What you can't really see is that my feet are resting on a step, which is almost right under the front bumper. Getting under from the step was fun. Using a long torque wrench under there was also fun *sarcasm*. The car didn't even go up enough to get jack stands under it on the lowest setting. Really glad the ramps held.

Oh yeah, I see that now... Yikes.

Maybe you could back the car into the garage as far as you can, then pull forward onto the ramps... That's what I did.

Yup... That's why I was a little leery to go any further or stay any longer under the car than I had to.

I drove over 60 miles, played cat and mouse with a AW 335i (READ: Clean) for about 40 miles. That was a lot of fun.

MuNkY6913 · 06-24-2013, 12:33 PM

Got alot of imperfections in the hood buffed out and started on my backseat delete. seats are out and half way through making the template. gonna look sick when i'm done with it, got a really good idea.

Finally put my CF rear diffuser on from Scopione USA. I've had it for a few months now, but had some issues with it initially. This one replaces the one destroyed in the accident I had back in January.

scott_b · 06-24-2013, 07:24 PM

Installed my BMW PE - just the axle back. Haven't installed the Y-pipe yet, I'm a little leery of drone.

tapout2taxes · 06-29-2013, 07:36 PM

I did this today, slek lip direct from Alberto @ slek ...

PS if you need any awesome CF parts he is a great guy with quality parts.

Badabing · 06-29-2013, 08:27 PM

Went for a very spirited drive and then gave her a through bath.

Fifty3bags · 06-29-2013, 10:34 PM

I washed my 1er today. Even though it's supposed to rain today, tomorrow, Monday, etc through next Sunday. Sucks, but it's nice to have a clean car for the few hours it lasts.

SfValley335i · 06-30-2013, 12:54 AM

beat the shit out of the car in a 1 hour long canyon run.

Highly recommend Alberto & SLeK. Only reason I was hesitant at first was because I was trying to go through a distributor who said lead time was 3-4 weeks but when I found Alberto's contact he responded immediately and told me his actual lead time was at most a week. He was awesome to work with and as you can see his work is A+++. Honestly if this is the look you want there is nothing better IMO.

If you talk to him tell him I sent you. Will probably get the skirt he is working on if he goes to market with it

Chandon · 07-01-2013, 10:45 PM

Washed her after a long two weeks of rain and installed spoiler !

pysik · 07-03-2013, 03:54 PM

Got my Cobb and Berk Axleback installed couple weeks back. Just had it tinted with 30% all around.

Remember, during a meet, when you saw a white 128i roll through a parking lot in a Calabasas commons. You've got some famous M.Club.LA pic's from that meet.
Anyway, that's me! (..if you remember)

Any upcoming local events you'd recommend? Can I tag along on your next canyon run?

bmw1racer · 07-03-2013, 11:49 PM

Washed the car, applied Iron-X, then washed it again.

Polish and Powerlock tomorrow.

Successfully installed a CXRacing fmic and ER charge pipe on Saturday. Runs a lot cooler. Check the thread under vendor buyer seller feedback for pics an some details. Including the headaches.
