No Big plans Bro. Just replacing old items when i get a chance. Either OEM replacement or upgrade were possible.
Still lots to do to get it perfect

I know the feeling.., always OEM or better, in some cases where upgrades are available, the cost difference makes it a no brainer.

Some resurrection. But first off big ups on spending the time and effort on maintaining and building it . It looks really neat and tidy. I always wanted to know how would the hood lining look in a darker color and I must say id really consider going that route when the time comes. I hope you still have your car and it's treating you well.
This brings me to a question. How's the impact of the lightened flywheel and clutch on driveability ? I've heard some say that town driving and shifting gears takes some getting used to . Any change in economy or performance cruising on longer journeys ?

Hey Bud,
Still have the car and in daily use.
The Flywheel kit i bought actually feels stock hey. Has the OEM feel with faster acceleration. I did replace some of the parts that came with the clutch kit with OEM parts. An example would be the trust bearing. The OEM one just felt better quality than what came in the kit.
I cant speak to economy. I drive it to have fun lol, never did an economy run.

Since this post was bumped
Heres a small update:
Replaced the Coilovers on the car with ISC Advanced kit. The gents at Ultra Racing have been great to adapting the kit for my needs.
A few Back and forth to get the ride how i wanted it for a daily drive. This is a quality kit. Looks and feels the part. Massive difference with handling and overall ride quality.
Some Pics:
And just some random pic i have. Nothing much has changed:

Thanks Bud.
Lots off time and effort.... oh and cash.
Its not the fastest thing on earth but the small tweaks and upgrades make a big difference.
This car just gets better and better.. Between this and M3boi's E36 the want is so real for an E36, they are special cars. Well done bru!
Many people don't get it's not about being the fastest but the feeling you get from the drive. I still have stupendous fun in the E46 and it's only marginally above the limit, in the E92 I have to be going twice as fast to get that same feeling.

Thanks Bru, I agree. 100km/h feels like 200km/l 🤣
That raw drive is very fun compared to the newer gen cars.
Would still love more power though. Time will tell what i do next power wise
