Default I knew I would never be able to keep this car stock!

I always knew I would never be able to keep this car stock, so, I started with some stuff:

<img src="http://lh5.google.com/UneekTT/RzhamUZHGyI/AAAAAAAABrs/8nPGXdrlzTE/s800/BMWBrembo2.jpg">

And of course, a close up shot too:

Those are the slotted/drilled rotors and the painted calipers - but you can not see the Hawk HPS pads, and I still have to install the SS brake lines too.

I also decided to install the front lip, so I painted, and painted again, and then installed - like so:

<img src="http://lh5.google.com/UneekTT/RzhamUZHGxI/AAAAAAAABrk/8L61Rm775w4/s800/BMWlip.jpg">

And next weekend, I have more too

Your thoughts?

Default Wheels don't match that car at all. Is the tires' aspect ratio correct? Looks short.

And yeah, lower it. that positive camber up front sure don't do any good.

Default You gonna track it?.....

If so, SS lines will stiffen up the pedal a ton. For the street, well, hardly worth it.

I do hve to say, it looks like you are into fisting cause you could stick a fist between the fender and wheel. Slam that thing man!

Heh.

Default Yes, and yes, I already have them ....

I was going to install the lines this weekend, but time got short, but they will go on.

And I can not wait to slam it and track it - C'mon Summer!
