And I couldn't resist taking this picture while the sun was setting



I also test drove the car for rattles/noises etc. I have to say that the owner and previous owner are INSANE. The car is out of control!!

I want one now.

bump,
after having my car broken into yesterday i have decided that i need to have a nice alarm sytem before continuing with my install, and this was the first thing that pop into my mind. Tom do you have an update on this?

ps. Ill be starting a new thread asking about amps again. lol

You have had bad luck lately!! Sorry to hear.

I do stock the alarms and OEM wiring parts, but have not made the kits yet. I would be glad to supply you with all the parts and instructions if you like. PM me if you are interested.

Sweet!

When did you own it?

You can have it back once Rich sells it to me and then I get tired of it

If anyone is ever in the Tampa area and wants to hear perfection, please let me know, I will make the drive to you just to see your face!

I'll be in Tampa for two days around the middle of January and would love to hear this vehicle.....

[BMW bro]

We'd all love to hear her. Well done

[airkhin]

i just went through every last page in this entire thread, i am completely speechless! amazing work!! amazing is actually a big understatement! big time props!

[12v Electronics]

Thanks all for the kind words. This build was a TON of fun and sounded amazing! It is one of the best sounding cars I have ever heard.

A blast to drive too. I'm not sure if I should let the cat out of the bag, but the car is currently undergoing more motor work. 500hp was just not fast enough for the owner.

[Smokin Whale]

Amazing install! I wish I had your experience, I'm doing my first install on my 97 323i E36 and it's not easy :/ I also have an extremely minimal budget in comparasion, all i'm doing is replacing the stock (horrible) speakers.

I did seem to notice however when you painted the new headunit, you now have no idea what all the buttons do because they've been painted over. Wouldn't that be extremely annyoing to get used to?

Send that man in for medical attention. His adrenal gland is clearly f'd up.

Is the owner a pilot? Special forces perhaps? Or just plain mad?

I don't recall the exact years I owned it, but I sold it to a gentelmen by the name of Humphry, who sold it to Chris and I think Humphrey only had it for a month since he lived in NYC with the car.

I did a lot of maintenance, if the current owner has any questions, he can reach me at Dwalfisch@aol.com

Your picture was taken in August of 2005 if that helps. I haven't seen him around here lately, so I will pass your info to him. There is not much left maintenance wise since you had it, but I'm sure it is cool to have a history of ownership.

Are you the one who butchered up the heater box on the passenger side?

[pastE36prsntE46]

Hey guys sorry I havent posted much but I have been busy being in the states for once. Adrenalin is what I love, I am simply going to add meth now to about 550whp and eventually do an M52 swap and make over 700whp. For now though my HPF Stage 4 will do for those thrills. As for listening to the car, sure just shoot me a pm and I can give you some contact info.

PS The car is on some BBS RGRs now with a bit more rubber

Oooh, I want a listen

I may be in Florida in 2 weeks. Let me know if you need me to bring anything. I hope your roadtrip went well.

That was not me.

[forrest]

Did you use a 2 head or 4 head laser jammer on this car? If you have any jammer heads on the rear of the car do you have any pics of where or how they were mounted?

2 head front only. It goes too fast to be concerned about the rear.

[forrest]

Thanks for the quick reply! I am considering the same jammer and trying to decide if the rear is necessary.
