I lived there from 96-99 on Robb Dr. back when that was far out. Great town. I miss it a bit. I love the skyline photo. Probably would look great at night. Well have a Merry Christmas!

What's to say? haha. My brother just got back after his 4th tour in Iraq/Afghan and bought it a few days ago before x-mas. He drove 5 hours to get it and is towing it back home to S. Cali. It has a roll cage welded in, an engine from a trans am, and GC coilovers. BTW Adam, when are you going to let me know how much the hybrid turbo is going to cost? I already have a spare turbo S sitting in my garage????

 

Its so beautiful...

Sebastien, those are excellent seats! You are SO ready for the track - right from the git-go. Are you going to add some creative stripping? Of course, it could've looked a little better in Laser Blue, but to each his own

 

pleading ignorance here: but are those a factory upgrade for the 2011s or a custom ordered aftermarket?

 

Those are European OEM JCW WORKS seats made by Recaro for BMW. I believe they're a JCW option over there and are not available here. I got mine from Schmiedmann's in Denmark. They ain't cheap, but are they ever worth to price!

 

WTF... why does Europe get all the good stuff?!?!?!

 

that orange is superb.

 

I am at a loss of words, your car is magnificent. You should attempt to model it in some tuner mags, I'm sure it would make a decent entry. Where did you get that boost gauge? And are you using the NM boost sensor tap? I have the same wheels , was thinking about getting some lighter black 5-spoke rims however. I don't want to spend too much and I like the Elbrus I04s but they are the same weight almost and I would have to paint them.

 

"GOTHAM"

 

HEY MINI COUPE......how did you cover your crome? how did you make them black?

 

I was planning to add some striping yes, but I haven't got no clue what will be fitting well on the car, because I will be installing the carbon scoop as well.

I did not know they couldn't be bought in the USA. It's a JCW option indeed, like the carbon scoop, mirror caps,... Very expensive, I paid € 3400 or $ 4500 for the two seats.

You can always order them and fit them yourself, I don't think it's difficult, but I had them fit by the dealer. I think you'll find the most cheap ones in the UK.

 

Here are some winter pictures. Not going to apologize for the dirty car .http://www.flickr.com/photos/21338088@N07/5300031780/http://www.flickr.com/photos/21338088@N07/5299442129/http://www.flickr.com/photos/21338088@N07/5300047282/http://www.flickr.com/photos/21338088@N07/5299450571/

 

Johnny, Love your pictures, Do you size them to be narrow?

GothmDoc,

Thanks! Yeah i have the psiclone map tap, it is the same thing as the nm just not blue lol

I really dig that pic you took in the cafe, what was that a shutter of around 1/30-1/50?

I have been experimenting with my r/c cars so i can get my rolling shots moving

I would love to submit to a mag, just gotta lower first lol dont want anyone looking up my baby's skirt!

 

Bigprfed22, yea i do. I rid of the clutter and make it look cleaner. Pictures was taken on my way to my sister's for x-mas day, didn't have time to move the car around. If you were closer you and i can really make some great pictures downtown on the street. One drives and the other takes pictures .

 

4 eyes are better than 2. I am such a perfectionist i cant get any one i know that is good enough with a camera or car to take pics or drive.

 

Those Euro Recaros are sweet. That is expensive for 2 seats but I am not that happy with my 2010 S stockers and was hopiing the JCW will be better.

 

Mine...
