Yes it was surge. I T-ed into the BOV line by mistake. I corrected it already!

Kool stuff OP.

**BadBoostedBmwM3** · 10-07-2011, 11:55 PM

I love seeing some DIY action.

**GG///M3** · 10-14-2011, 10:40 PM

What does a clutch setup like that cost?

**rt turbo** · 10-29-2011, 10:43 AM

Those wheels are fat! I think they will look pretty serious and sexy on that car. But with that huge difference its ganna understeer like hell. But I guess if you are running those DRs full time (??) then you arent planning on hitting clover leafs at high rates of speed.

Also, do I see 2 ASC buttons on that din piece?

**stanksbeamen** · 10-29-2011, 11:11 AM

Are you concerned with rubbing tires/fender? From the pics it looks like they will but idk what's your suspension. Maybe I worry too much?

I'm just test fitting for the drag radials for now. I will run a smaller street tire as a street setup.

I will have to tweak the coil overs a bit and maybe pull the front fenders. No worries!

Good stuff! Can you further explain the use of 2 ASC buttons or are you going to keep it secret?

Safety switch for start, is that like a theft deturant? (sp) Are you getting a push button and not using the key? Sorry dont know what this does exactly.

**Colby Colbs** · 10-30-2011, 12:38 PM

So it looks like you shaved the signal indicators in the fenders... how did you do this?
From the looks of it, it looks like you used straight filler? Maybe I'm seeing things

Sheet of aluminum behind with fiberglass filler.

FWIW I believe the 92-93 e36s did not come with turn indicators on the fender. At least my 93 E36 didnt. So if Im correct you could just swap fenders.

**BadBoostedBmwM3** · 11-05-2011, 03:01 PM

Looking good!

What all do you need to know?

Basically I just cut out the fenders to the highest point of the wheel well and continued to cut and check the fender placement until I was happy with it. From there ground down to raw metal to prepare the surface for attaching the flares and rolled the edges to give the fender flare a support ledge. I can't remember the name of the product used to "glue" the fender on but it is some serious stuff! From there body filler w/ fiber glass in it to further bond the fender to the body.

The Rieger replica fender flares from DTM Fiber Werks were modified though. I cut the side skirt portion off a few inches above where the side skirt attaches. I notched the inner edge on the portion below the side molding to then allow the fender flare to flex towards the body on the under side of the side molding. This helped to reduce warping of the flare while allowing it to fit nicely, otherwise it was still kicked out an inch or so towards the bottom edge. After mounting them I decided to cut out the side molding step from the flare and fill it in as well as delete all the side moldings on the car.

Oh, thats a quick read but there are a lot of hours in all of that and still a few more to finish things up!

Hope this helps!

**BadBoostedBmwM3** · 11-07-2011, 12:20 PM

Yes pics!

I'll find out for you!

So now that I can shift the car... 11.75 @131mph w/ a 2.1 60'. The nitto 555r's hooked great at 22psi. I was easy on the launch to make sure everything stayed together and ended up placing 2nd in the modified class at a race covered by DSport magazine today in Fayetteville, NC!

**BadBoostedBmwM3** · 11-13-2011, 11:18 PM

Awesome results!
