Default update on my car

ok, havent done an update lately

latest news is ac evaporator/expansion valve, thats why im missing a glove box

but since ive had the car, i polished the valve cover, done the sound system, changed headunits a few times, and did my custom exhaust tip, and have a polished intake waiting to be installed


future: m3 vaders (waiting on knee bolster part, and sand grey CLOTH vader covers special ordered from bmw), x-brace, m3 bushings, meyle control arms, sport springs.

waiting for pics to upload so i can post them haha


oh, btw, are all ti's exhausts stainless? cuz mine is and its got the bmw logo on it so its factory

yeah, i got a polished one waiting for install, i just need to get the ac fixed first because its hot down here in the south, and a/c is more important haha.oh, also planning on rerouting the ducting for the intake box and taking off the resonator on the intake box, i already guted the box of all insulation/ plastic, so its just an empty box with a filter in it.

thanks, it might be a while though, because the knee bolsters gonna cost me 150$ to fix, and the seat covers are going to be close to 1200. so imma need to save up for a while haha.


also, i intalled my ipod kit today, i hid the wire in the front ashtray so you can tell it has one, and its the whole docking port thing, so it charges off of 12v switched from the radio power lines.
