    This car is a monster. Although it looks like a cushy daily, this is a very aggressive street setup. It pulls like a train and screams like a fucking demonic banshee.

    With that said, there are a few minor issues:

    1. I suck at arts and crafts. A chrome trim ring fell off while driving one day, so I opened the cluster to glue it back on. In doing so, I somehow got superglue everywhere inside the cluster. It was not visible until about 45 minutes later when it started to dry. Honestly, it looks terrible and I would suggest getting a new cluster. Only reason I didn't replace it was because of the custom boost gauge that replaces the MPG gauge.

    2. Driveline shimmy at 20-25 MPH under slow acceleration and slow deceleration. Does not shake at any other speeds. I have had the car up to 145 MPH and it felt extremely planted and tight.

    3. It took me almost 2 months of ownership before I realized there is some yellowing on the top of the car. It is barely noticeable, and honestly a prospective buyer would not even be able to see it if I had not pointed it out to them, but I want this to be a 100% transparent sale. I tried photographing it but it did not even come out in photographs. I am not a paint expert, but maybe some buffing would take it out?

    4. No stereo installed. Never got around to putting one in, the car just sounds too good. It has all 4 speakers and even a sub mounted in the trunk, all wiring is in tact.

    5. In the last 24 hours, the power steering pump has started to moan and groan. It was literally perfect as of, well, 24 hours ago. I think I may have got some ATF on the belt which is causing some slight slippage, I will continue to investigate this issue however.

    Now, on to the pics:

    Long Corner Rip:


    Roundabout:


    Most of the parts on this car have less than 2k miles on them.

    As with any purchase made online, I highly encourage prospective buyers to come and look at the car themselves. I have done my best to write this for-sale ad honestly and truthfully. It is a highly modified, powerful machine. With that said, the car is being sold as-is.

    SOLD.

        I have not had it on a dyno. Never had the time or interest to be honest. I would put it ballpark at about 325hp (rough estimate) I did do some research on supercharged s52's in e36 m3's (a lot more data available), but almost none of them had a free flowing exhaust, true cold-air intake, and most of them were running smaller injectors.

        I would also like to add that the chip tune from TRM (http://www.racersmarket.net/index.ph...mart&Itemid=93) is spot on and worth every penny.

        Let's just say, it goes. Fast.

                            Wait, so is that the air filter down by the skid plate? What happens when you run over a puddle, will it just suck up the water?

                              Has a friend hydro lock his s52 with a similar setup but it was monsooning in Atlanta when it happened. It should be fine with that splash guard. Def stay away from the puddles though!

                              GLWS this car is perfect IMO. Love it
