They wouldn't be street tires so I'm not too worried about that. I honestly would rather have Pilot Sport Cup's but they don't make those in 17 anymore, and RE-11S' need to be ordered direct from Japan

^ Dude... that's full-blown Hoosier territory in price...
You can get a set of Hoosier R6 or A6 (depending on intended usage) in 255/45-17 for just over $1100, which is LESS than the 'semi-slick' compound of the RE-11S!
Yeah, that's why I decided on the 11A - $191 each
I was going to say the RE11A is also very close in price, but apparently prices have come down significantly since I bought my set. When I bought mine in 2010, a set cost well over a grand for the 18" size. Now it's a couple of hundred less than it was back then. The 17" size is even cheaper, of course.Quote:

OMG RE11S look sick! I want those , but holy crap at the price.
Interesting though is the RE11A is not very close in price to the Dunlop StarspecII. HMM when I run out of tires on my track tires I will have a tough decision.
Yeah, I found the 11S because they have selection in 15" (for the old cars). Just need to finish building he engine and then I'll deal with wheels/tires for them
Aimed the headlights for now until I swap the set from the other car in
before (drivers side too far to the middle, passenger a little low and slightly too much to the right)

Edit:
So E46's had two possible alternators depending on which shape plug it has (oval=Bosch or rectangular=Valeo).
This is the alternator in the red car:

This is the alternator in the blue car:

The point of why I needed to know this is because I have Turner underdrive pulleys on the red car that I want to swap over:
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...s/P1060203.jpg
1590mm vs stock 1538mm belt
They honestly look the same to me except it says 486 vs 586.
They are the same, probably just a manufacture date. The issue is Bosch vs Valeo. Since both have Bosch stamps I'm good and can swap them over.Quote:

Today I'll try to delete the Dice and install the Grom so I can move the factory Bluetooth back to the red car
Edit: forgot I swapped the fogs with my spare set of clear lens painted ones

Thanks guys!
Poor imola but the blue looks good too
Yeah, the Imola is pretty much going back to stock. I still need to swap brakes. It's likely getting sold to a little old lady, so the jump from her current '89 325i will be enough at stock.
Edit: I still need to install the Stewart pump, new thermostat, new upper and lower hoses

Hope you're still having fun, and liking it.
I am. Thanks for giving me a great base to work fromQuote:

John and I traded exhausts over the weekend, he got the Magnaflow and I got the UUC. This was because of an issue with full cat back exhausts and the extra bracing on the underbody of a vert. When I dropped the Magnaflow off at the exhaust shop I told them how they would need to modify the exhaust to clear the brace under his car, so he will have the full cat back installed on his once that is done.

I polished the muffler and tailpipes out for John since I know he loves his chrome ;)

getting the UUC back was interesting...

Awesome JP! Great work, appreciate all the help. It looks great. I miss my TSE3 quite a bit, so hopefully the Magnaflow fits. Can't believe you got it home like that! Nice video too. Frankly, I like the TSE3 better. Darn brace. :)
Yeah, I like it too ;)
Mike seems like a really knowledgable guy, he knows what he has to do to make it fit on your car. The issue was you went on a day when he wasn't there so his brother modified your brace to fit the exhaust. Mike is gonna modify the exhaust to fit the brace. Besides, the Magnaflow is way shinier than the UUC and you love the chrome ;)

Make sure to keep those tips clean!!! That was after a round of full effect and some scrubbing. I've noticed that Iron-X does great on removing residue on exhausts, make sure to buy some. I need to order a new bottle for myself.
Also, thanks to the time I was talking to Mike about installing it on your car I noticed some things for the old cars on the wall that I picked up cheap

I'm thinking about painting the chrome one like this... but it's just the tip and not the full ANSA so I might not

Thanks for the tips (seewhatididthere). I might go black chrome on the tips. Were you talking about that spray on chrome that Jay Leno likes... is that it?
EDIT: What is your pref for the TSE3 tips? Also, nice that you got those other ones.
This is black chrome

I don't mind the tips on the UUC, but I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet. I'll drop the exhaust soon and paint it black. Maybe I'll do some turndowns and glass in the diffuser... ;)
Edit: nevermind, they will only do wheels
"Due to the manufacturing techniques required to apply the Black Chrome finish, we will ONLY process your one-piece aluminum alloy wheels. We do not offer Black Chrome on multi-piece wheels, plastic or metal parts, or accessories."
Pulled the carpet I needed
