Pilot-Super-Sport-Web.jpgordered a set of super sports for the DS2's im refinishing.

She's alive! Well... almost. Rear end rebuild/refresh is complete so I spun her around to start the front.. Exhaust is completely off at the moment but won't be staying that way. Exhaust is off because it needs to go to an exhaust shop anyway. 2 of the 6 exhaust manifold flange bolts broke off during removal. Typical of 20 year old exhaust that's never been touched.Trying to decide if I want to keep my Remus or go with Rogue Engineering.

Got it out of winter storage! Finally.

The 3.38 LSD I picked up a few months back had a failed pinion bearing. Thayer Motorsports hooked up the 188mm parts to service this tired LSD.






Installing the LSD, rebuilding the rear section of the driveshaft, and tackling a refresh/upgrade to the shifter...

changing out one wiring harness for another, M50 -> M50. I see that the automatic and manual harnesses are different parts.

Just picked up my car from the shop. I almost always do my own work, but didn't want to do the reinforcements myself.

Work done:

• Subframe reinforcements
• RTAB pocket reinforcements
• Subframe bushings
• RTABs
• Diff bushings
• Subframe repaired (cracked pretty badly, I'll post some pics later)
• Front suspension sorted out (end links were loose)
• Rear suspension fixed (rear shock mounts were backwards)
• Alignment
• Everything looked over/checked/tightened/etc

The car feels amazing! Maybe even better than it ever has.

Can't wait to test it out at Thunderhill this weekend. Anyone else going to be there?

Recommend RE's DMS. It sounds amazing.
Let me know if you want to hear it in person.

+1 for the DMS. I get complimented all the time for the way it sounds

I've had the RE DMS before and miss it quite a bit. Only reason I'm struggling to decide is because I bought my car with the Remus on it already and it's not bad at all.

[samy01]

i think your rear left tire might need some air

It does, I noticed it once it was on the ground again (it was on jack stands for a few months). I've got a screw in it at the moment I'll plug later.

I mean if you don't NEED it I'm sure you can find elsewhere to spend the money on the car.
Soon as my Dinan exhaust kicks the dust I'll go with RE. It should sound pretty amazing mated to my euro mid.

Washed it today.

I bought a 98 318ti and trailered it home, silver w black, a little lowered, z3 wheels and 5spd. Bought a 95 three months ago for my son, and after driving it awhile was impressed by the sport and MPGs, needed to have one for my commute

2.8 turns lock to lock, should have it in before the weekend.

Where'd you source the rack from? I wanted to do a Z3 rack when I replaced mine, but getting one through RackDoctor without a core was just too expensive.

Fixed the horn, fixed the reverse tail light that was out. Shorted the wiring to the washer tank float. No more check control for that annoyance.

Cardone1 for 97 Z3 1.9i from RockAuto for about $450, includes $175 core charge. Spec sheet showed 2.8 LTL, arrived next day w/ Ground $9.99 shipping. I was able to source a z3 core for $25 locally.

[mitch500]

Finished refinishing my ds2's. Sanded and filled all the rash, epoxy primer, 2k filler primer then 2k top coat rattle can.

I think they turned out great, slightly darker colour than stock.
Was a real pain painting them in my garage and not a spray booth (dust control is ridiculous)

But just put in new caps and ///M badges today after paint cure. Next week I get the super sports installed.

Yea not to bad for a $200 set of ds2s and about $100 In paint. So much sanding though! All the tight places to get into was super hard.
