I personally am very happy with the N54T as the engine of choice for the 1M, imho it complements the car well at stock or similar power levels. Just because it can be modded to absurd levels of power so easily and cheaply doesn't mean that we should go ahead and do so. I bought the car thinking that N54 is the perfect choice for it rather than some others who bought it 'despite' its utilitarian and merely N branded engine.

I can tell you the s65 in a full built 1m bodied car is very much a raging bull. My comparison to your post was more in response to the people who always tell me I could get more Hp with turbo upgrade or single turbos etc. or those who ask why I don't super charge. It really is about balance that makes a good car and I completely agree that around 400hp is perfect. |

BAD NEWS,
Hi,
they are originally HyperBlue volk rays which is original paint from the factory and are actually the ones that inspire me with my HyperBlue BBS Ri-D, Tried the wheels today.. awful.. looks great and my style, its always has been.. but the rub of the ad08r was too bad, i bought this wheels 3 times already back and forth.. and didn't even think carefully when buying the new tires… had a long day thinking, think i'm gonna use the stock wheels, this sound sucks and i felt i already disappoint you guys a lot by staying stock on wheels, but the 1M is a future classic, classics are best in stock.. as the wheels is good already.. I have upcoming shipments of suspension and intake kits, then we'll see from there.. about going to being unique, i've tried but there is only one 1M in my town which boost down the competitiveness in moding the car.. I would only imagine it will be crazier if its in the capital.. I believe all the rest of 49 1M is there.. if I'm not mistaken... Thank You,

YESS!!, I love driving with a low hp car and a car that I basically won't care about getting a scratch or etc.. those times when I just want to drive break free and go crazy through the streets. Never dropped the MDM.. only at empty streets and streets I know.. In the end of the day… age doesn't matter in cars.. 70% of my friends are made from cars.. and funny are my close friends all are 10 years older than me, it doesn't matter, car talk has its own magic.. don't know how either..! Quote:
using the stock wheels and just getting the stance better and better handling in terms of performance by coil overs. The 1M is already special from the outside looking clean and stock.. funny was always before the car came I am too busy looking for wheels, without really realising the car and having a look when it actually came in stock… plans are still limitless but for now, I will do clean mods, because same here, I appreciate stock old cars and value them more than modified ones,,, Quote:
I drive slow..trust me slow.. anyways, thank you for the kind words.

good move Jay! I love the stock look of the 1M. it's already a unique car....and you're right there is something quite lovely about a stock classic!

Keeping the stock look, but just fixing the height and also the stance maybe some little spacers will help.. then will just do some mods inside to keep the engine alive and exciting to drive… all of my friends never believe me, but i know this is a definite future classic right here mate!

Could you give me your opinion on the v3 and clubsport difference after you have it installed? Contemplating the two setups too and would be nice to get some feedback from someone who has experienced both on the same car.
I want the comfort of the v3 on the street but I want a more aggressive setup for the track. If the club sport is the best of both worlds then I'll go with that. |

KW Clubsport + Gruppe M Installation
Actually there are other bunch that is installed today,
the car is currently still spending the night at the workshop, the rear suspension haven't been swapped out, while front is done. I have to admit that the gruppe M looks damn amazing, and especially me who always open hood after a drive, whenever i'm home. so the bills doesn't hurt that much because its worth it. install: -Gruppe M CF Intake -KW Clubsport -BMS Oil catch tank -Roque Engineering stud kits -Macht schnell 5mm rear spacers (maybe if can and don't rub) Hope everything goes well and fits well so I could bring 'em home tomorrow!

KW installed
The new stance
loving the clubsport, the ride height is amazing and so far i have no clearance problem, I still drive the car anywhere.. the car feels like it is able to cope with harder sudden turns, brilliant stuff and oh, i can't stop falling for the new height its just too damn goodie. i'll take proper pictures i promise
