Hey guys, figured I never did this and I'm reintroducing my car anew here :)
 

So this is officially a hello,

My name is Artem Lepilov and I got this car as a third owner, its a nice Msport TI with a california package and every other option on the list (Heated seats, cold weather pack, sport seats, cloth/leather combination, OBC, even the coveted battery shut-off switch!).

Then after a lot of supercharging woes and smog, I decided to screw it all and install an S52 in there. Below is a complete list of mods I've done to it.

1998 318TI
S52B32 motor with new valves, guides, oil pump, etc etc - only not new things are the crank bearings, rods, pistons and accessories - 100% stock with all smog equipment.
ZF320 5-speed tranny with new detents (53k miles)
Lightweight F1 Racing aluminum flywheel
E34 M5 clutch (installed backwards)
2.93 LSD Differential out of an E28
E30 325 axles w. half shafts
Polyurethane Bushings in the rear subframe, all around except the sway bar bushings
Supersprint cat-back exhaust for an E36 M3, with cut rear exhaust pipes to match the TI's short rear end
M3 slotted brakes on the front, E34 rear calipers on the back (front is way more biased anyway... Need to upgrade the rears at some point)
Stainless clutch line and stainless brake lines

I also did some other mods to the audio system and exterior, specifically:
M3 mirrors
A/D/S P15.2 Amp with an A/D/S CSI642 crossover (front/back)
Infiniti Kappa Perfect 5.2 separates system with a cross over in the front
A/D/S Crossovers for the back tweeters/woofers
A/D/S 320i/S waiting to be installed in the rear
Rockford Fosgate RFX8250 headunit (Made by Denon)


So, thats that, if you got any questions about the car or swaps or supercharging feel free to write here :)


Cheers,
Artem

More pics and engine goodness :tongue:

Nice Car! Definitely using this as a reference point for my Cali build.

Thanks for the kind words dude! Feel free to ask me any questions when the time comes :)


Cheers,
Artem
