The blue one is just a parts car
Jk yeah blue for street and silver for track. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, but the silver car’s fate was decided when it flooded in 2017. It was either IB, PY, or Estoril Blue for me. Never got a chance to buy your car, so this will do. Gonna have to manual swap it ASAP bc SMG sucks |

Here is what my home brew looks like...not too bad!
Nice! IB is close second behind Estoril as the best E46 color. The 450lb left/400lb right spring setup was much better than 600lb. Much less sawing the wheel to get it to turn in. I'm running 700lb rear springs, might run 750lb rears. I think my TCK doubles can handle it.

I have had challenges with the SPL hardware as well. It's a simple fix to pull the ti hardware and install stainless. The clamp style design is superior to the locking nut design others use IMO. The design and quality is excellent. It's just the stupid Ti hardware that's problematic. I also added loctite to the stainless hardware. All good now

Is there a strong case to be made that the best time to do solid subframe mounts is when you are swapping struts/springs for coilovers?
I can't think of a substantial savings, but I could be missing something. |

There's very little overlap. The coils/springs just hang while the subframe is out. An alignment would be the biggest overlap.

Honestly, unless those coolers have absolute shit insulation, even a basic cooler can keep a bag of ice cold for two days.

Those with trackspec motorsports hood louvers.. has anyone thought to cut open the topside of their intake airbox? That louver sits almost completely over the airbox and I would imagine this would evacuate air from the airbox way faster than the oem hood vent
Would need to be covered back up during the rain. edit: cutting open wouldn't be necessary lol just removing the top lid. Obviously without the hood louvers this would be a horrible move

Speaking of Trackspec - weren't they at one time going to be making chassis mounted front splitters out of Tegris? Did anything come of this?

I'm sure there is a huge market if someone prefabbed some adjustable chassis mount brackets. Similar to what HARD motorsports did... but better haha
