95 m3 Boston Green Build

[gaza21]

Alright guys I've finally started on the road to building my car. Long story short I bought this car from a guy in vernon nj in Sept 09 and it was well kept with the exception of the interior, drooping headliner and worn and torn drivers seat. Previously I owned 2 stage 3 s4's one got totaled and the other always had a problem(typical s4 crap lol). I must say the M3 feels like a dream compared to the s4. My license is suspended till February so figured now is a good time to start. I usually only care about under the hood but since this was in great shape already i'll be doing it all. The car is currently stock but has f1 stage 3 clutch and light weight flywheel, sway bar front and back, xbrace, all sitting on tein ss coilovers it handles like virgin puxxy. Here are a couple picks.

Now I recently bought an entire Magma interior including a new headliner for a steal of $500, the drivers side seat needs a lil work but sent that out to get recolored locally for $125. Here's some picks.

For the power I ordered a TRM Stage 2 kit which I plan on having maximum psi install for me including doing my full exhaust systemetc etc. I should start receiving the kit by tuesday and will post picks. In the meantime these are some other goodies i'm looking to buy.

Please give ideas and inputs on my build. As for the wheels I just plan on getting them refinished and throwing some good rubber on. Can someone tell me where to find the correct center cap?

Needs less nitrous.

[Volf]

Nitrous? No.

[gaza21]

Nitrous? No.

No it's not nitrous its a sprayer for the intercooler to lower the air temps to increase HP. Here's an example

Thats not a magma interior its cinnamon (i think thats the color code). Its a kinda rare interior color which is cool but yeah thats not magma. Also this should be a cool build i would do reinforcements on the car before adding that much power by the way. Strut towers, sub frame etc etc

All I saw was the NOS bottle and I figured I had seen enough. :D. If you're worried about air temperatures why not do it the right way and run meth injection like the rest of the serious f/I guys? Ricer mods don't work as well as doing it properly. Affording a decent meth injection system shouldn't be a problem anyway considering the amounts of cash you're tossing around.

[gaza21]

Oh that explains why I ordered the magma color from leatherique and it didnt match properly. I just never heard of cinnamon. Anway a local shop is coloring it for $125 for me.

[Volf]

I'm on my phone so I've got a smaller screen but it looks like magma to me?

[gaza21]

Yeah they look/looked like magmas to me too. I just thought the spray bar was cool thats all. Now if i do the meth kit do I immediately need a tune? Because I think that'd be another $650 for the tune from TRM. I'm also thinking about just picking up some rods since that the known weak link??

[Volf]

Not sure on the tune. I'm pretty new to F/I. Spraybar seems like a really big waste of money when you could just do it right. But its your car, if you want to put some fast and furious mods on there, go ahead, nobodys stopping you.

I'm pretty sure that's magma.

First, I'd post your FI build in the FI forum. You'll get better input.

Second. As far as rods, if I had the money I'd do rods and piston, stock headgasket and o-rings. Is add a nice water meth kit on top (I like the fjo racing stuff because it is also a really nice boost controller).

The rods are the weak link above about 500-550 wtq, but the piston design becomes an issue because of quench issues much sooner. You can still make power safely, but proper pistons and rods is always better.

Also, I don't know if I'd bother with the coils unless the stock ones give you trouble.

[gaza21]

Thanx for the input

One more day until my turbo kit comes I can hardly wait.
