The guy i got the car from said it was a packson s/c but its probably a Paxton. It doesnt say anywere on the s/c its brand.

I think the rims look pretty good, but they'd look SO much better with the polished lip. (Like stated before)


Back Off Topic:

That intake would probably hurt performance. Sure, the air might be colder (if any), but the pressure drop inside that wheelwell would negate any gains.

Very true. I think it is a common mistake that this setup is good. I would never want to risk pulling water into the engine, even with a protection device (sort of like a condom, just don't tair it).

And the wheel well does have a lower air pressure than say right in the center of the front air dam. But as someone showed all of us a while back, you have to go well over 200mph to get close to 1 psi induction.

The most obveious down fall to that pipe is its length, other than the ill effects on torque, with itakes and exhausts shorter is better, finally I can say that and not get made fun of :oops:

the wheels look great and the Area 51 theme is cool.

I did a test yesturday. I put the stock air box back in and felt a low of power, not a whole lot of power but felt weird. My intake setup probably gives like 1-3hp diff front stock box. And i did try the front ram air from the high beam and that worked well too.

holley shit u finnally picked that m3 up.
nice men.

$10 says it was the extra noise that made the car faster...

you were going at least 120mph right?

It was the fucking rurring bass in the intake as u switch gears that i love. No rob i was goin about 140.
