[QUOTE=Helmsman;19393909]Hey man, took a couple of pics from my front seates. Not to bragg bro but just to point out with some care they can be kept quite nice.
Car is becoming 5 years in a couple of weeks, seats looks close to new in reality although turned out a bit shiny due to the mobile cam.
Been using BMW's stuff initially but Went over to Chemical guys since some time.

That'll be interesting to see!
In fact when I picked up my car (used) it had scratches on the side bolsters while the rest of the seats where fine. I immediately went to a leather seat pro who "painted" the side bolsters. Two years since, looks still like new so scratches are quite possible to fix.
The stretched Novillo I think is the main challenge, as it's so soft it easily happend should one lean with one hand on the seat while doing work etc. Reading about people who "shrink" it back using warm towels, heat guns etc. No personal experience here though.

Oh, and yes I tend to be quite clear in my intructions when people ride in my car to no have shit in their back pockets etc...

Finally going Forced Induction...

Been a while, so lots of news...

Got enough expendable cash to supercharge it right and do a few other mods simultaneously, while the S/C is being installed...Time to start really researching...The car should be under construction by May 1st and back on the road within 2 weeks...Just in time for summer.

Question, I've settled on the ESS kit, maybe methanol injection to to protect the engine from knock....I'm a very experienced mechanic. I know I could install it myself but if its a PITA job, I'd rather bring it to ACM or someone thats experienced. If I buy an ESS Kit Brand new, whats the difficulty on a scale of 1/10?

Looking around engine bay, looks relatively easy. Basically like changing the crank pulley, intake manifold, and re-flashing the tune for F/I. Anything I should know before going for the install myself? Looks like Radiators coming out...Since a year ago when i was researching, are there any new s/c kits that make more power or are "Better'?

Also getting a 1M Bumper, Carbon Fiber Vented (Fuctional) Hood which I will be PARTIALY painting.

MAYBE Recaro Reclinable black leather racing seats w/ 4 point harness, and Performance steering wheel

Last but not least looking to get a Mode LM rear diffuser again, I miss it. Also I will Obviously need serious tires so I's going with some street slicks and new staggered wheels 12" wide rims 285-305 width tire and going back to the tire lettering....

Lot of stuff, but I should have it all done by June/July Latest.

Ill update as soon as I start to get the parts...

Big News. Mod Journal Over

Was in a minor Accident but went off the road and boulder. Cracked oil pan and shut off car immediately. The idiot body shop claied the motor seized...BS

It ran for 5 seconds. Not even enough time for oil to leak out...Once the Low Oil Pressure, Oil Level, Engine Malfunction lights came on the starter solenoid stopped getting ignition signal. They put a new pan and oil in and when it didnt start they said it was seized and being even a remanufactured engine is over 15k thats and the new bumper and front right wheel, suspension damage made it a total loss...

The insurance company thinks the motors bad, doesnt realize the car has a new tranny (<10k miles) and rear end (<6k miles)....The car has over 60k miles now. Guessing(IF POSSIBLE)I could get the car cheap n since I have te records of the new tranny, rear, and engine service records, I figurejust selling drivetrain/engine will net me a nice profit, let alone flawless leather interior, dash, etc....

SO if anyone knows the process of buying a car back from insurance let me know. and if your interested the motor/ tranny (6spd) or rear LMK...

So I just bought the M2.

I have a hookup at my dealer and even though they are just starting to build them, and we wont see alot of them on the road for 6 months. I got the showroom model which happened to be exactly what I wanted. Black Saphire Metallic, Black leather and 6 SPEED!

Already put down payment down and got myself approved for the loan and the car is set for delivery no later than 5/15/16...Justin time for summer

I def got hooked up considering theres a waiting list at some dealers for them...And many of you would be shocked to know that they are out performing/out handling the new M3/M4.... Top end the F8x's have the edge, but a few bolt pn/turbo will fix that

Ive decided to finish my journal here with a link to this site on 2addicts..

Ill be using that site for learning, buying & selling..BuImt
the journal will continue here...I'm pretty liquid so going to being adding a few keys mods b4 i even get the car..Hoping, some
M235i chassis parts, S55 internals M235, N54 engine externals...I already found a set of gun metal or Gold wheelsI like by HRE (left0
) or Vorsteiner(right). I'd like to lower the car and install wheels, exhaust, and a tune, hopefully this month...Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated...

Since its a mostly an F2X chasis with full f8 x brakes, internals, and an N55 twin-scroll turbo i should be able to beef to up the car b4 the after marketcomes aftermarket comes out.

Anyway here are the wheels, Ill have a black M2, and part of me wants to treadw**eletters.dom , raised white letter tire lettering,(like I had on my car a while ago)...Thoughts?

Ok people for those who liked my journal....M3 Journal 1 : A new Hope is dead, but I just released Jounal 2 M2:Empire Strikes Back

Follow it, as I already did almost every cosmetic mod (I like) inc Vorsteiner FF-103 19"'s

Here is the link to it on M2 Post:

M2 Mod Journal II :Empire Strikes Back

I am just getting started, and I will be getting a semi-sponsorship from the infamous "Enzo Performance (also a sponsor of bimmerpost

Even if your rocking the E92 M3 (Which I do admittedly miss) Subscribe to y M2 Journal as this car will be pushing between 5-600whp in the next year, and as those who followed me in the past know I envision a theme in my head and this vision is fuckin crazy. Hope to see you there...
