Which projecter did you get from TRS? Is it the Mini-H1 or Mini-D2S? And I assume the shrouds are E46? Regardless the car looks sweet.

Never know it may be up for sale one of these days...

The trunk setup was nice but not my style. I put my bike gear back there and tools and whatever else I need to move.

The projectors are the DS2 and the shroud is the extended E46

Nice, I plan on the H1's and the Gatlin 2.0's.

Yah your lucky...

The 03's headlights will fit the H1's. The DS2's barely fit my headlights. I have maybe 2 mm of clearance.

Nah, I'm currently working on a front end conversion, something similar to Priggen's. So I won't have the '03 to '05 headlight.

I believe the rail is 4-an and then the pressure gauge is 1/4" npt

That being said, I picked up my exhaust hangers today to get ready for my exhust install this coming friday. MES sends you some clamps and such but I have no clue what the plan was for the hangers he sent. Also picked up some VHT to coat the exhaust with after.

I picked these up over the border yesterday.

Cant wait to get them on! Love the tread pattern and they are going to rock in the rain we get out here.

how did the exhaust install go? Did you run into any fitment issues with the MES stuff?





Re: Newish car......build thread...

The exhaust went alright.

There was some minor issues but I had taken it to a good custom fab shop so he was able to make it fit very good. Probably would have fit better but with the 28" long magnaflow res in there it was a tight fit.

Overall for the price of the kit it wasnt bad.

Sounds mean and kinda loud. I do miss my stock exhaust but im going to throw a 18" long muffler on instead of the 14"

This showed up today

Cheap Taiwanese crap!

These showed up for me today. Overall im very impressed with the build quality of them. They are individually shock dynoed and tuned for the spring rate. I got the extreme drop and free rear adjuster extenders. Also spent the extra and got Swift springs since BC and Swift work together. Apparently makes them ride amazing.

Got to love the badge they send out as well. Very over done.

Thanks guys...after I roll the fenders ill be putting them on....

Whitecavy...

They were $1295 shipped, $995 if you dont want the Swift spring upgrade but from my reading on subaru, lexus and bmw forums they are what makes the difference.

Are the lower mounts for the rears threaded on or no? I'm curious because I may at some point in the future to have a lower mount made for the N-body rear setup if things go the way I hope.

Yes....the rear works the same way as the front. The body of the dampener screws down into it so dampener travel is not effected.

You do not touch the upper lockrings at all. You set your 5mm of preload and thats it, lock the collars and adjust the bottom for your height.

Okay, that's good to know.
