I bought some 2 pieces RH, I'll post a teaser when these arrive!

[Back_in_Black]

What rims are you buying?

[Laef]

Cheers guys! I really start to love this thing as it is haha, can't wait for the new wheels to arrive!

That's a shame I couldn't come to Players but I just start a job, so no car show for me this year, again...

Will post the rest of the pics tonight!

EDIT: Oh and I think I'm gonna raise up the rear a little 'cause i'm tired of scraping every time I have one passenger on board... Really like how it looks but I also love my car and don't want to brake it more than it is underneath haha

[Mehowski]

Mad mate! Would absolutely be chuffed with this if it was my own car

Come down to Players this year! bring some friends and make a road trip of it all

[Lukey]

looks pimp!!

Hello?

Bye

[Laef]

Just leaving some pics from the past days:

Liked the light reflection on the wet windows



Then a Cayman parked next to me at work



Lost an exhaust bracket because of the lowlife haha (not)



Got back on the Borbets after buying some used tires





Then I took care of my exhaust system (well, kinda)



It looked pretty redneck





Cut 3 inches off of it and almost managed to center the pipes in the hole



Oh, and I met the local hookah mafia



PS: I'm about to get new wheels as I can no longer see the Borbets for now (I'm keeping them tho)...
Hint, these may be some split RH's

[Laef]

Pleasure man! That means a lot so thank you!

[Mehowski]

I'm very proud to have my brand represented on such a clean car - great job mate and thank you!

[Laef]

Thanks man!

Well yeah, after a few months of driving with the Nardi, I have this feeling about it too.
Esthetically speaking, I'd like it to be bigger but honestly I love it as is.

If you can tell me more about your electric fan it''ll be greatly appreciated haha! This is a solution I would consider! Long story short, my overheating issue was resolved by replacing the radiator (again, for a brand new one), and the two fan clutches I ordered were defective haha... So right now I'm running the old one which do nothing, but it works.

Enough speaking, here's some pics and the exhaust vid, for those who didn't seen it on my IG page :



Also I'd like to give a shout out to Mehowski and the Candyshowroom page for the sticker!







Aaaand...

[hi its me alec]

Nice progress, man!

I have Bilstein HD on my car and absolutely love it.

Honestly I'm not a fan of that Nardi in the car, just had to say it. It's a nice steering wheel, but doesn't seem 'correct'. I got the same one for my uncle's E9 and I feel the same way about it.

I deleted my mechanical fan and got an electric fan, wired to a toggle switch right now, and I'm thinking about hooking it up to a relay and temperature sensor to turn on automatically. There's all kinds of room in there now in front of the motor, without that big ass fan

On mine, I kept the stock muffler and just deleted the resonators. Sounds pretty good, but I always wondered what it would sound like if I did it the other way. So yeah, you should just buy some nice tips and do a muffler delete. Post lots of videos

[Laef]

Ok, so I had in mind to modify my exhaust some times ago, I think Im just gonna cut the rear muffler off and see how it goes haha

This is happening tomorrow i think

[Laef]

Dont ditch the Borbets!!!!!

I know... But in the other hand I want split wheels so bad

[fackinsteve]

Dont ditch the Borbets!!!!!

[Laef]

No he actually lives near Marseille but okay

Hahaha, you've already been in France for too long
