New here!

Hi I just wanted to make a short introduction. I am new to this site, but not to the car industry or online communities. I usually hangout on the 300zx forums since I am building my Z. However havent really talked to any other online sites, and thought why not, since it looks really exciting, especially since a lot of you guys are local.

Well enough talking and on to the pics, I owe a 2001 BMW M3 which got some work put into;

- Custom Black paint job with color sanding (Original paint was Imola red)
- Short shifter
- ZHP ///M SHIFT ****
- TIEN lowering springs (still stock susp)
- K&N intake ( Not CAI yet)
- IN DASH 7" SCREEN/DVD/MP3 PLAYER
- 10" OVERHEAD 360 DEGREE SWIVEL SCREEN
- 5 CHANNEL ECLIPSE AMPLIFIER
- 6.5 INFINITY KAPPA PERFECT COMPONENTS IN THE FRONT
- 6.5 INFINTY KAPPA PERFECT 3 WAY SPEAKERS IN THE REAR
- 10" JL W3v2 SUBWOOFER
- Upgraded 2005 LCM (Headlight switch w/ AUTO headlights)
- Upgraded 2005 Climate control panel
- CCFL 8000K ANGEL EYES
- New Headlight lenses
- Tinted color lamps
- Blacked out grill
- Blacked out side intakes
-19" VOLK TE37 Black with polished lip
- Staggered 19X8.5 Front 19X10.5 Rear
- ACS Carbon fiber Lip
- Carbon Fiber hood emblem
- Carbon fiber steering emblem
- 8000K Headlight bulbs
- Clear side markers
- Tinted 2005 OEM tail lights
- Tinted windows





I also have my Honda Cbr 600RR motorcycle and my 300zx Twin Turbo which Im building to 450whp..

I really hope to see you guys out there, and I for sure try to make it out to Santa Row on one of these saturdays!

I was scanning your mods and this is something I gotta see, what's up with this on an e46 m3?? No sunroof I presume?

- 10" OVERHEAD 360 DEGREE SWIVEL SCREEN


Probably need your drop your car some more with coils since your rear seems to sit higher than ur fronts giving it a raised look (perhaps it's the angle of the pics?)

do you do your own engine work on the z? My buddy always seems to have at least 2 or 3 Z's on his rack doing some insane turbo work.....

correct I have no sunroof!

the 10" screen is mounted basically where the sunroof would of occupied, pretty much right infront of the rear passenger seats. The swivel is that it folds down and I can face/ turn it any direction I want...

this is the only current picture I have if it helps...



and yes the rear seems to be a little more raised, and it is but not that noticable, it is mostly just the angle on those pics, you can see that a little better on this shot



but I've only changed the springs, but coilovers are in the near future, this was just about as much I could drop without rubbing.

really? thats sweet! the Z has a lot of potential, and I love that car, and I have little to know experience with the Z and its crammed engine bay. during the rebuild did a lot myself, however with no utilities or resources, Im having someone else drop the engine...

That would be really pleasant. I see a lot of drivers out there, which I believe are on this site. It has kind of changed my perspective now. especially when I see a porsche etc, wondering if they are on here! haha

in fact I had a RS4 honk and wave at me as if I knew him, thought it could be from here..

it was a Blue Stock RS4 04+ with limo tints and stock wheels. Met over on milpitas blvd...
