Her pumpkins are hanging in the top left...



I don't mind the heat... I'll get A/C in the BMW for my daily... This car is weekend cruises, autocross and car meets/shows...

she's still not out on the street yet... but she's getting there... soon enough... only 1 week before she goes to the Tuners!!

S300 ECU came in the other day... installed that, linked it to my iPad and phone... and did some other work, installed the exhaust manifold... had to make an adjustment and give into the unnecessary evil... the hood prop to keep the C/C plates from rubbing up under the hood...

 

 

gave her a quick shave on the passenger side...

 

 

and of course, a rear shot because i can't get enough of how good everything has come along... sorry for the offensiveness, but hey, i need my mad jdm yo! street cred!!

so i went and had her tuned... put out ~145 to the wheels... but it's a conservative tune just for breaking in the motor... once i've done that probably around the 1k mile mark i'll take her back in for another tune and open up her potential... 

 

 

 

I was also transporting her from Idaho back down to Texas and her right lens was hit and shattered... so it was about time to do my recessed headlight swap... which also sets me up for HID's eventually... 

 

obviously the old headlight setup...

 

 

Working on it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

wasn't really as hard as i thought it would be... probably took me longer to find the right bolts than it did to install it... not gonna lie though the first side i did took some "Mcguvering" but once i figured it out the second one went in without a hitch...  honestly don't like the way you can see down below the headlamp buckets because of the wiring below it... but it's whatever...
