There is a HPDE event out at VIR on the weekend of 26-27 February. Right now I am planning on attending. If you haven't been to a BMWCCA HPDE they are a good time and typically you get a lot for the price. Check out the Tarheel Chapter webiste for more info.

I know some of you on this thread and others I do not, so if you ever see me driving around stop and say hi. I'll be rolling around in this: (By the way, it's a crappy iPhone pic and my car is filthy...anyway)

evilspiritM3 · 01-03-2011, 10:22 AM

Nice! Looks like you went with the ZCPs. They look good.

thanks dude. yeah, zcps for the winter months. still planning on going big for the summer. i also got the H&Rs installed along with the VRS trunk. pretty happy.

evilspiritM3 · 01-03-2011, 03:34 PM

I didn't even see the trunk. iPhone screen too small I guess. I would like to see it in person sometime- and the drop too. How do you like the ride? I am getting the Dinan Stg 1 installed on thursday at Racewerks.

I honestly can't tell a difference in the ride quality.

I'm getting the Dinan Stage I done on Monday 1/10

I just got the GTS 359 Competition wheels installed with 255/35F and 285/30R. I'll post some pictures after it's done. Here is a picture without the Dinan stage 1

gatoraviator · 01-04-2011, 11:19 AM

09...let me know if you rub on those spacers after the drop. i am currently running 245/35 and 285/30 on Conti DWs and need spacers badly. Thanks.

evilspiritM3 · 01-12-2011, 05:07 PM

boom. teaser.

Gator, no rub at all. I love the dinan springs. I noticed the difference right away in the corners. Not as much drop as your HR's but I wasn't going for that so I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'll post some pictures when it clears up and I have a chance to clean her up.

Do you guys go to the e90 meets?

evilspiritM3 · 01-16-2011, 09:36 AM

Have any of you guys had any car stereo work done in the area? I am thinking of replacing the factory amp, getting new subs under the seats and adding an audiocontrol eqs. I have the base sound system. Any suggestions?

Usually cars and coffee meets have alot of us M guys show up. Heres the fb page for those interested courtesy of Paul and a few others.

Ive done a few of the skyline runs as well and while the e92 M3s def dominate in presence, theres still a vast array of other nice performance cars there.

I posted some pics with the dinan stage 1 that just got installed. I'm happy with the ride and the looks.

Dinan Stage 1 looks great, especially with the GTS wheels! Not too much, not too little.

Thanks. That's exactly how I feel. I would like to see the challenger front lip when you put it on. Are you getting the rear diffuser too?

evilspiritM3 · 01-17-2011, 04:08 PM

For whatever reason, I prefer the gloss black look on the grilles, front lip, window trim and may do the rear diffuser if they make it in the same finish as the lip.

Same here. So you got one of the gloss black lips? I missed out on them and they said they weren't sure if they were going to do them again. I'll keep an eye out for them. I just feel too much carbon fiber is over played.

evilspiritM3 · 03-05-2011, 09:58 AM

Virginia Beach Cars & Coffee March 5th, 2011. Pretty good ///M turnout.

Stormtroooper · 05-16-2011, 11:31 PM

Looks like there are more E46 M's than E92s. Can't wait to meet up with everyone. I'll be in the Newport News area.
