2. Umnitza lenses are crap from the looks of them, it has a Prolumen HID 5000k kit on it and I'm going to talk with the guy at Bekkers Imports to see if he can get me a set of Hella projectors and say adios to the angel eyes.
3. Going to rebadge the car.
4. I found a black 8.5-9/10 quality interior from a 1994 540i which I'm going to swap in there, although I'm currently talking with speedwaremotorsports.com about getting me some Recaro Trend Topline seats. But at $3000 including shipping that's almost as much as I paid for the car. We'll see.
5. It has a Alpine CDA-9851 head unit which I can hook up Sirius Satellite Radio and Bluetooth for my cell phone too.
6. Remote Keyless entry... don't need the alarm but my searches on the forums makes me scared of the Stellar product from BavAuto. Might bite the bullet and go full BMW keyless entry.
7. Needs a new windshield.
8. Needs new weather stripping in some areas.
9. Might install a small subwoofer, but nothing too crazy. I hate can rattlers, but I need something with a bit more bite than the a/d/s speakers.
10. Needs new rear brake pads and rotors, but they came with the car.
That should be it for the time being till I get the TCD Stage 2 turbo in there:
* 8.0:1 CR (MLS head gasket)
* JE Forged Pistons
* ARP head studs
* Rebuilt stock head
* Balanced rotating assembly
* 2.5" single exhaust
* water/air intercooler
* GT35 turbo charger pushing about 28-30psi
* Ceramic coated turbo log-style manifold
* 65 lb/hr injectors
* Custom proprietary PnP MegaSquirt for injection and ignition with custom wiring harness
Massive horsepower baby... thank god gas is cheap.
TCD is arriving in pieces... tons and tons of plumbing is arriving daily.
