Thanks, just added some more stuff. I got interrupted earlier. Figured it was time to compile all the mods together instead of just posting in random threads.
 
Your welcome and thanks. More stuff is coming now that weather is getting better (downside of living in a loft and no longer having an enclosed garage). Have to get latest GT Spec brace I bought on, then pick up the rest of the parts for the rear Akebono's to install. Then need to put the HFC's on, then finally buy Osiris to get this thing tuned. Considering getting the Rookie bumper, but I'm so low and may go lower that I honestly worry about longevity.

Still need to clean up the engine bay, it's always dirty. I've pulled all the miscellaneous brackets already, so just need to tuck the passenger side wire harness and pick up some polished parts. Hate popping the hood right now, so grimy in there.

And trying to figure out what to do with interior. It looks so plain but I can't quite wrap my head around how to fix it. Probably going to start with steering wheel, need to pick up a cheap one and send it off to get redone in Alcantara. Then I may have some of the door panels redone in leather with prominent stitching. I love sitting inside new MB's where it looks like it took 80 cows to cover everything.

Decided I'm not going to boost the FX so I might as well make it more comfortable. The BMW can be the more sporty car, considering upgrading the turbos on that right now. Too many projects...

Car looks amazing man....same color set up as mine. Hey where do you get that Weapon-R coolant tank? Was it a direct fit or did you have
to modify it?

I bought mine from Concept Z, but they are available all over the internet.

It was pretty easy to install (like super easy), just remove the stock tank, empty contents into new tank, and mount the new tank by drilling one hole.

My tank was a slightly different style than Shadow's.

I will warn you however my tank was very poorly constructed, the lid got cross threaded when I hand tightened the cap down and now it cannot be removed. I am going to be replacing the weapon R tank with a Zirgo tank which was recommended to me by a local shop.

I was so disappointed by the weapon R tank. the cap was hand threaded on there, and now even after gripping the cap with a pipe wrench it ain't budging. The tank is also made of like the thinest material ever, which isn't a bad thing until you want to put it in a bench vice to get the cap off, in which case it collapses on itself.

/rant.

My reccomendation by a different brands universal overflow, and mount that. this one is shit.

*Sorry shadow, if you ahve a different opinion I can move this. Just sharing my experience with this product.
 
The Weapon-R tank I got was for a G35, can't remember where I purchased it from, but it's designed for the G35. It mounts without issue, the tab mounts where the stock one does.

I haven't had any issues yet, the thread for the cap is a little rough, I will agree. I had to put it on and take it off a few times to clean the threads, the first couple of times, it could have been easily cross threaded. I don't know if the material is thick or not since I haven't clamped it to anything, but I haven't dented mine yet.

Most of the more moderately priced tanks out there will have similar issues since they're mostly made in the same factories. I'm ok with the Weapon-R tank for the price. If I wanted to pay more, I would have gotten one of the tanks made by SCecxx or whatever his screen name on G35driver is, he makes very nice ones.
 
Thanks guys for all the input...thx Andy for the links to these. I will check on other brands but I agree for the price the weapon-R is just right. Maybe they are
making them better quality now...who knows

No problem here Damien; other then nitpcking on the writing on the cap was not facing the front of the car, so I had to use different thickness o-ring so when it tighten down it facing front.
