Well i mean the chip was in a pink box

[ArtFoodBMW]

Out with the old, in with the new! From what I can tell, the chip has cured my problems. And although my butt-dyno doesn't believe chips do anything, the clock has proven the stroker to be faster! 1.5 seconds faster actually. The rough idle on cold has most likely been eliminated, but i'd like to wait to confirm that until a really cold day comes (this weekend). Fuel doesn't cut out at 5k rpms in 2nd anymore, and overall it seems more happy.

I also decided to take part in reupholstering my rear speaker deck, the old faded dying tan was too annoying for me.

Much much improved. Now lets see how long it takes to fade from black to grey!

Guten parts of course! I'm no longer a fan of plasti dip. It sucks to clean and feels sticky when washing the car

Great build. Keep on grinding away on her. I like that you are getting everything situated on the car before doing any major upgrades.

Test fit









Yay!
The rear did come off a vert, so I had to make some brackets to secure the apron the valence on my car. They don't look awesome, but I'm happy with it

Also I have to extend my exhaust to make it show through the apron... That's next.
I need sideskirts
