What's up guys? I'm fairly new here and figure I'd let everyone see what I drive!

First off, I bought my car April 26th of this year from Texas Auto Online, a company out of houston texas.

Here is the original thread it was posted in by someone who spotted it on ebay:

According to the car's history report, it was registered to one singe owner all of it's life in plano texas (my metroplex), and then sold to Texas Auto Online from some BMW dealership.

The body has only a few of the most minor dings, it runs and drives perfect, and I love it to death.

Here is the list of aftermarket stuff already installed at the time of purchase:

• Comptech Headers
• Comptech B-Pipe
• Comptech Catback
• Magnaflow (looks to be universal) cat
• Comptech Icebox
• Comptech Springs
• Tokico Blues for struts

As it came:
















First thing I did was buy new tires and brakes. Tires are Fuzion ZRis from firestone. My buddy is tire manager and needed to meet his monthly quote so I got em for $281 out the door with full warranty... couldn't resist.

Brakes are EBC red stuff and EBC sport rotors, front only for now. They're waiting for legend calipers and the front pads to wear out before installation.





Also waiting to be installed, once I find 3 more parts at a less than rediculous price, is a custom carputer. It will be mounted where the OEM navi would be and will be powered by a dockable samsung Q1 in the glove compartment. I already installed an MA Audio 10" sub tied in with an L.O.C. since I'll be using the stock head unit. Here's the parts already acquired for the carputer:







On the list for the future is rims, a tl lip kit and an oem spoiler and i'll call it done (unless I come across a really good deal on a Comptech S/C ).
I also have some RX330 AFS projectors, Celica Clear lenses and replica E46 shrouds laying around from some old projects so I may pick up a 50w HID kit and get a little retrofit action going, but that has yet to be decided.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think!

 

Clean ride man.....carefull, I have been saying that I am done modding my car for 3 years now, but there is always that "ONE MORE THING TO GET" lol! And also, welcome to the forums!

 

Nice car, I bought my SSM on April 27th. I remember seeing this one on ebay when looking for mine.

 

this is random i know, but...does anyone know if the type-s white speedometer bezels/guages are somethin u can buy and put into a CL-P?

 

p.s. - car looks good dude, ur way ahead of the game with these mods already installed at time of purchase. how much did u pick it up for if u dont mind me asking?

 

i think i found what you are looking for....

Actually, I don't mind at all. it ended up bieng $14,052 after TTL with a little bit of talking em down. I was happy with the price and got EXACTLY the car I wanted, with a few bonuses.

 

fix that hole in ur sock.. =P


nice list of mods present and future... biter jk

 

nice pick up 6 speed ftw. I bet that thing sounds great and u didnt even have to waste money doin it lol

 

yeah but the listing u pulled up is for a 2001. i think id need a 2003? or no? and it would be parts 6,7,8 correct?

 

Man I hope those brackets hold the box in your trunk down. I've tried EVERYTHING and my damn box eventually vibrates free. I finally got a hold of a box that just fits really snug so I wouldn't have to waste time turning the inside of my trunk into swiss cheese.

 

Welcome to the forum. Lots of info here. Good call on the 6speed only way to go. Nice looking car btw. Good luck with the mods, you wont be done that soon trust me.

 

the white bezel is for the type-s only and yes its parts 6,7,8. what is the color for the cl-p?

 

Actually, the reason I took a picture of the bracket is because of it's sturdiness. That stuff is 3/8" thick stainless with (4) 3/8" self drilling bolts per side. Those bolts work awesome because You also end up with a really great ground that's usually noise free.

Trust me, it's there until I decide otherwise! lol.

 

wow that carputer is absolutely awesome...where did you get it? thats something worth looking into? does that have like navigation on it?

 

It's just a UMPC running some proprietary samsung "frontend" software with a CLS in the background.

Samsung Q1

I plan on using a real front end like RoadRunner or Centrafuse. For Nav, I have streets and trips but it doesn't function super great as a standalone navi tool. I may splurge and get iGuidance, but we'll see.

I'm actually going to dock this in my glove compartment and have a Liliput touch monitor mounted in the dash. That way I have both OEM looks and extreme portability. I don't wanna sit in the car or lug a PC enclosure into the house anytime I need to customize my setup.

 

just black like the rest of the dash. im not tryin to thread jack...but does anyone know if the type-s and cl-p speedo cluster gauges are interchangeable/direct swap?

 

i dont see why it wouldn't i feel like the only difference is the color.
