Sweet! So whats the next on the to-do?

[REKIII]

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.

[REKIII]

Do I install these?  They sure look cool.

Sweet jeebus....pulling out all the stops

[B C]

those look amazing!  

is there any comfort at all?

[GunMetalGrey]

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?

[REKIII]

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.

[Earl]

Well you definitely win in the seat department haha

[Earl]

Is the motor back in it by the way?

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.

My clutch make these seats look cheap.

[suspenceful]

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.

[REKIII]

No, I have 2 seat shels and then a set of black inserts and a set of red inserts.  I have the red inserts stock in my M5.

[REKIII]

Interfooler fools no-one.

[patsbimmer1]

That is an intense number of holes in the bumper support.

[REKIII]

I bought it like that.  It was from an e39 used at a play-doh extruding plant.

[YoungCR]

yay for updates! I like the light weight bumper mod.
