L'il Red Coupe

Test of posting - will edit if goes through.

Hey it worked - haven't been able to post a new thread for a while - YEAH!

Took some new pics of my ride a couple weeks ago after having to hand polish the whole car after Mother Nature coated the paint with a fine layer of pine sap. After 10 mos. of detailing couple times a week & wax every other month it looked like crap - I was P. O.'d to say the least - only thing would touch it was polishing. Think it came out okay so took some new pictures.
Putting up those now - I had a Conforti Evo 3 intake kit put on it this morning & if the rain stops I'll take some pics of it later this afternoon & put those up too.

P.S. Intake kit is great - have not driven much yet but sounds better & makes a very noticeable difference in performance with the Performance Package already on car. It can definitely breathe better & ZHP ECU seems to be able to take advantage of it.

Couple more now & will add intake kit pics when sun comes out.

Thanks

No, standard Performance Package Xenons - may be the adaptive lights - they actually do make a difference on winding roads at night.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Actually it's the Performance Package (Comp is on M3) but factory mods really make difference! Car is "chipped" from factory - ECU gives higher rev limit, top speed limit of 155 (essentially no limit), takes advantage of hotter cams, freed up exhaust, lighter flywheel for additional HP & torque. What I didn't realize was how restrictive the stock airbox was!!!!! After having Conforti Cold Air intake put on it was freakin' unreal Engine can breathe now - response is so much quicker, pulls so much better and at 6000 engine sings a beautiful song! Worth every penny! Conforti makes so much difference & this is with 85 - 90 deg. temps - can't wait for some cooler temps. Funny thing is even with 2 days of putiing my foot into it every opportunity I am actually getting better mileage than before! Go Figure?
