Time for an update to my build for 2011. This past year was fun, was originally going to just add new wheels which were put on the car over the summer and focus on my other car but in November all that was thrown out the window.
New wheels put on the car:
Just a bit of wheel gap:
Now that was the extent of my plans for the year but a BMW driver decided to change all that:
Initially I thought the wheel was going to be bent & need to be replaced, but after getting the car back to Baker we found the wheel to be structurally fine, just cosmetic issues. This is when things went out the door, after we got the car on a lift we found the rear suspension broken (control arms bent) and the rear bumper was cracked. Insurance took a few weeks to fight it out, the BMW driver finally admitted fault and they agreed to cover 100% of the damages. Instead of just doing OEM parts we decided to upgrade a few things:
-TEIN Monoflex with EDFC
-SPC camber kit (rear only)
-Nismo OEM rear bumper
I have not ordered sways as I am still doing research and a few other things happened which have slowed this all down. Now right before Christmas I stop by Baker to check out a Midnight Purple R35 they just finished painting and check on my car:
Look into my car and see a few things wrong:
Well, there goes any chance of getting the car back before the end of the year.
Stolen items:
-Pioneer Z120 head unit
-Valetine 1
-MP3 player
They destroyed the OEM AC control unit, surrounding panels and the upper screen I had installed when we did the supercharger. A bit pissed, but took this as a chance to redo a few things, new head unit, upper screen will be built using OEM nav pieces minus the $900 screen and plug into the HKS Camp 2.
