Thanks

actually the car is at 450PS. The signal for the multi function display comes from the DME and ist near GPS signal.

Okidoki, thanks. And now I see that you have changed the diff also (bit confusing first before I noticed the head line...).

ECU tune? From where?

cheers

Final one: what is the reason for changing the diff rate? I guess it will provide a bit harder accelleration at lower speed, but is that it..?

Thanks

with the orig diff rate 9,4 100-200, with the 3,62 diff rate 9,0, thats the reason, and a pretty well working diff! DKG Software update required!!

now the winter project can begin, 4.5L Stroker engine with full carbon airbox and airintake directly from the front,...some impression from the last racetrack visit.

Man..you gotta really sexy car

Alpha_M · 10-06-2014, 10:14 AM

Wow. Blown awayyyy...

mtcenter · 10-13-2014, 12:51 PM

two weeks ago, i buy two S65 engines, one is knocked down and now comes the interesting part, which rods, which piston, how much polish the crank

the number must be placed after winter, 4.4cc

Very nice car! Seeing your real M3 seats makes me HATE that we didn't get the correct M3 lower seat section in the US. That white stripe on the leg support looks neat too.

fat american a**es for the win!

mtcenter · 12-13-2014, 03:39 AM

much more cooling for the new power plant

I didn't know the US seats differ from the EU seats? Can you elaborate?

V8FunNaturally · 12-14-2014, 12:27 PM

awesome thread ! a lot of interesting mods and bits of info.
Very performance oriented M3, CF exterior, all the OEM performance possible and beyond. Nice car !

Is that a horribly cracked and welded back performance MPE muffler ? wow. What you think OP, should i avoid buying one ?

Beautiful video with back window looking camera. There is no way we could enjoy scenery drives like this in the usa with that many people sharing the road, due to a bad general population driving safety and discipline (not to mention road rage). The USA driver license is a joke and drivers do not have european style discipline. There are plenty of nice us backroads allright but americans are incapable of sharing the road like in that video. The only way is if there's almost nobody else.

mtcenter · 12-21-2014, 10:38 AM

Some cooling mods for the new airbox,...

BobS · 12-21-2014, 01:54 PM

Pretty cool to see your car being built, I would love to do that.

mtcenter · 12-31-2014, 10:08 AM
