Hi guys,

Been in the car scene since 2007. Started off with a MazdaSpeed 3 and went nuts with the engine mods; built motor, big turbo, blah blah blah. Earlier this year, it was time to part ways with the Speed and move onto something my dad and I could enjoy.

Enter the 2008 135. Purchased it this January and immediately started working on it. The car is pretty far along and has been track worthy since May. Still have lots to do but it will have to wait until this winter in the off season.

The Build:
- 2008 BMW 135 /w 79,000 KMs (Canadian speak for 50K Miles)
- COBB Intercooler
- Diff lock down bracket /w Whiteline bushing inserts in rear subframe
- Seibon single sided carbon trunk.
- 18" Apex Arc8s /w Bridgestone 265/35/18s all around.
- 1M front end conversion /w 1M/135 hybrid sideskirts.
- ER CP /w HKS BOV (I need me that VTA rice).
- ER dual oil cooler setup
- MFactory TBD
- Sparco Pro Adv and Evo 2 seats
- M3 front suspension bits.
- JRZ RS1 dampers /w Swift springs.
- Rogue Engineering rear toe links. Need to swap in more of their gear out back.
- AFe axle back exhaust for teh loudz.
- Stoptech BBK all around.
- CSF radiator
- Custom 6pt cage and a whole lot of weight reduction.
- Sabelt 6pt harnesses
- 3M satin white pearl vinyl wrap done by my father and myself.

My dad and I built this together (mostly me. hah) but I brought the car to a local race shop to do the cage and most of the under car bits. The latter being a) i don't want to work underneath a car anymore and b) i don't want to do my own brakes as our lives are at stake and I don't trust myself.

Over the winter, I plan on gutting the dash, swapping in a carbon hood, doing some more weight reduction out back (battery, that 10kg ballast etc) and beefing up the suspension with more spherical bits.

Cheers.
