Its been a long while!

I bought an E36 to turn into a spec3 racecar so I've been focusing a lot of my time (and money) on that.
That being said I got a couple things done this past weekend:
* Turner motorsport intake
* some aliexpress fender liners so my wheels done rub in reverse at lock
* andddd cleaned my front wheels while I had them off (its been a minute)

Admittedly I was real dumb...I have the CSL style DRLs to go on too but forgot I needed the fender liner off for it and by the time I looked it up the car had been dropped back down and everything put back in so they didn't get done. I can probably get it done this week but I just completely forgot.

Intake sounds good, noticeabe but not LOUD. Comparing it to the supra with the single turbo isn't fair (which is expected) but its just nice to get some induction noise. It looks good, parts were good quality except for the driver side airbox mounting holes for the grommet pins, they were a little undersized and I needed to drill them out to fit their own screws. Installation was quick and easy, took about 45 minutes.

The fender liners were fine as well, didn't expect them to be perfect but they were fine. Riveted them in place once I got the old "grille" cut out and cleaned up. I used some metal sheers to cut the old plastic out and then a dremel cut wheel and sanding wheel to clean up areas a bit. Its not perfect but it works well and is hidden. Plus no rubbing when backing into the driveway/garage, so thats a huge plus.

Also attached a bonus picture of the E36 Spec3 car (I have headlights just not on after redoing the coolant system)

Made a youtube channel to go through my build of that car so thats also been taking a lot of my time. Hoping to have it ready for the last event at NJMP this year in Nov. I'm still in HPDE1 but really looking forward to racing that car.

Hope all is well everyone!
