Sorry for the no posting I had some personal issues to deal with. Well I am back andf the car is too with a new look. Its a two color flip that goes from blue to purple and in certain lights it still looks like estoril blue.

**Tai Pham** · 07-28-2002, 09:19 PM

Damn that car is really nice Mpower007, i really like the rims. Are those Breyton Magic Racing's. Did you coat the inside black or did you buy it that way. Again sweet ride!

**SilverStreak** · 07-28-2002, 10:49 PM

Very unique, very cool, James!!

**Mpower007** · 07-28-2002, 11:03 PM

I had the rims done custom in a gunmetal finish. As far as I know its the onl;y set that way.

**JoeZ** · 07-29-2002, 12:21 AM

Your car looks MEAN! I love it

**SilverStreak** · 07-29-2002, 07:40 AM

Truly, one of a kind, dude!!!

**Rook** · 07-29-2002, 11:06 AM

I give you props for effort and quality of work, but its certainly not my style, but it really shows that you cared about it tho.

**zenon** · 07-29-2002, 05:33 PM

Is that DuPont chameleon paint or blue with a purple clearcoat?

**JLee** · 07-29-2002, 06:20 PM

very nice, not my color, but love the bodywork and wheels

very very well done....

if it was in black it would be a cool batmobile !

I knew it wasnt everyones style, its my style though and thats what matters isnt it. I like it because it still looks estoril in some lights. Its a blue purple chamealeon paint, no green or orange in it though.

**TierDrop** · 07-30-2002, 05:34 AM

Very very nice paint job. How much did it cost?

**E36 Fanatic** · 07-30-2002, 01:17 PM

Nice job- it's good to see someone adding personal touches to their car. Looks insane...keep up the good work (oh, wait, In second thought, it's perfect the way it is now

)

P.S. what happened to the Roundel on the hood???

**SilverStreak** · 07-30-2002, 03:03 PM

Custom hood, maybe he left it off on purpose to differentitae his car even more...

**JLee** · 07-30-2002, 03:24 PM

the more i look at it, the more i like it.

It would be awesome if you could, get the new 315hp engine, add twin turbos with the air intakes connected to those hood scoops...!!

**SilverStreak** · 07-30-2002, 03:56 PM

The old S52 is better for turbo-charging than the new one, lower compression, etc.... JUst ask OZ3M with his twin-turboed 600 hp M Coupe...

**JLee** · 07-30-2002, 04:36 PM

ok then...its settled..

MPower007, what are you waitin for ? go get those turbos

Sorry babe, but the lil' lady has them too. Shall I say we're 2 of a kind. I bet we were thinking of this rim idea at the exact same time. Couldn't believe it when I saw it. Especially b/c you had the cap polished just like me. That's just too funny. Just did mine like 3 wks ago, lol. Crazy coinky dink.

Anyways they look HOT AS HELL on your ride. Especially in 19's. <-- Lucky bum! Wouldn't dare do that here in NYC.

You wouldnt be planning on re-doing your I.C.E. Cuz mines getting redone now. I'd be really scared if we did the same setup.

My pics were taken at Eastcoast Bimmerfest two wks ago...

take care,
chris

**Mpower007** · 07-30-2002, 08:10 PM

Wow! Snowbarb, they look great on your car too. Really you are the only other person I have seen with them done in gunmetal. My entire trunk (not like there is much of it) will be done all in fiberglass and carbonfiber, and my NOS bottle.

The turbos will come soon, (not that soon though), hey does anyone have any pics of the twin turbo setup?

I had the roundell removed from the hood toconfuse unknowing people as to what the car is.

Thanks James. My trunk will be done up in carpet and plexiglass, so I think we're straight there.

And ummm, NOS!

That's too BIG a boytoy for me just yet.
hehehe

Your ride is on my fav. list now.... good luck w/ everything!

take care,
chris

That's cool that you guys have the same unique wheels on 2 completely different cars, yet they look cool on both too!

**///MINI** · 07-31-2002, 11:10 PM

Welcome, snow_barb! You been lurking around here? Nice to see you posting. I bet if you look around this place a bit, you'll never want to leave.

Hope to see you around more often!

**///MINI** · 07-31-2002, 11:11 PM

James, you still have your old hood with the scoop? If so, you still looking to get rid of it?

**SilverStreak** · 08-01-2002, 07:58 AM

Oh boy, Phil's on the hunt....

**snow_barb** · 08-01-2002, 10:12 AM

C U around......:12:
