    some of you guys may like this one...I am almost done supercharging my 2000 BMW Z3 M-coupe with a HKS GTS8550 stage 2 kit. I also did some maintenance.....

    - new high flow Stewart water pump
    - 176F thermostat
    - high cfm cooling fan
    - boost and EGT gauges
    - new valve cover gasket
    - new plugs
    - etc.

    enjoy! I am shooting for 360 RWHP / 300 RWTQ for now...I may flirt with 400/350 with a new intake manifold and meth later on. This car is going to rip at about 2,900# with 295/30/18 on 18"x10" rear wheels. I NEED BRAKE UPGRADES!!

    Hah! Best license plate ever for that car (particularly after it's been SC'd).

    Planning on running any events with it? I'll bet that would be a riot at the track.

    There's nothing sleeper about the shoe IMO. It will finally just be as fast as it looks. ;)

    I really can't decide if that thing is ugly or amazing looking. Either way I like it!
