Finally after 14 years Of doing car shows I am going to get to get my car done... Starting with a BMW 335i.
Getting new front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts.
Intake
Inner cooler
Cat delete straight pipe
Straight race exhaust
Coil over suspension
Anti sway bar kit
Big brake kit
Cobb tuner
Wheels and tires....
Lowered probably an inch.. Wait to see how it looks...
About 15k worth of stuff.... Woohoo!
Here is a pic of the wheels... I wanted bronze colored, but the blacked out look is sweet too... It's just done a lot...
Power at wheels will go from 300 to about 425....

Nice dude. Post pics of the update. I speak for all the car guys here when I say we definitely need to see them. Also a before pic before you do any work :)
What show are you working on now?
-
This one is on carfix. A show I do for velocity. I need to take my car out to get before video so I'll get pics too. It's just a base model 335 black.
It's already plenty fast. Can't wait to get it pushing over 400.
-
I take it Carfix is the show you are working on?
-
Yeah. I produce direct write camera and sometimes edit. It's on 11am weekends on velocity....
Here is a pic of a car we just built.

Another shot

Nice dude. I'll have to check out the show. Just saw that I do get the Velocity channel from my cable provider (didn't even know I had it. Its very high up in the 700s range and I don't go past 170 :) ). I liked watching car programming in my teens. I remember you mentioning too that you worked on shows I watched (Shadetree Mechanic and Crank and Chrome I think?). I won't be able to watch it tomorrow because me and my girlfriend will he hitting up a museum that is showing the art of video games but I'll check my listings and catch it :)

There are some videos of it here.

Here's what she looks like today. I put the tune and the exhaust in. Way way faster.... But terrible drone right at freaking cruising rpm. Gotta figure that out. May have to put the cats back in....

Need to put some new rims on that shit. Where's clips when you need him. A black guy will tell you the right rims ;) Though there will be a lot of chrome :)
-
I thought Sir Mystiq was the rims expert on here. :D

He also claimed to have a girlfriend. Remember that gem?

Car should be done tomorrow.... It's pretty ridiculously fast already I don't know what the heck it's going to be like with inter cooler and cold air box and a more aggressive tune.
The tires they sent me for the wheels are track tires... Ugh.. So I'm just going to try and sell them... They are close to 400 a piece but they won't last me but a couple thousand miles tops. Really bummed cause the wheels will look great. Now I can't afford rubber for it.
-
Here is what we did... Although it's sporting race tires that I really don't want... Need to sell them...
-
Raced an M3 for the show and did just fine. Beat it 2 out of 3 times, but the M3 caught up quick and if they went any further it would have flown by....
-
Looking pretty good. So is this car going to be featured on your show?
-
Yeah. End of July.
-
Let us know when its airing. I'll check it out. Now that I know I get that channel :)
