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

It's a cool build but you wouldn't have needed to run a liberty walk kit to fit the tire sizes you are currently running. Are you planning to go with wider tires? Your rear wheel arch would have needed some modification / paint work but IND has been fitting 315/30/18 tires in the rear of their builds for years.

315 on a fender modification can be done but it is very tight. Our current wheel size may change and we wanted the flexibility to go wider / taller if needed.

It is an impressive build. I liked it a lot.

The car has been in CA since Bimmerfest. Aleks is going to wrap up some suspension fine tuning and then it will come home so we will wrap up the fuel system and tuning

Incredible work guys. Nice to see the S65 getting pushed further and further.
Was it clarified if this would be 1000hp to the crank or wheels??

I disagree - I think your car is the most stylish of the LB cars. Seeing 18's with some purposeful rubber really warrants the widebody. Cannot wait to see some stuff of it on the track.

M3WC · 05-28-2014, 10:52 PM

Not one of colors that can pull this kit off. It is weird how hit and miss the LB kit is. The best color so far is the Imola Red LB on the forum.

I need to drive that beast

OM VT3 · 06-04-2014, 09:55 PM

Any updates or more info on the motor

BobS · 06-05-2014, 06:16 AM

The 18's look way better on this kit imo than 19 and 20 inch wheels. I'm a big fan of how the stock m3 looks with 18's and a nice thick tire on it... with the wide body, it looks great too

e92livin · 06-05-2014, 07:55 AM

In for dyno #'s

MPowerZ32 · 06-19-2014, 03:57 PM

We have been really busy finishing up our new N52 supercharger system the past few months so we have not had time to finish the new fuel system we designed for this project. This car has several one off pieces that we are building for it that take a little time. Hopefully late this month as the schedule gets lighter we can wrap it up and get some dyno's to share.
