    Before I picked up the car I already had Supersprint V1’s,sec1/2 waiting. The car already had CPI stepped headers with CPI sec1, SGT X pipe and Borla muffler. Was not the biggest fan of the Borla and would rather have the OEM muffler. Luckily the PO left me EVERY SINGLE OEM part that was taken off. Swapped all that over. Even though the CPI headers are “stepped” as well, I still felt a huge difference from the butt dyno.



    Car also had KWv2’s. They were very nice on the street for normal driving. But just didn’t cut it for more aggressive and track driving. So I got a set of TC Kline singe adjustable coilovers to fix that. Car immediately went back to handling amazing





    Swapped out the Arc-8’s for some Ec-7’s





    Over the winter, I swapped out the LSB interior for a pair of bucket seats. I went with Sparco Evo1 for me and Evo2 for the passenger seat. Have them mounted on Brey Krause seat mounts that attach to OEM electric seat rails. Don’t have any good pics of just the seats in the car. Off to storage for the blue.





    Don’t have any pics of the seats in really. But here, you can see it in here lol.

      Also got a set of Arc-8’s in Matte Bronze for track rims and a set of Pirelli Trofeo R’s.








      Here’s various track photos of my car from last season as well as some other cool cars that are out there.

        Once the car came out of storage this year I took out the sunroof and put in a delete panel. I got mine for AJ Hartman aero. The quality is excellent. The weave is perfect and everything lines up perfect with very little gap between the panel and the sunroof hole. Heres some pics.














        Since we’re on lockdown I decided to take care of making a rear seat delete panel to clean up the rear area as well as cut out a bunch out sound.





        Valve adjustment as well on lockdown. Since I have time to kill, I decided to clean the valve cover.
        (120kms)

            Beautiful E46. I didn't think I was going to like that interior color but I think it looks really good on your car.

            I've come across that 458 GT2 before, that's a wild car.

              That's a very nice looking rear seat delete, you made it yourself? Was there a DIY you worked from?

                Thanks. Yup made it myself. I got a template with measurements from M3F. The top section is the pic below. I cant find the bottom section pic. I think I deleted by accident when clearing my desktop. Either way both sections had to be modified to fit properly with the cushions. The bottom section considerably. If you are looking to make one I can take measurements from mine.
