That said, if you're a 1M owner, the minute you get serious about tuning the car -- there goes that 30hp advantage -- stock vs. stock.

The beefed up suspension is where the 1M really shines over the 135. I don't track the car in a way that I need/benefit from the factory upgrades. The day I do...Ill get M3 bits. For me, a solid 1/4 mile is the ultimate goal and where I'm headed. So yeah man, like I mentioned, its really all about your personal goals and level of involvement you want.
My daily routine..wake up. work..gym..while i eat read TUN3D thread haha! How much horsepower you getting with a JB4?

Did you ever figure out the ppk2 parts list yet and the horn relocation? Im trying to decide what i want to do on this. Im leaning more towards doing an additional oil cooler instead of the radiator. But ill more that likely need to move my horn as well.

Yeineken > Yeah I figured it out. The horn relocation came out awesome -- just like a 1M. There are a few details though that I'll go over. Depends how your setup is and what you want. I have pics and instructions coming.

On the PPK2, I'm missing two parts. The bracket should be in tomorrow and hopefully the missing hose. I started the install on the weekend so I have material for the DIY as well. Just need a day or so to get it all together.

I can't wait to get the funds to do this myself. Hard to pick between this and a turbo upgrade. :P Also a little curious to what the total cost of everything will be.

MaDoNiOn > Those colors are really nice! I like the yellow, grey & blue (first car, not the last).

That gray setup made me reposition my entire stance. They threw in the right amount of accents to make it freakin' awesome.

On that yellow, the $2K/per wheel certainly helps it stand out. Those BBS' are unreal.

Update >

All my parts are in. Coordinating the rear fender work to commence on Monday.

Picking up the rest of the PPK2, rear bumper carrier and misc parts tomorrow. If all goes well, I should have it all installed before the car goes in for a butt-lift.

Great to hear! You're really crushing through this time-wise. That lambo-gray is the only matte color I've ever really seen that I like. Matte to me usually just looks unfinished, but the accents really pull it off. The pearl blue looks great. How long do wraps usually last?

Haha yeah I was talking with my wife about it and she said "so you'll pretty much have to respray the whole car?" Got me thinking about changing the color or wrapping it to try out a color. I'm a huge fan of black paint, but the possibilities are intriguing!
