The worst part was that I asked for everything I needed to swap into the Ti from the start up, since its a swap I wanted everything at one go, I bought an engine before from a yard before and it was a long block, which was fine as it was a replacement swap, but this time was just a bad experience for me, there was no communication and I sat in the dark wondering what is happening or if at all after the engine was dropped off.

All around, they don't have the Ti on listing, but just order a Z3 and you can spec the spring rates, I went with 8k all around, might go with 8k/10k later on.

Right now I have a question/problem, I used E36 M3 exhaust from mid section all the way back, shorten it and got it fitted, but I had to trim the left side of the diffuser to let the dual tips fit and frankly, I don't like it, you can't tell from 10 ft away but you can see the trimming up close, will 323ti diffuser clear the tips? and does anyone sell them in North America?

Hey Sam,

Car is looking great, Rudy sent me the video from Mosport, he said the car was a blast to drive (My answer was I told you so ). Did you ever figure out your diffusor issue? I'll PM you on Max, see if I can help out.
