I ordered it March 28th. It was supposed to be a week 17-18 build, but as soon as my dealer made it a priority 1, it moved to a week 14 build, which meant it was finished April 7th, It got on a ship April 21st arrived at the VPC May 5th, arrived at dealer May 20th. Originally I wanted to take delivery in late June, so when my dealer realized it was going to be really early they changed it to a priority 4 as it was on the ship over. That actually delayed it at the VPC for a week. When I told them I changed my mind and I wanted it ASAP, they changed it back to priority 1. It arrived a week later. It took 6.5 weeks from its completion date and likely would have been 5.5 weeks if it had stayed priority 1. That is form completion date. The time it takes from your order to production will vary, but if you have a build week, you can predict arrival date within a week, as long as its priority 1. I haven't detailed the WRX yet, so no pics, but I plan on doing that soon and listing it on auto trader. Its nothing special, completely stock and been that way its entire life. RWD FUN |

That's also good news on the Priority 1 shipping and whatnot. My car's been Priority 1 since the get-go, so hopefully it's not at VPC too long. Concerning the Subie, they're generally fun regardless; however, a little extra power never hurts! Clayton claims that once I make the BMW switch, I'll never look back, but I'd like to think I'll own another STI some day. It was tons of fun. :smile:

I personally have the following Saturdays open this Summer (I'm not posting earlier than the 28th because I'm not sure when my car will be available and how many others could be available on that short of notice):
For anyone else looking, please feel free to state when you think this would be good. If a weekend is bad for you, let us know. I'm not opposed to pushing this out to later in August if it means getting more cars together. Also, I know a few of you have already had your cars on a dyno and to be quite honest, all of the 135s out there will make pretty close #s to Clayton's car on these rollers; however, if you want me to get in contact with Jan @ Speed Industry to set up a Dyno Day for us I know he'll cut a great deal for 3 pulls each. As for 128s, I have yet to see any #s so if enough are interested, this would be a good chance to see what your car could do, Lili. I don't have a problem organizing an all day event, provided there's enough interest... :roundel:

That'd be sweet... it'll give the stock vehicles (mine included) something to shoot for when they "grow up." :biggrin:
Rumor has it Clayton's car will be a chest pounding gorilla very soon... :wink:

I never doubted that he would win the modding championship. You will be his only comp. I will just be factory compliant.

I can't say that I'll be much competition... My car will see a tune, maybe some sticky tires and possibly a set of sways over the next couple of years. I can't afford to blow this one up, so until she's paid off (which I doubt I'll own it long enough to do), it won't get nearly as crazy as the Subaru was.

We go up north often on weekends in the summer, but I will sure try to be there. Am I really the only 128???? Cool. Lili |

And yes, so far, you're the one and only! Looks like you're the only blue car as well! :smile: Maybe we're better off setting this for sometime out in August just so that there's a greater possibility of more people making it out...

Dinan installation
I scheduled a dinan version 2 installation at bavarian and guess ... they are not doing dinan installations anymore coz bmw said they would void the power train warranty. It seems dinan refused to pay for up for 4 335i cars when their batteries drained off after the progman 29.2 update.
things are getting bleak but Erhard at B'field are still doing them. |

2 things. First, can you PM me your name and location so I can fill in those fields on the spreadsheet. And second, do yourself a favor and get in contact with FreeBMW/Clayton via PM for some details on this. Don't let these rumors deter you from the Dinan flash - there's more to this situation than what you've been told. And FYI ~ within the next week or two Erhard will have the equipment necessary to flash your DME onsite rather than having to ship it out to Dinan. :wink:

All season tires
As our OEM tires aren't good for winter at all, does anyone think this will be a good bet? I want the best performance for summer n little driveability for winter.
