    Just read through this entire thread. The design and quality are top notch! Who made the adapter board for the ECU?

      The header can come all apart to be polished.  I may do that....even though you can't really see it on the car.

      A work contact made the board, just a guy that does electronic stuff.  Pretty neat set up.  The larger terminals which handle higher amperage have different connectors and runs in the board.  Really top notch.  I need to figure out where it will live and then design an aluminum housing for it.

                Get myself caught up on where everythings at, and get the wategates/exhaust finished.  Then onto charge piping, intercooler and upper intercooler piping.  Then the intake manifold.

                After that button up the suspension, and any other stuff, I need to do, oil cooler, etc.  Then back up to GB for tuning.

                  Did I miss what engine management you're going with?

                    We were going to use adaptronic, and we still might, but now we are leaning to AEM infinity.

                      Do I install these?  They sure look cool.

                          those look amazing!  

                          is there any comfort at all?

                            The backs look like they have no bolsters to hold you in. Is that just the camera angles?
                            They do look uncomfortable! But awesome at the same time.

                              Seem pretty legitimate to me: http://www.tecnocraft.com/Tecnocraft-T2-Dry-Carbon-Fiber-Seat-P39.aspx

                              Is that red ultra suede or alcantara?

                                They are supposedly very comfortable.  I won't sit in them until I install the brackets to keep them from getting scratched up.  They are very well bolstered, bad camera angle.

                                The inserts are red Alcantara, I also have a set of black ultrasuede.

                                And as a note, I got these at a DEEP discount since they were demos.

                                      Where/why does someone obtain seats that cost more than my e46? 

                                      I think the black would look very good :)

                                        Motor was never removed.  Trans has been in and out a few times.  Will need to come out again.

                                          Damn, those look sweet. You have 4 of them? 2 black and 2 red?

                                          I want the red ones... Lol, I couldn't justify that coin on some butt cushions though.
