**My TiAg M3 Mod Progress Thread** - Page 11

hi its me alec · 03-04-2012, 10:28 AM

Great job Alex, you're doing a hell of a lot of stuff that I've never thought of.

How much did the CSL steering rack set you back?

ILLuSioNz X · 03-06-2012, 09:47 AM

I just read the entire thread, good progress so far!

Mango · 03-11-2012, 03:55 AM

Looks great. I will say though HANDS-DOWN (absolutely hands down) keep the front clears. not even a QUESTION. Looks entirely more premium that way.

omhl · 03-17-2012, 07:54 AM

csl trunk was a must. TIAG ftw

sgplayer69 · 04-09-2012, 10:19 AM

Alex I've definitely asked this before but how are you not rubbing at all? you're quite low and are running 255/285s and are running quite flush. No fender modification?

edwincamacho · 04-09-2012, 10:57 AM

Alex you have done a excelent job with you car love all the mods done

Nope, no fender modification. I'm not really that low at all. But it depends on wheel offset and brand of tires too. Some 285s will actually be blocky on the edges. I can put 4 people in my car and not rub. couldn't do that in my 323Ci even with the fenders rolled. in my sig i'm on it good in a long inclined sweeper so it looks kinda low there.
here's another photo of my car from the backside and you can see it's all good.

Love your mods so far. I hope that you'll not change your direction.

oh nice. yea i don't check this thread often as you can tell lol but i'm at EAS like all the time lol

Alex323Ci · 05-28-2012, 08:37 PM

little update for the month

complete oil & filter change. vanos filter change and all new Bosch Coil Packs

went back to oem clear corners about a month or so ago

Alex323Ci · 05-28-2012, 08:47 PM

and a follow up to the early teaser of the authentic GruppeM CF intake

all in. the matching 1x1 CF in the engine bay is nice. actually surprised by the feel in flow this intake has when opened up. wasn't expecting it to feel like it was gaining as much as it does, but it truely feels improved. will dyno soon to see if the gains show up on a treadmill dyno. sound is about the same, not much difference which some might not like but i do. i'm happy with it, but would not suggest to pay the $2,000 GruppeM charges for it.

e popa · 05-28-2012, 09:07 PM

looks good

Alex323Ci · 06-12-2012, 01:46 AM

Finally got the UUC rear Trailing Arm bushings in.
This second time was so much faster using the rtab tool. Car feels tighter in turns. Nothing negative to report back at this time with the upgrade.
*thanks goes out to fellow fanatic Scott for the great deal on the tool.

CSL323 · 06-12-2012, 05:26 AM

I remember editing photos on that car! She's a beauty!
