Project Cuntpact: The POS Cuntpact That Feels Sorry For Itself
Spoiling her and figuring out its problems
Hiya! The old missile got treated to a bunch of stuff this last week so figured an update is needed!
What has been done?
- Replaced the brake lines to braided ones
- Installed e46 control arms and modified hubs for more lock
- Installed aftermarket polybushed swaybar and new swaybar end links
- Went over the VANOS system and replaced the piston seals and cleaned the solenoid
- Repaired radiator
- Installed a new waterpump
- Got my new wheels fitted[/color]
I read up on what my loss of power problem could be. Came across a great forum that told me the primary fault that causes my issue is because of leaking VANOS Seals. So these were replaced while I was in there I also went ahead and cleaned the solenoid since I saw that some sludge was starting to build up. This seems to be a common problem with BMWs these days.... Anyways that should make it more responsive so yay! Next up would be engine upgrades. Injectors for example.
Most exciting upgrade would be the wheels. They are 15x10 American Racing Slot Mags wrapped with Toyo Proxes. 215s in the front and 225s in the rear.
Should be decent while skidding once the engine gets an overhaul!





(Why are my fenders black u ask? Because why not?
Really sets of the car IMO. Not really a big weightloss compared to the wheels that were on it but f#ck it, you gotta look good while going sideways into a wall! As far as I can tell they barely get away with not rubbing the arches. Will most likely try to go lower since there is plenty of thread left on the coilovers! Next on the agenda was adding more steering lock. Did the old cut and weld the knuckles and added e46 lower control arms for more track. All came out great in the end!

Ive gotten some parts ordered. Amongst them there is a stainless exhaust manifold from Turner Motorsports and a Walbro fuelpump. They should be here in a week so once that is here work continues to make this Cuntpact a bit less of a cunt!
