My Build Thread (Akrapovic, ESS VT2-625, HRE) ***SOLD 8/13/2016***
***OFFICIALLY SOLD ON 8/13/2016 ***
Hey guy's i've owned this car since March and i figured that i'd start my build thread before things take get more serious! March 2015 Picked up my car, then shortly after i got the LCI tails May 2015 Figured i had it stock for long enough and pulled the trigger on the Akrapovic GT4 system as well as BPM sport stage 2 and dct software August 2015 ESS VT2-625 kit ordered as well as WPC coated bearings + ARP bolts. I also had unbearable wheel itch so i bought a set of HRE P43's off of a member. Ordered some swift spec-r springs that should be here later this week! Supercharger Build Dropped the car off 8/31 to get the rod bearings + SC + springs installed! I can't wait to pick it up on Friday! Check out the factory engine mount these are definitely being replaced! Here are the rod bearings after 67k miles! As you can see as you get closer to cyl #8 things get bad. Shop said the top rod bearings were donezo! September 2015 The Project is all done (for now...) and this is currently how she looks now! Still breaking her in a little bit, but holy shit is she a beast now! Here's a little promo video they shot for my car: September 2015 ***UPDATE*** So on 9/25 i had a tire blowout on my way to work which knicked one of the wheels and made me ultimately decide to re-powder coat all 4 wheels... October 2015 I couldn't decide what color/finish i wanted to go with but i finally narrowed it down and got them back and mounted with two fresh Michelin PSS tires! February 2016 Finally after waiting about a few months everything is here! March 2016 Bodyshop sent over some pics, everything should be done in 1-3 days! Annnd... She's home!!! Sorry for the crappy pics guys, you'll have to wait till i get my Sony A7 on saturday, but for now... JUNE 2016 Well it was finally time for new brakes, rather than dropping a couple grand on a BBK that wouldn't ever be utilized i decided to go with ECS's 2 piece front + rear rotors as well as Hawk HPS pads! After everything was done and installed the shop wanted to take a few pics of the car in it's entirety... ENJOY!

I really wanted the Harrop, but it wasn't cost effective so i went with the ESS VT2-625!

Oh wow, you don't mess around when it comes to mods! I'm sure you'll have a completely different beast once you get it back. Enjoy it in good health!

Clean looking M. I appreciate that you have had very nice cars in the past which are all tastefully modified. (Especially a Gti which isn't aired out or 'stanced')

Great start! I'm sure it'll be a whole different car after the S/C. Nice S4 as well, I also came from a B8.

You were only 2 months stock and then got bored ! wow. I have been stock for 2 years and then started modding.
I remember one of your posts, when you were debating to keep 335is or trade it in for M3 just right after you bought 335is |

Nice mods.
HRE's are fantastic but I liked your stock 18's better. Great sleeper look.

i too had the oem 18s and absolutely loved them, the only reason i changed is because the 9.5/265s can't put the power down to the street.
