Default Repainted the **** *****..

Still redline red but she's like brand new again.. Some changes:

Filled in the Varis intake hole.. Removed the Top Secret lip for now because it was scrape city and I grew tired of that.. Removed a ton of stickers including the red stripe around the rims.. going for an even more conservative look in it's old age. Need new tires and an alignment next..

Just a couple of pics for now










Been busy with the M3.. that's why I've been neglecting the Asian *****.. here's how the Euro **** stands now with a few more things to do this year =)

Hating the BMW tax.. An Amuse exhaust costs 3x more than the Amuse exhaust on the 350Z.. but yet, it's practically the same design!!!! and the Amuse trunk on my M3 costs as much as my entire Nismo V1 kit + top secret lip + CF hood ..WTF! lol





fear teh orange peel!












tonester wrapped the center panel in CF for me a while back.


that's all for now!

Holy ****, I just looked up how much that exhaust costs for the m3. Is it the full exhaust or just the rear section? Thats crazy! But so sweet. I've always been a fan of your Z. Love the m3.

Do you happen to have the first picture of your M in a higher resolution? I need a new background.

As opposed to the wallpaper I'm using now.

Thanks! it's the rear section for now.. and that cost me as much as the GReddy twins on the Z INSTALLED ... I found someone selling a used front section recently but dammit someone beat me to it by 6 freakin' hours... so i'm still looking.. I don't wanna pay the $5K for a new front section because you can't even see the damned thing under the car. I'd rather spend the money on a new BMW Performance Steering WheelzZz for it... and that's probably like 1.5K lol

somewhere's around 10 Erie Street Cambridge MA.. You can google map street view it The building looks bombed out but I think it's occupied by MIT.. there was a couple of MIT Solar Team trucks parked in the lot anyways.

Wow man, 5k for the front section is ridiculous but it makes your car so original, as it already is. Keep up the good work, i'm sure you will haha.

Any plans for the engine of the m3? I couldn't even imagine the pricing on that though.

The only motor mods i have right now is a Dinan reflash and Dinan intake.. Since maintenance on the car is so expensive I'm not in any rush to void my warranty.. Supercharger systems start around $12K.. and stroker motors start around $25K.. Dinan makes a stroker for it.. I could go that route and still keep my warranty.. or $28K I could buy a 370Z

but a part of my thinks I should leave the bimmer's motor alone and just power up the Z because it's "cheaper" to get some serious HP.. After all, the bimmer is my daily driver.. so that's my dilema lol..

Very true no fun voiding a brand new warranty, whatever you decide i'm sure it'll be sweet, i'll look forward to seeing it as well.
