Thanks for the kind words everyone. I picked up my M3 from the shop today - where the V is getting worked on as well. I was able to get a few cell phone shots of the brakes installed... I can't wait to see them behind the HREs!! Also a put a couple shots of my M3 up for you guys. Enjoy!




The Famous "F" is a decal for a friend that passed.

Yes, that was a fun day. The M3 has come a long way since then. I also have a low compression motor build in the works so I can turn up the boost!

Heres some pics of my X5M the day I bought it, and there are a couple other shots of when D2Forged asked to use my car to showcase some of their new wheels. As far as mods, this car is all around fantastic 'out of the box' especially being my daily driver. However, I will do a down-pipe, exhaust, and tune once I am a little more comfortable with the options on the market. Enjoy.

I think he was talking about the M5 in the pic with the black wheels. I agree that stance is nice, but it looks photo-shopped to me. Either way it looks nice.

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holidays. Thanks for the kind words guys. Hopefully I'll have some more pics soon.

I really torn about what tires to put on the HREs. Currently the rears are BFG Gforce KDW but the caddy ate them for dinner. The fronts are like new Michelin PS2. Should I just get a rear set of PS2 or do a full set of new Nitto NT05, or a full set of New KDW. Personally Im leaning towards selling the front PS2's and trying out the Nitto NT05's. Any input?

I would stay away from the KDWs they get to loud at the end of their life and the ride quality drops as well..I hated them for the last 5k i used them

If i had the cash i would go PS2 but im running HTZIII from sumi now. In my experience with the HTZIII has been a great summer tire. Very predictable and great in the FL monsoons as well..

I am not worried about noise, the car makes plenty of it already lol. I need traction. The car does not get driven in any wet weather whatsoever. PS2 was a great tire, but very pricey. I could get all brand new 4 nitto's for less than 2 rear PS2's...I wonder how they compare tread ware and traction. those are really the only two things i care about.
