Took me about 6 months to find someone that has a digital cam to take pics, but it finally happened (thanks frank for pics, thanks alex for hosting, thanks tony, alex & john for helping mod). I took these up on highway 9....got to kill 2 birds w/ one stone by testing out my suspension on the mountain (awesome handling) and getting nice pics in. BTW, I don't have a gold emblem in the front....it was just weird lighting. My hp.com setup is http://216.183.103.77/setups/setupsd...ted&order=DESC if you were wondering what I have. Sorry mods/modemers if these pics are too huge.
Heh, thanks for the positive feedback, and nah, I didn't smoke it out. There were too many trees in the way I guess so the lighting wasn't that great in some areas. I'm all done w/ cosmetic mods after I get some SSR Integral GT1's and black calipers...but the engine mods are just starting

lol, i actually JUST washed it before i took it up there...did some careful driving, then i guess got lucky that it wasn't THAT dirty hehe. too bad on the way up and down on that mountain for the rest of the trip the car got dirty again . cool thing too.....on the way back home, i got into a really fast spirited drive w/ a brand new 330ci, and a 360 modena....maybe i'll post pics later.

Very nice car, I'd like to drive a mountain/canyon road, but I have no susp upgrades......
Haha, I'll go retake some pics in a couple weeks, and hopefully the emblem would look its normal color.
Talking about mountain driving....any bay area luders wanna meet up sometime and drive this road (Hwy 9 I think)? It sure beats meeting up and illegally racing somewhere. For all who don't know where this is, it literally is just all the way down saratoga road.
Ditto! Makes me wish I should've gotten JDM foggies.

Heh, no offense, but I'm pretty in love with this look...don't wanna mess it up w/ a decently outrageous kit. I'll ask around to see if anyone wants to buy it though.
