Random update

[Huff]

I'm bored.. So, here's some crappy photo's of my car. I'm not sure if it's the fact I'm a bad photographer or just the crappy point/ shoot camera I use (probably both). Anywho, since most of this year has been fixing body work from people smashing into both my car and myself, I finally have had some time to put towards "improvements".

Brembos:
I found a set of slotted and drilled Brembo's new for an amazing price on Craig'slist. Looks like I'm staying 4 lug for quite some time more.


Stereo:
A friend of mine is a pro stereo/ custom builder here in Atlanta. He does super high end stuff and makes iPod docks. I can't tell you who it is 'cause he said "don't show my quick and dirty work to anyone". Well, I'm really happy with what we did. He did a quick and dirty on the iPod dock and I slushed out the rest.

I know.. I'm painting the bezel black this weekend, I just had to find some satin Fusion Paint.


It's a pretty cool new Alpine unit.




I got the Blue Tooth module also. We had the mic perfectly flush with the round vent thingy, but it didn't work. It looked freaking amazing; instead of vertical slots, I just had a few holes. However, it sounded like I was in an under water tube drowning. So, we had to pull it out (yes, I know it looks like a penis.. plus I just said "pull it").


The iPod dock works really well. The flap comes down to hide it and all. I'm painting the dock sleeve this weekend too. And yes, my car is dusty.



That's about it. Here's some random parking lot shots. Off to the next 3 projects. Cheers!!

[GOOBER]

so if you keep you friends name quiet, but still take me to him, providing I keep my silence. can he do that so called "quick and dirty work" for me as well.

The National is one of my new favorites..looks great.

Spacers in the rear and more drop in the front... :)

God I love red e30s with black details. Looks wonderful. You should try to get your hands on an mtech 1 wing though.

IPod dock = win. that is awesome!

Why yes.. Of course. He and his partner have a shop here in Atlanta. I could put you two together for sure (if there is enough demand, he's thinking of manufacturing a 'real' e30 iPod dock).

The National is one of my new favorites..looks great.

Man.. Boxer is great. Got into them around Alligator, but they are one of my new favorites too.

Spacers in the rear and more drop in the front...

Ummm.. If you look I've got a 20mm rear spacer next to that rotor. I'm on 15mm in the front. As far as drops in the front go, I live in Atlanta and daily drive this beast. Really low front ends look good in photo's and forums, but suck for driving bad roads.

Plus, I actually like having a suspension. ;)

I doubt that spacing those any more than they already are is a good idea. As far as drops go I would say you are just low enough living downtown. I know that Kyle's car is uber low and it looks awesome, but he has to drive super slow even on Ponce.
You need an alarm, I warn you b/c i know where you live, and that stereo is the shit.

I have that same Alpine Deck... SWEET DUDE

i bought an old 40GB ipod specifically to leave in my car. it sits in the glovebox and no wires show at all. very convenient.

[delatlanta1281]

Thats where mine is, I like the Idock though.
I have been discussing it with the guy who did Dillsnik's, he and I are going to do a full headunit delete, put gauges where the HU is supposed to go and just run the Ipod through the speakers... amped of course.

looks good
