Is there where you're located, Chicago?

I have Steve's stage 1 inline upgrade, but I'm curious to see how your stage 2 will perform. I have a tablet, but don't have the cable. I'd like to give it a try, but I'm going to get an intercooler, charge pipe, and BOV first.

No im Located in Kenosha Wisconsin. Come down anytime and check it out when my car is ready alot of members have message me to see how MHD does.

It's been a while. I haven't done much with the car since my last update besides an oil change or two. Life has been busy. I bought a house with an awesome, huge garage (surround sound ceiling speakers, air compressor with hose outlets everywhere, 220v, insulated, TV, fridge, storage space, etc.)

 

Anyways, I just ordered a bunch of parts. I've decided to drive the car through winter again this year. I'll post pictures once everything has been delivered.

 

Breaking my build thread rules and posting a cell phone picture...

But, this should make up for it...

220v in house is awesome. Looks like you scored a nice place.

 

Thanks! It's been treating me good so far.

 

That shop looks amazing. 

 

No shop, just a 750sq/ft garage. I still need to furnish it with some tools...

 

i'm so proud.

 

The house? The garage? My decision to drive the car this winter? Who knows?!

 

Needs more lift...

 

It had a motorcycle lift in it. Maybe some day...

Nice! They look super bright! That's on my to do list.

 

 

i cannot describe how much better that looks. I had never actually seen a side-by-side comparison, but that just solidifies why I have the BMS lights for my car. Looks great

 

 

Huge improvement. I feel like it makes the car look much newer.

 

 

Thanks for the side by side, looks great.

 

Glad you guys like them as much as I do. They're really f*cking bright!

 

Here is where I got them: http://www.luxangeleyes.com/products/lux-h8-160

Some of you might have seen the for sale thread, but I picked up an awesome wagon this weekend!

 

2005 325xit with 133k. 5-speed, all-wheel drive, sport package, cold weather package, lowered on Bilsteins and H&R springs with an extra set of winter wheels/tires.

Tons of maintenance reciepts, original window sticker, only owned by 2 enthusiasts. Really happy with it.

 

With that said, the 1-series will be put away for the winter. If anyone needs a set of e82 wheels with brand new snow tires, let me know.

...and no, I didn't paint checkers on my hood. That's the reflection from the garage ceiling.
