I actually have a painter in springfield. Jerry's collision off of Backlick road.

I'm waiting to put on my kit this weekend...He had my car and test fitted and did some slight modifications to it to make it fit.

I can give you his number if you like.

BUT if you can, "since i can't", go to youtube, look up 3.9 rear end or something of that nature.. there was a vid or a couple of them with the all bolt on/tuned with 3.9 gear racing a stock v8 m3 and kept up with him/her...

AND it was in NOVA... so i thought someone would have known about this..

YouTube and FB are funny at my job. Sometimes they just mysteriously quit working so I'll wait until I get back to the house to look.

Looks that way as well... supposedly from reading his responses, he was tuned but had gotten a better tune later or something......Nevertheless...If it took that m3 that long to catch up and pull later, then I think his mods are worth it

My buddy in his 03 w/ bolt-ons, tune, and 3.9 gears can rape the new M3's anyday. He also gave a boosted Z a run for his money. The Z only pulled 1 car length by the time they shut off.

yeah i drive it daily, sometimes take it to the track and get on it around the corners but other then that nothing crazy....yet...need to learn how to "really" drive and drift.
