ESS 1000 HP Project M3

JEllis · 05-16-2014, 07:50 AM

Well I always wanted to see a smaller wheel with MEATY tires on an LB car. Looks like I am going to see it. Hope you guys are done in time!

Yup! Identical and half the price. Can't beat that.

It's on it's way to Bimmerfest fellas ...

New ESS supercharger setup that we installed last nigh should be making nice power!

^^Roman said it will be having a proper photoshoot very soon.

the car is insane inside and out. I don't want to rain on Roman/ESS parade so ill let them post up all the latest info and pics

but in person the car looks amazing and the power well we can only imagine I'm sure.

also this was the new "slightly" re designed SC kit

sales@ESSTuning · 05-19-2014, 10:26 AM

I wanted to thank Alekshop for the long nights and hard work it took to get this car to the show in time. We still have lots of work to finish it up over the next several weeks but she is almost there. I will add some more pics soon but until then here is a quick shot loaded up and heading out.

Looks amazing.

Petros · 05-19-2014, 01:02 PM

Wow! Amazing build! I hope the engine can hold up to such a high power output!

dj_dub · 05-19-2014, 06:46 PM

Car looked great at the show guys!

likewise bro, keep me posted on your current and your next m3 ok!

chris s · 05-20-2014, 08:15 AM

Well done ESS and Alekshop! This car wins...best Liberty Walk kit to date!!!!

whats77inaname · 05-20-2014, 11:56 AM

I can appreciate the work and the vision that went into this, but I'm still not a big fan of this kit. Every time I see one, the only thing I keep thinking is, "Damn, those wheels look *tiny*"! Execution is excellent, but not my cup of tea, I guess.

That said, has it been dyno'ed yet?

Alex07M3 · 05-20-2014, 01:57 PM

I think ESS went with a "go big or go home" mentality for this project and they surely don't seem to have cut the corners, but still, I'm not a big fan of the Liberty kit either! Though I think shaving the bolts on the flares like this guy did helps to create a cleaner look!

In any case, this ESS project has all the chances to become the greatest/fastest e9x ever built and I just can't wait to see it destroy other cars(like the Gintani twin turbo) on the Airstrip!

Came out great, was a privilege to share booth space with this one!!

sales@ESSTuning · 05-20-2014, 03:37 PM

We needed a widebody so that we could run a very agressive wheel / tire and felt the Liberty Walk was the best design for our needs. Our build is really focused around performance and not soo much style. This is why we are using 18" race wheels, higher suspension ride height etc.. and not really focused on the bling factor. When the car is raced it will be setup different than it is for shows. We have done custom paint and we will do a few other small details to make the car look good but there are other Liberty Walk builds that do a much better job than ours in terms of style like Powerbeast and others
