  1. Hey so i thought I'd share my latest retrofit project. Couple of my mates have f8X m cars after seeing the seats i wondered if they fit the e92. I couldn't find any info or even pictures on google. After acquiring some from a damaged f80 i got to work trying to fit them. At first i was pleased to find they bolted directly in. I swapped the connectors from f80-e92. With only 5 wires(power,canbus,lighting). It was easy to swap. The car did not like the f80 seat module at all and quickly rejected it. Because of the can protocol between the chassis. And with the canbus connection removed the wake up signal was no longer being conveyed and after 10sec the seat shut down. Luckily the passenger seat was simply a high current switch. All worked as it should except the heated seats. Using the e92 seat module i use it to simply work the heated seats instead of all other seat functions it used too. After playing around it was looking as though it would not be possible aside from a can emulator that would relay the wake up signal. However this isn't easy. I was running out of ideas. I brought a very cheap pair of seats from a x1 at first for parts but then noticed it used the same style of connectors as the f80 but the car was only a 2010. Part of a total fluke i tested the module out and to my surprise it worked. It was enough to makes the seat stay awake however no heated seats because the x1 seats weren't heated. After that i was stoked and immediately sourced the heated version of the same module which worked perfectly. Only last remaining problem is because they were from a 4 door the seats do not release forward which is a problem in a 2 door so ill order the parts and try convert them?
  2. Hey this one is light and not weighted. Partly because of the z3s already short shift. Cheers
  3. Recaro sportster reclinable seat. Was going to put this in my m3 but as i only have the one with no airbags ive decided to sell. Pretty good condition, has the lever to release seat forward for coupe/vert. Comes on e9x rails but im fairly sure its the same as e46 and f30. These cost a sh*t load to buy new. $450
  4. New M performance style steering. This wheel has been wrapped in a soft leather like suede. With a blue drift stitch and white stitching. Quality is great but not perfect (small crease in suede on one side). To fit e90 e91 e92 e93 e82 e87 etc (no shift paddles) $250 firm

  14. Hey guys - another update. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to take an E46 M3 with a CSL airbox for a drive. And as you could imagine I was hooked on the raw induction sound. I had often heard how awesome this intake was but always thought it was unobtainable endeavour due to the cost mostly, and second the complexity. After talking to the owner (M3 power) he explained actually how simple it really was mechanically. I had already seen the magical wizardry that Tom was capable of but when he said he'd help me out with the CSL tune and ECU. It meant that what I thought was unreachable now didnt seem so far away. And as the stars aligned a Geoff Steel airbox came up for sale so I had to snap it up. I got to work and started ordering the bits I needed to put it all together. With many texts to the experts, I soon had the bits and started. Instead of buying a lot of the genuine parts, I used some aftermarket options. I had to slightly bend the oil dipstick to accomodate the airbox but soon realised that the bonnet wouldn't close and I didnt want to bend it anymore so I cut the top off and put a key ring though it. Second was the adding the map sensor. I used the cheaper gm map sensor but had to add 6mm pipe to supply the sensor so using the ttfs rail as basis I made my own budget rail. But I have to thank the wizard himself, Tom (M3 power). If it weren't for him I wouldn't have been able to do this. So thanks for being a top bloke and helping a meer mortal. Anyway, pictures tell the rest. Enjoy!

  20. hey guys, a bit of update apologizes for the delay ive been trying to get enough together to do another write up. Anyway here's some of things ive been up to over the past months. Wheels- so i wasnt happy with the lips on the Equips as they were chrome plated and numerous stones had taken their toll on it. this was one of the first things i did in the earlier months. so thanks to 41 degree wheels and the legendary polishing services of Jasjot i have fitted 3.5inch rear lips and 2.5 inch front lips thats only 0.5 inch difference but it has made a world of difference both with fitment and looks. And to top it off i fitted 24k gold plated assembly bolts also supplied by jasjot. during this time i also had them stripped and painted. Sounds- ive had troubles with the premium audio in the car the speakers just dont last (not that i fitted new replacements) but i got tried of replacing them so i got a full harmon kardon speaker setup and much to my surprise everything just swapped out including the amp. i wouldnt say it was a huge improvement but it is better with the added bonus of the blingly harmon kardon badging and of course the reliability. Tuning- i took the car into ray to get the shift lights and cruise control programed in while i was there ray told me of a tune he could put on the car while he was programing it. it sounded so good i couldnt refuse and i must say it has made a big difference and has really sharpened the throttle up. Alex did a write up on here somewhere. the only down side was we were unable to get the lights and cruise working however i will look into this again later. Vanos- Kayne Barrie Motorsport rebuilt the vanos with new seals and rattle kit and now its much quieter with a slight improvement in power delivery Servicing- did a 10k kms service which included plugs, a new oil level sensor and valve cover gasket. Suspension- this is has been on my list and ive been saving for these for a while now but this weekend just gone i finally picked up my set of Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers. Naturally i could wait to install them so i spent my sunday doing just that along with a set of braided brakes lines i got off Ebay months ago but i wanted to wait until i got the pss10s to really feel the difference. i got them in and went for a short uneventful drive but i havent had a chance to really try them out as well as they need some adjustment with both height and damper adjust which i will do but after mu overseas holiday in the new year i will have the car corner balanced and setup correctly. Also my car lacked the factory strut brace fitted to other M3s so i managed to grab one of those off of brent from bmworld. So yeah no immediate plans for the near future as i need to focus of life stuff and my partners car build but im sure something will pop up and convince me otherwise haha. but hopefully you all enjoy this update.
