Sid's 2003.5 Silver Grey Speed Run

[Sid_E46]

Dinan pedal covers and P3 gauge installed with an Innovate digital AFR controller.

The car is buttoned up. Waiting for my P3 gauge to arrive so that I can have AFR and boost reading for a HTE tune.

This is spectacular! Looking forward to this build!!

[Sid_E46]

Decided to postpone using the Technica Manifold and increasing the boost, so I just sent it with the stock manifold.

[Sid_E46]

Schools out so it's finally time to throw on the Dinan S3r kit.


No going back now. (This was a lie)



Love how massive the Dinan intercooler is.



Struggling on how to adapt the Dinan silicone boot to a Technica manifold but I have some ideas that may work.

[Sid_E46]

They work!

Took the car for a drive and there is no evidence of them backing out so I would say the adaptor is a success.

[Sid_E46]

So I have been working on the center cap adaptor project once again and ended up deciding that the 80mm caps were way too big for the E88 faces.


I traded the caps out for the 70mm variants and I believe they look miles better on the smaller E88 faces.



The first iteration of the adaptors, just have to install an o-ring and test fit on the wheel.

Replaced the cracked and foggy inner tail lights, looks a million times better.




(Kinda blurry picture since it was dark.)

[Sid_E46]

Thanks!! I appreciate that.. Im debating selling right now. lol

Thats unfortunate to hear........

but let me get your CSL diffuser and trunk 👀.


Seriously though, why sell such a complete car?

Thanks! Your car is one of the major reasons I love silver-grey; also why I want to do a carbon roof conversion as well one day.

Got the height dialed in and installed a 5mm spacer on the rear.



Also thanks jbfrancis3 for the EGT block off. If anyone has an EGT block off installed on their SS section 1, I highly suggest you throw some Loctite on it.

[Sid_E46]

I have race faces, if these work for you, would you consider selling me a set?

If it ends up working then definitely.
