Seriously though, I keep coming back to this thread this morning. I think I prefer the way your car looks now opposed to a GT2 RS. Subtle and clean as hell.

Oh lol, figured from is homecountry flag + I though the letters on plate were blurred except for "GT", which makes it look like an EU plate.

I am busy building a new ESS VT2 625 E90 DCT M3 with them at the same time so those parts arrived with the Porsche parts

M3 build here

Oops I did it again - BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92)

I will have the guys do a photo journal of each stage of the EVT install:

parts going onto the car:

1. GT2 RS rear bumper with white LED tails
2. GT2 RS steering wheel/GT2 RS carbon ducts and wing mirror covers
3. GT2 RS front splitter and wider front wheel arch conversion
4. Techart rear wing adjustable geurney flap
5. Stage 3 super-sport clutch with aluminum lightweight single mass flywheel
6. Club sport inter-coolers
7. IPD Competition Intake and 82mm Throttle Body Plenum
8. EVOMS high energy ignition coils
9. EVOMS intake manifold conversion
10. Club-sport crank under drive pulley
11. Silicone inlet ducts
12. EVT VTG turbochargers with 65mm billet compressor wheels
13. RSS Adjustable Rear Link Kit
14. RSS Non-Adjustable Front/Rear Control Arms
15. RSS Adjustable Toe Steer Kit
16. RSS Adjustable Front/Rear Control Arms
17. RSS Adjustable Front Toe/Bump Steer kit
18. RSS 2 sets of Black 5mm and 7mm Wheel Spacers with black lugs


Now the wait. Car will be in for at least 3-4 weeks as the turbos have to come out and get shipped to EVOMS in the US for the modification process.

While that happens I have to run my M3 in so I can fit the supercharger

Handling is noticeably better and the car feels very planted and more stable in comparison

EVOMS parts go in from Monday next week.
So the spacers made this difference in feeling planted and stable? I thought they were just for cosmetics. Please clarify.
Very nice pics by the way, really want those wheels.

I'm a bit skeptical about the spacer issue. I had spacers at one point and I actually thought that it made my car feel "less" planted so I took them off. Maybe it's different on the GT2.

RS runs wider fronts and 245 tires

Try fit a 5mm front spacer and feel the difference. Slightly wider track should make sense?
