How she looked the day I bought her



Steering wheel and also when it had all sorts of ghey stereo equip



Chilling in my g/f's garage



Lots o glare , I too once did not have projectors



The day I parked her in the garage for almost a year while I was turboing



experimenting with wheels





best seats ever



While I was building the kit



Fuel system



Playing around with oil drain



look at that nasty bumper (before paint)



Intercooler piping construction









me with my ub3r glare





The day she rolled out of the garage ( no exhaust 3" uncatted sounded voilent)





hiding away



a few days after she was running shooting with my freinds 468whp hatch





the happiest day of my life





test fit with 8" wide and 44 offset (everyone said would rub lol)



Before F2 suspension and a few other modifications







Me burning out at the track lol



but trapping 113mph lol



A few nice seats I had










The pos I drove while I was building her



and some stainless 3" pipping I ended up using for my exhaust



Adjusting projectors



lesson learned, don't plumb a catch can so it plugs both breather holes and doesn't vent. 12psi 130mph pull and blew a balancer shaft seal out along with all 5 quarts in about 3 minutes.





Whatever time for more mods . greddy t-belt and h23 tensioner



my only stickers



Fun little boost spike 18.7 psi



Some assorted pictures I collected

















good display of the beautiful fitment of 8" wide with 44 offset



cage before paint





cemetary photoshoot









suspension install









motor after she was cleaned up a bit







The last picture I got of her before I tore her down and sold her as a stock prelude



I'll throw some more pics in here as I find em

in the process of building an e46 m3 up.

way far in the future I'd like the following
-HRE 540r 19's in custom viper blue
-Vorsteiner double sided c/f trunk hood and diffusor
-F2 suspension
-kreis-seig valve-tronic exhaust
-supercharger 420whp when the price comes down from the bloody rediculous 10k they charge now

not really for several reasons
if you want your bmw to retain it's value you need receipts so dealer needs to do the work

-maintanance (valave adj. every 15k miles 1,200$)
-Inspection I and II first one is 1,400$ next one at 60k miles is over a thousand
-Tires (michilen ps2's 285/30/19 408$ each for the rears
-Modifying, A supercharger kit costs 10 grand
-the kreis-seig exhaust I want is 5 grand
-hre 540r mesh wheels are 7300$ w/o tires
-Moton suspension is over 3 grand
-carbond fiber vorsteiner csl bumper, diffusor, and trunk are almost 4 grand w/o paint

and not to mention the insurance and car payment , and it's just an m3 it's nothing unique like the prelude I built.
