stay like that! I like the yellow color; this is a 6 Series in the same color as our car.

 

Nice dude, nice camber on the second photo too :lol:

Are you going to track the car?

 

Thanks. Oni camber FTW! Nah, but it's got now, like, a hair more than -0,5 degrees of negative camber on both axles and it looks nice. Front could do more to further reduce understeer - this can be easily achieved with the "alignment pin mod" and E92 M3 control arms but we're not going that far.

 

As for track days (bro), nah. I'd like to do Nürburgring and Spa one day, but I'm too much anal about the car to trash it around circuits. The reason why we went the coilover route is that the stock suspensions was pretty much garbage and the ride height was too high. Roads here are awful, the car was jerking around and too soft when driven fast on good surface. It seems that almost all of this is now gone. And all 135i's with aftermarket springs (H&R, Eibach, Swift) have too much positive rake due to the heavier engine - essentially some of the springs don't even lower the rear end.

Very nice! You're also going to add the 2x1 endpipes I assume? How rare or common are white E's like yours over there? Here in holland I only managed to see one for sale, and even in Germany there aren't many of em in white.

 

Does your government not allow plates in other dimensions? It looks weird with that USA trunk lid xD Either that or install a european trunklid... if you can find one in white.

yes i am adding 2x1 i am making custom exhaust so we could not finish it for today, tomorrow it will be ready and installed on car :) then i will ad 2x more like AMG, in my country there is many white MBs here :))

my government allows other dimension plate but it is even worse then this one :D

i am going to take of that nickel number plate holder and then will be only plate, it will be more nice than now :)

Is that not a 2nd gen impreza in the far right? :cheeky:

 

And Margebadze, seriously CANNOT believe how much a small thing such as a 5% changed bumper can change the look of a car, it looks great! It sounds great too :) I don't think I'd have wanted it as loud myself but you can't deny it sounds amazing.

Speaking of exhausts, I have a new one from engine block to tip.

New extractors to full length 3" piping, 200 cell high-flow cat, Flowmaster Super 44, Apexi N1 cannon.

 

Couldn't start it up yet, still waiting on a few oil return lines and fittings. Can't wait to actually hear it.

Shouldn't be too bad, should be a bit quieter than my old exhaust hopefully. You had to yell at each other while driving with that thing on.

I'm disappointed in Calster's lack of activity. I thought he'd post some photos...

 

Whatever, have some photos of our recent trip over to the west coast (of Scotland).

I really need to do some work on the car this coming weekend. I boiled the brake fluid good and proper on our trip, and the front engine mount is getting unbearable (I've had a replacement engine mount sitting in a drawer for about 6 months now... whoops).

Took the FRS to autocross not to long ago. It was my fourth event and to not be last is pretty big at this point. I'm not near the limit of my talent quite yet as I feel I can gain some time here and there, although new tires would be help a lot. Now I just gotta get past all these Miatas. :fp: I'm number 586 btw. And ignore the times on the very right, I'm not entirely sure what those are for. The first 4 are the actual runs.

And hanging with a couple friends. :smig:

You have a fantastic name, Clayton :nods: Are you still on the stock "Prius" tyres? :hmmm:

Yep stock tires. They squeal like a pig but may as well destroy them before new tires. And thanks! :cheeese:

 

Nothing like taking part in grassroot's motorsports. :)

Always a smile and ton's of banter to be had, I've never been high up when I've done it (track days & drag) but I don it for the experience and fun. :)

Yeah thats what I love about it. Good times with good people every time. And just pushing the car to the limit and getting in a cheeky drift here and there and not get in trouble is fantastic.
