Ta muchly. Liking that very much.
no maf? will you need an AlphaN map?
Yes, correct on both counts.no maf? will you need an AlphaN map?
Here's a clip of an E46 with it fitted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE80p-HvJMI
The white E46 is a wrapped CSL, and the red car is an M3 with the GSR airbox and Alpha-N map. In terms of sound there's nothing in it.

I hope you have a better experience than a mate who bought one a few years back
That's interesting, are you sure it was a GSR box? I'm not sure they have been released for much more than a year and a half. I'm part of a group buy for the box and everyone else so far has been delighted. Apparently it completely transforms the engine.What was your friends experience?

I fitted my GSR box last week and had it mapped at Evolve yesterday. It is quite simply an awesome bit of kit and the boys at Evolve know their onions 
It's the best mod I've done to a car since fitting a supercharger to the Mustang.
I really can't wait It's the best mod I've done to a car since fitting a supercharger to the Mustang.
Do you have any more M Power decals available?olly22n said:
iirc his was for an e36 evo. I'll point him in this direction, but seem to remember the thing was full of gaps.
Hopefully they have got better since.
OK, I think they must have. Thanks.Hopefully they have got better since.
Incredible attention to detail, thanks for sharing!
How have you got on with the Alcantara steering wheel? My car has one from the factory (retrimmed a few months ago), and I must admit I think for longer journeys a leather wheel is nicer, and much less difficult to keep in good condition.

Wunderbar!
As others have already said, your attention to detail is only to be applauded. I have similar levels of vehicle-based OCD, but I don't have the funds available (yet) to satisfy my needs! Though the running costs on my old barge are getting on for that of an M3, so maybe I should just take the plunge :manmathsmiley:

I like them. I try to get them in my cars whenever possible though I wouldn't want one in a daily driver (leather steering wheel equipped Golf GTi for those duties How have you got on with the Alcantara steering wheel?

); for me they add to the sense of occasion in a car. Given the retrim costs have become very reasonable these days I tend to view them as something to be refreshed every couple of years.
