Preventive service is done and lets continue with some interesting add-ons...

Hi-fi SQ stuff...

-Helix A4 Competition (for tw+mid) [4x98 w rms @ 4 ohm class A]

For all of this gear up, NBT was best choice (reason No.1 why is in car) and it is coded to Hi-Fi flat output,added RCA Gladen interconnects.
Still i have another solution to connect NBT-DSP via MOST interface and then all signal path will be pure DIGITAL



All parts are in garage so lets start with install...



New batt IN..



strip most of interior out...





all prepared, time for cutting


Ups...


And time for some STP Gold sound deadening


and as night come, we are still in trunk....all for SQ


Time for rest until tommorow...


Next day we continue with..

Helix DSP pro




DIRECTOR controller...







where to put it...hm

Here above on roof near Mic


ok this part is finished, now front doors next

[CaleCro]

Lets continue

Because car was behaving strange (swimming and bouncing like ship, was to soft) on this Lowtec rear springs (-30mm), we put M-tech.I springs (-20mm). Now it looks like this at rear





and because it has high mileage, it is time to do some preventive maintenance...










this last pict. is not mine, just for illustration how it all looks like

All parts instaled OEM BMW
-new chain
-timing guides
-tensioner
-oil separator
-water pump
-all new filters, new oil...

So much things was installed from recent post... so i will post pictures..

On exterior:

Car was lowered 30/30 and as for now i'm not satisfied with rear springs...front are good.

new Alpina lip and FL Hella BiXenon added



INTERIOR:

In interior was added most of interesting things....

Kontur seats from e38...





Headliner Anthracite Alcantara suede OEM from M5




for me best and hardest mod that was done...NBT navi






Conversion from PFL-FL steering wheel....in progres

FL M sport steering wheel from M3 SMG finished with individual logo, now i'm waiting for slip ring from 3/99 FL to be adjusted onto my 9/97 PFL car

[CaleCro]

lets continue...before lowering car i needed to do some work on fenders





after this job i ordered Lowtec springs 30/30



So now we will se what will it be with this springs together with EDC struts, i hope it will be plenty enogh to stay as comfort, and as sport
