Hey guys!

So I've had this car for about 2 or 3 months now.. I forget already, my brain just isn't in it today!

Anyway, I have intentions to build it up more, but all in time. I have a house build to ensure I have money for!

So far this is what I've got:

19" FG Dark Argent wheels (Wanted TSW Bathurst, but budgets kicked in)

2.5" dual Venom exhaust in Stainless Steel

Toyo Proxes T1S tyres with raised letters painted (Bored&Broke 10kw increase type thing)

Future:

Looking at a Process West package + dump pipe + tune (saving up - want to do it all in one hit)

Lower springs and shocks (or maybe coil overs)

Stereo goodies, get more hectic doof for more rwkw's.

Clean up the front bar - covered in stone chips, plus there is some cosmetic damage on the front insert which annoys me. Was there when I got it, didn't bother me at first =/

Here are some pics:

Never knew bmws could do a skid :P

Youve had some nice cars man...

Has the 20inch argents made that gap disappear? Surely you have springs in the last pic (4th pic 1st post?)

They're 19" Argents! And nope, I haven't done springs, stock height!

And thanks :) haha yep, they sure can! Just seems most who drive them don't tend to know it's possible, right? ;)

Thanks :) I needed to step down the money I put in to cars, and this was great bang for buck! Plus I wanted to try the Aussie thing, always been keen on the Typhoons since they first came out!!

Thanks for the links! CMS did my rear diff bushings, and fit my Truetrac diff centre. Forgot that one on my list, along with the Whiteline sway bars I fitted!

I'll contact Pat once I'm ready to do more :D

Damn it, why did you have to show me the Process West group buy! I'm meant to be behaving! Hahaha..

So it seems you can't edit a post after a while?

To add to mod list:

Whiteline Sway Bars

TrueTrac Diff Centre

And other goodies are RDA Dimpled/Slotted Rotors, Intima SR brake pads. Better and prettier light globes for even more RWKW bonus.

Next track day is booked 22nd December, so I'll see how much better I go this time haha yay

I second the RDA's they're sh1t house mate and be careful on your track day. I'll give it 2 months after track day and they will need replacing. Including new pads. Maybe ask santa for new rotors and pads for Christmas.

You going to Wakefield for the track day?

Yes forgot Pat has new job but still worth the call.
