Spec E46 Built

[D_Eclipse9916]

Been cleaning up stuff on the previous race car and gets picked up Saturday. In the meantime, ordering most of the parts I need over black friday sales to take advantage of any savings.

I also started pulling stuff off the SpecE46 in preparation of sale/installation of Spec Parts. I caught this picture walking the dogs and it looked so sad behind doors.


Got started... The E46 is actually a pretty different setup in a lot of ways. So to keep things organized I always use baggies with blue painters tape and marker on the tape. Marker directly on the bags usually wears off or smears.




I also went inspecting and found lots of oil leaks/cleanup items. I had not planned on originally pulling the motor, but it is just going to end up easier pulling it all apart.


I went to work pulling apart this perfectly working race car. oy. I now remember why I do all my own work. But I got all of the stuff out and actually close to getting most of it sold.
-3.64 OSGiken (sold)
-RRT "custom exhaust"
-Turner Motorsports Power Pullies (sold)
-Driveshaft
-UUC Evo 3 Short Shifter (Sold)
-aftermarket intake/intake box (sold)
-Ohlins Inverted coilover setup
-Active Autoworkes headers
-Radiator
-Water Pump (should have been a nice one, ended up being OEM, wtf)


Parts also started trickling in over the weekend.
-DiffsOnline Built 3.46 3-clutch Variable Ramp 30/90 REM polished gears LSD
-Tilton Single Disc 7.25-inch clutch/flywheel setup
-Head Adapter for Water Temp Sensor
-Achilles Motorsports Oil Pan Baffle
-Achilles Motorsports Upgraded Oil Pump Shaft/Sprocket
-Bimmerworld "SpecE46" Exhaust. Built by Magnaflow, this thing is actually really nice. It's pricey, but it doesn't hurt as bad when it is quality.


I also ordered a pretty ballin, not required piece. I admit this is definitely a "luxury" item, but after years of stock gauges/using an AIM Solo, and this piece JUST came out (And selling my diff/shifter/pulleys for more than I budgeted); I ordered an AIM MXL2. Replaces the dash/stock cluster, is built in data logger, aftermarket oil pressure/diff temperature/oil temperature/water temperature, brake sensor, steering sensor, tps, rpm etc. It does it all with built in warnings, shift lights, predictive laps, etc. Consider it my christmas gift to myself.



Since I was in the shopping mood, I also bought some items for the trailer. A couple of you know I bought a "new-to-me" trailer last month. A 36' Gooseneck with 24' Awning, diamond plate flooring, a/c, compressor, etc. So I bought an 8' tire rack, 2x 2-5gallon gas can holders, a toolbox for the trailer, and will be shortly ordering the cabinets/lockers to go in it. I also need to order new vinyl to get rid of the ford
