Default BMW 357i - Startup

Hey guys, I've been mostly lurking on this board. With the build almost in completion, I wanted to share this as a bit of a teaser.

Full details too come in build thread, for now just enjoy.

Another short clip on the way to the exhaust shop today. Needs to have the muffler and cats welded to the modified block huggers.

People don't seem to know what to think when they see where the sound is emanating from, most just stare. No new videos yet, hopefully in the next few days. Car is back from the exhaust shop. Looks good eh?



If you look closely you can see the trans mount, all custom.
