I already have a feeling you're one of those people who thinks it's cool to be rude.

Welcome to StanceWorks.

This should be interesting....Nice plates

Welcome to StanceWorks

[OSSHWA]

Welcome. Whereabouts in VA are you?

[mcoupemindy]

love it.

not biased at all with bmw though. i actually **** them



:

Thanks man! I've had the car about 3.5 years now - just finally getting it fast enough for my taste.

Aww what a cute red rocket....

And I have you to thank for making me into a wheel whore? Just wait until I find the pictures of you looking like a grease monkey!

Looks good. whats the specs on it.

I won't go into all the glorious details, but it's a home brew, piece together kit that I hand picked for the best parts. Right now its about 390-400 at the wheels. Car weighs 3250 with an oversized driver in it (me). Boost is 11.5 psi at redline. Last time it was dynoed it put down 386 WHP @ 6800 and 332 WTQ @ 5100. It's running a tad better now too, so hopefully we'll be able to get it over the 400 hump soon. (DynoDynamic Dyno - not high reading DynoJet). A cool thing about the setup is that I'm over 300 WTQ from 4500 RPM to 6500 RPM and it's above the 275 WTQ line from 4000 RPM to redline (currently 7000 RPM).

Wheels are Fikse FM-10's. 17" all around. Fronts are 9's - 7" inners and 2" outers / Rears are 10's / 7" inners and 3" outers.

<<<< Likes this.
Welcome.

Thanks!

BMWs suck

Agreed! That's why this is my fourth one.

I appreciate the bullet points, very easy to follow.

I'm an accountant by trade, so I'm not good with English. I find I make less errors with bullet points.

Cool clown shoe.

Welcome to StanceWorks

Thanks! I used to be offended when people called it a clown shoe - well, not really. It's been called a lot worse.

Eek. A BMW on FM10s. I see we share a bad taste in cars.

Welcome to SW.

Please thank user mscire2 for the bad influence on wheel choice!

Nice , you own the ugliest BMW ever made, love it

Thanks!

That's the nicest looking clown shoe I ever did see.
I love those m coupes.

Thanks! It's hard to have a nice looking, purpose built fast car.

I would like to know the wheel and tire measurments. That thing looks mean... in an ugly, yet attractive way.


I like it.

As above, the wheels are 17x9 front and 17x10 rear.

Tires are 255's up front, 295 in the back. I would really like to go a bit wider in the rear to get some more hook, but a 40mm stagger is already a bit much for fast times. I have a feeling that I'm going to try to find a way to stuff 275's on the front within the next couple of years so that I can finally run a 275/315 combo. We'll see what happens. Not sure that I can do it without a BFH, and the thought of that makes me want to cry.

I'm not sure if you've ever been in a modified M Coupe, but the snap oversteer and ability to spin on a dime is rather scary. Add in a tad too much power and you have a death trap.

Hmmmmm average..............





Love it. Not biased either.....see sig ;-)

I think I need an e36 for a daily driver again. Hmm ...

holy shitballs those are some meaty tires...car looks like it'd be a blast to drive.

Thanks man. It is insane to drive. 1st and 2nd are basically useless on the street unless you have a really heavy passenger and a hooker in the hatch.

Haha, I'm totally confused by the sarcastic passive aggression! I like M Coupes

Thanks! I'm not aggressive at all - LOL! I'm more that fat kid at school that got beat up for not giving away his cupcake.

I already have a feeling you're one of those people who thinks it's cool to be rude.

Welcome to StanceWorks.

Seriously, I'm really a nice guy. Most of my spare time is spent fixing my car or helping people fix their cars.

This should be interesting....Nice plates

Welcome to StanceWorks

Thanks! A lot of people are confused by them until I explain. (Hint: If you're reading this and confused by CONE ETR, see the first pic in the original post - it should help.)

Welcome. Whereabouts in VA are you?

I live in Aldie, VA. South Riding is a mile up the street.

I'm trying to find a video of the car so that you can hear it too. If you love loud exhaust, you're going to love my car!

Thanks all for nice comments. I'm sure I won't be posting a ton here, but I'll be lurking around.

Found a couple of videos highlighting the noise of the car:

(Please note my friend in the background saying "Shut off the lawn mower!" - )

I really want to get a video of it throwing a fireball some time - scared the crap out of me the first time as I was out on a dark road and it looked like a flash of lightning behind me.

[Average_Jerk]

I want that motor in my car lol

welcome

[wRek]

I will retract my previous statement for the time being. Your last post seems much friendlier than your first.

[Vipkindaguy]

nice & agressive, welcome.

[Atlantian]

Your car is sick. <3
