The Phoenix
In this entry, I document my DIY installation of the CSL airbox in details and $#!@ at clamps. I look back at the long checklist of hardware along with the little , expensive and egregious things needed to successfully install a CSL airbox.
In this entry, a new kit shows up last minute from half way across the world. I unbox the upper chassis reinforcement kit and chat about its engineering and technical features.
In this entry, BMW gets sued. I touch on the original design flaws, BMW's attempt to fix it and how they fell short until the M3 V8s came around. I used my experience on the Phoenix's restoration to provide insights.
In this entry: BMW once (or twice) recalled bearings - AH! I chat history and variants of bolts. We button up the S54's bulletproofing by replacing the rod bearings with the ACL standard set.
In this entry, money gets shifted: the RTD shifter got bolted & center'ed by InnovAuto and I finally got to fool around to get a feel for it, with video proof.
In this entry, I unbox my new
RTD short shifter, chat specs and discuss what makes this special.
