Sid's 2003.5 Silver Grey Speed Run

[Sid_E46]

I was not a fan of how the Moroso cap looked in the engine bay so I modeled out an "oe" style cover for it and printed it in ASA to withstand the heat.



Here is the file if anyone else is interested in printing one.

I can also ship them out if requested.

Few more small updates.

Swapped out the factory coolant reservoir for a Moroso tank.


Also installed the MAP sensor kit and had a CSL tune flashed. There is definitely a gain in low end power and responsiveness compared to Alpha N.



Threw on an Eventuri scoop as well.

I don't plan on ever selling this car.

I got my Euro bumper back from paint and also had a CarboProject diffuser painted at the same time.

I want to do the same to my Dinan exhaust. Did you just use a small polisher or was this a sandpaper and elbow grease job?

I started with some pretty coarse sandpaper, that paint is quite tough and took a while to get off. Finished it off with a polish after all the paint was off.

Personally not a fan of the Black Dinan tips so decided to sand off the paint and polish them (not polished in this pic). I don't know what Dinan used to paint these tips but it took HOURS to get the paint off.


Got the exhaust in including the SS section 2 from the group buy (Thanks Epoustouflant ). I was a bit worried about the fitment since my SSV1s weren't perfect but the section 2 has perfect fitment.


Took some notes from Obioban and used the Inconel bolts from the OE headers to join the section 1 and 2.


Also threw on a CSF oil cooler.

So the swap you did was just to the Hamann tips? i.e., you're still rocking SS street exhaust?

Nice work on the Euro bumper. I love mine.

I didn't swap just the tips. It's a "fully-fledged" Hamann muffler which Supersprint made by taking an SS Street and welding different tips onto it. I could only find 2 places that had info on these; the listing where I bought this one, and a listing in Malaysia. It also seems they had a version with DTM style tips.

That DMG bar Looks gorgeous

A few small updates, still waiting to have some more free time to do the carbon roof.

3 piece DMG bar so that I don't have to fight the Vorshlag studs falling through every time I take the strut bar off.



Also got a Euro bumper sent off to get painted.
