MOD 129 - OIL PAN BAFFLE
The covid lock down here in Melbourne has put the skids on modding for the past few months. But with restrictions being eased, I got a chance to hang out with Vince today working on the car First job for the day was to drop the front sub frame, remove the oil pan and weld in a vac ms oil pan baffle This device prevents oil starvation when cornering at high speed and is a must do mod, if you plan to track your car New baffle, oil pan gasket and an oil change ..... bonus Pics below Pics 1 & 2 - VAC MS baffle Pics 3 & 4 - Vince welding baffle into oil pan Pic 5 - Front sub frame Pic 6 - Underside of engine with oil pan removed Pic 7 - Oil pan reinstalled |

MOD 130 - TURNER ENGINE MOUNTS
While we had the front sub frame out, we took the opportunity to install some new engine mounts The turner engine mounts are beefier then the 335i mounts and will stiffen up engine movement Could not feel much of a difference tbh but I am sure they will help in the twisties Pics 1 & 2 - Turner engine mount Pic 3 - 335i vs Turner Pic 4 - Installed |

MOD 131 - SERVOTRONIC STEERING ASSIST
Installed the M3 steering rack a while back and unlike the stock rack, the M3 has the option for variable steering weight The steering is light at low speeds (parking etc) and changes to heavy at high speeds Requires a new control box (from a Z4) some programming and soME wiring magic to get this it to work Steering is very light compared to the heavy steering of the M3 rack May need some extra coding to dial a bit more weight and a quicker rate of change Pic of new control box below |

Good stuff socks. I have an M3 rack and what I hopefully think is the right JBBF to get servotronic working. Do you know the part number for the rack-end of the servotronic wiring, and the pins that go in the junction box?

The box you need is from a Z4, the stock 335 one wont work (pic below from the website where I purchased my control box so you can check the numbers against yours) Re the wiring we made our own harness. Vince did the wiring install. I think it was pins 5 and 6 but I'm not 100% sure. He also had to do a specific flash to get it to work.

You just need a junction box 3, we tried different flashes on the junctionbox 2 but that didn't work.

MOD 132 - SPEAKER PODS
Regular readers will know that I am still working on the audio upgrade in the car. With the sound proofing done, I am now working on a SQ tune. It is a lot more difficult then I thought and I have a new found respect for car audio tuners. Meanwhile I managed to break the tweeter pods when trying to reinstall them, so I decided to have a go at fabricating up some myself using some metal pods I had in my parts bin. Basically these were made for my focal speakers as A pillar pods, but I decided to make them into an adjustable ball and socket pod in the OEM speaker positions. I did the tweaters first and then the mids, using a combination of epoxy, metal braces and butterfly clamps. Not perfect but came out ok and can I adjust the speaker axis to where I want and clamp them down again Pics below: Pic 1 - Close up of pod (basically a metal ball) Pics 2 & 3 - Passenger side pods Pics 4 & 5 - Drivers side pods Pics 6 & 7 - Inside view passenger and drivers side Pic 8 - View from back seat Last edited by Socket; 11-10-2020 at 04:39 AM.. |

Will keep an ear out for that mate but so far I have not noticed any difference. I will be going for a drive in the mountains on Friday, so will let you know how they perform

Have done a bit of work and tbh I am getting close to calling it done Next mod is to install a M3 master cylinder (to improve the stopping power) and of course to finish off the SQ audio tune, which is proving far more difficult then I thought it would be. Might have to move the speakers around again, but geez I hope not Glad you like the car, (thanks again), If you need any help or advice with urs, I'd be happy to help Cheers Socket |

Are you also going to code (or have you already coded) the VO to add SPBR for "high performance" brakes since you've got a BBK? |
