A junky e36 m3 gets a makeover.

[Logan]

Did some work lately. Still fixing up the front end.

The PO popped open the OEM housings to put in angel eyes



So, I pull out the headlight, and heat it up to 200 degrees in the oven. I pull it apart, pop off the angel eyes and shoot the housings with satin black paint.



I also polished up the clear housing the best I could.

Before and after:

Good work so far, I'm impressed!



The ambers were a very good decision

Turbo is a little small.

Why would you remove the sealant around the shock towers?

With the top mount you can bend the A/C lines out of the way, and also use a slightly smaller IC and still retain A/C. I have a 3.5" core and I still have the condenser and stock fan.

Not trying to be really critical, just trying to point you in the right direction. Hopefully AA and me can work something out soon so I can start selling OBD1 tunes through them. I'm not a fan of TRM

I had initial goals of 400whp. The turbo was a great size for that. I sold it the other day. Keep in mind it is a T4 frame turbo so it flows more than an equally spec'd t3 frame.

I am looking to smooth up the engine bay. I am putting more "sealant" around the shock towers, just smoothing it. Check out Azvedo motorsports. They have many slick engine bays.

With this particular top mount you need to have the AC lines extended. I also never really cared for AC honestly. It never worked in the first place. Plus I have a 4" thick IC core.

It seems hit or miss with TRM...Hopefully I got a good tune
