Late response, but nice shots. I'm a photography noob myself, so you can take this anyway you want, but I couldn't help cropping some of these. I tend to obsess a little about the margins and whether what's there really adds anything to the photo. When in doubt, I cut it out. Having a line terminate in the corner of the picture never hurts either. Not trying to be a dick, it's just trying to be helpful.
Also, I have an NEX to Konica adapter that I ordered by accident. If you want to play around with some vintage lenses, you can have it.

Haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been having my fun modding the ZHP the past few months. Brand new alcantara steering wheel/new ZHP knob/alcantara wrapped pillars (since oem black was peeling)/acs type 2/bc coilovers/etc etc!

So good!
Don’t burble tune it
This ones staying silent lol
-
Were those a kit or did you just wrap yourself?
Coby wheel. Think for all of the stuff it was like $425 + a $250 deposit. You send your old wheel once you get new one. Quality is better than oem
-
I wrapped the pillars and stuff. The stuff I paid for was steering wheel/ebrake handle/arm wrest. But even the arm wrest I had to install/glue on
-
I wish my e46 was a zhp with a third pedal. I have to restore mine quite a bit to make it look respectable, my right rear blew out because of a torn off spring piece, now I have bumper damage.
My M3 is clean, but it’s missing a few details like a proper front lip/under tray, front and rear moldings are a little faded.
-
Sourced some ACS door sill plates to match the mirrors. (All 4 doors, just didn’t take any more pics)
Mirrors and rear windshield wing next!

E46 has to be one of the best BMW interiors. Looks amazing with the mods you've done.
I'm definitely getting coco mats for the E30
Thanks man! The coco mats are quite honestly my favorite mod on the car LOL
-
I need to see coco mats in person because honestly I don’t get it. I know they are popular but I don't look at them and get excited.
This is not me being a hater/dick, by the way. I’d love to see them in person to better understand the appeal.
Nice find on the ACS stuff

I was the same way. The quality on them is insane, they weigh like 10 pounds a piece lol
And they don’t show dirt as much as normal mats. So it always looks clean

UPDATE.
The Daytona m3 still exists. Just have been busy with the ZHP. Have recently been driving this car a ton, and forgot how much of a blast it is. Brain storming what to do with out this winter. So far the winter goal is going to be able to safely make 500WHP and reinforce things such as the diff and all that so I don't spend half the summer replacing parts.
-
Starting to get going on this car this winter again finally. The plan is to go standalone/wiring specialties harness/Precision 6262/custom manifold etc. I already have most of the parts purchased within the past two weeks, just waiting on some E85 stuff that is BO. I will update as stuff comes in/gets done!
The plan with the 6262 is to make ~450 HP. I want something that I can still take on the backroads and enjoy, and I feel like 450 will be perfect for that.
-
450whp is going to be plenty of power in that chassis. What power are you at now?
-
@patsbimmer1Honestly no idea, not enough. Just pretty much a stock JZX110. With the turbo and E85 I should be able to make a decent amount more than that, I just dont see that necessary at the moment, but it will be nice to have the option to turn it up if I want. Sound Performance will be tuning the car and they are gonna put a boost "knob" in the car

Sound Performance does a great job!

Starting to finally tie things together on this and getting ready to have it sent to fabrication!
Placing my order on a Tweak'd custom harness by the end of this week once I figure a few last small details out. I really like their harness vs the wiring speciliates for a couple reasons but the one thing I think is really cool is their quick disconnect bulkhead. Not only does it look awesome but it makes removing the motor if I ever have to super easy.
Other things I have changed include powder coating some engine bay stuff to match the wheels and cage vs going full polished. I think this will look really good and make the car feel more "together/complete"
Once I have the harness installed and everything done being polished and powder coated I will update with pictures and send off to get the titanium bits handled!
