Limey's E90: Daily Driver Evolved

Is there only 5 of us?

Thanks for the warning!

Limey · 08-11-2015, 11:39 PM

Every mod gets a mention. Premium sound speaker covers for a tad more contrast. PITA to install but straightforward. You have to remove the door panels.

I reckon about 10 globally although there's prob quite a few in Oz that don't show on the forums.

I've been following your build, and it has been pretty awesome. But those comments are completely wrong. Those bearings are EXTREMELY worn. You're not going to have any copper in your BS report or showing b/c, IIRC, there isn't any copper in the variant of bearings for your model year.

Keep in mind that they shouldn't be showing wear AT ALL, and those are *very. worn.* I'm glad you got them changed out

As for the squeaky seat situation, have you tried the dry silicone lubricant by Liquid Wrench? Sprays on dry, so no mess is involved.

Thanks. I know nothing about cars. Glad the old bearings are out. They just looked good compared to others I've seen. Thanks for the advice on the squeak. The sliders are off now, not just because of the squeak, but to lower the seats.

They do look better than others, true, but there shouldn't be wear, and the misconception that a little wear is better than a lot of wear.....

All that being said, I love the alcantara door pulls

With all the resources you're allocated for your car, I'm surprised you haven't gone Gintani TT yet

With all the resources I've allocated I can't afford one ha ha. Seriously though I'm not a turbo fan and I trust Harrop more than Gintani for reliability. And I had a connection.

More shiny bits for more contrast

RG m3 · 08-29-2015, 08:53 AM

Good looking m3. I love aw with wheels that are dark grey. I don't like black rims. I have gunmetal rac's on my aw e90 and absolutely love the look. Had 220m's before and would never go back. Just makes the car more agressive looking without being too much.

That Harrop supercharger looks high quality indeed. It is by far the cleanest and closest to oem that I have seen. I'm sure the extra power is nice. I know some people love the whine, but I'm not one of them. If I ever supercharge mine, it would have to sound as close to n/a as possible. I guess that leaves ESS and VF because they use a bypass valve and the Vortech blower seems pretty quiet. Hate the sound of bov's too.

Looks like you're having tons of fun modding you're car. That's what it's all about. I think you have great taste.

Enjoy responsibly!

I'm selling my wheels. Tires included. Who wants them?

Why my wheels are for sale....

Limey · 09-29-2015, 12:02 AM

Rays G07EX installed. Never thought my wheels would make my car look dirty. Will finish them darker soon.

"Sunshine Silver" is not my cup of tea but at least you can see the calipers now.

roastbeef · 09-29-2015, 01:26 AM

car is looking good. speeddistrict is having a few track events coming up at willow springs. you should come out, i'd love to see that thing on the track.

ashtaron14 · 09-29-2015, 02:21 AM

For some odd reason I feel that the car got younger

I know right. Like a virgin

a dark bronze powder coat should reclaim its mojo.

speeddistrict.com takes you straight to the upcoming events. its a great time and the weather should be great that time of year. i went last week and it was pretty damn hot.

Limey · 10-04-2015, 06:12 PM

Just cleaned up the wheel with the most curb rash and you just can't really see them.

Limey · 10-18-2015, 01:32 AM

Been busy lately but I'm back. More modding....

1. Turner test pipes are on. Sound amazing with the Remus. Great power gain, feels similar to my Challenge Sport X pipe re power gains but no rasp, just the slightest drone when windows are up, more deep and aggressive v8 muscle car rumble down low, but still a screamer up high. It's still loud as F@ck but otherwise I love it and it is pretty tame at low revs. Will post dyno and vid soon. Absolutely love this set up.

2. More interior upholstery inbound. Center console hopefully going in tomorrow. My sleeper upholstery guy is amazing. Just wish I could find LSB seat belts to finish off the interior. And just wish I had the will to remove the dash and upholster that bad boy. And the money. No doubt that would really finish it off.

On a side note and more interesting topic than my car, this forum has really quietened down lately. Am I the only one still enjoying my E90 enough to not want an F80?
