Car looks amazing...must feel good seeing how far your car has come.

 

are those tail lights DTM??

 

Beautiful Transformation

I want my max to look like yours when it grows up

 

Dude your car is SICK

You did a very nice job with it man... Can't wait to see pics of the 3 point five swap

 

yessir they are,


thanks again guys!

 

Seriously, a 3.5 + 6sp HLSD would essentially make your car the perfect max. Also maybe a custom BBK front and rear to retain stock bias...

 

thanks man,

yea ive like the idea of a 6spd but im not sure i want to go through all the hassle of that swap. What I have considered doing is pulling my tranny and replacing third with a straight cut gear (since all the turbo guys running higher boost seem to be blowing third alot) to handle the torque of a 3.5 with nitrous and put a longer 5th gear in for highway cruising. That way im not shifting all the time as with a 6spd and dont have as much drivetrain loss.

 

One of the best man.

 

Very nice ride, I really like that color. The wheels are fire too

 

Straight cut third? That would be interesting... but you've got to realize that straight-cut gears in general produce a LOUD constant whine, which is why they're normally helical-cut on street cars.

I think a 6sp swap would be somewhat easier and the better option personally, especially if you swapped it in with the 3.5... but then again I don't mind shifting

Plus, you can get the gear-type (helical) LSD with it which will improve your pull around corners. Only way to do that with the 5sp is a Quaife which will run you well over a grand if you're lucky enough to find one at that time.

 

Really nice max!!!! Hate to see the Peble Beige go, but damn that black looks so hot

 

looks amazing man, very, very nice! What kind of CF hood was that?

 

Nice paint job. Goes really nice with the comps.

 

ok whats ur set up with the seats.....pics of that?

 

Omg grant! I did not expect this! I am very impressed. You make me want my maxima back again. You my friend are all out, i love that. Good god, what a car!

to you...


Although i do have to hold a grudge for ditching the CG2!

 

this is true....... dangit now youre making me reconsider.... hahaha, well see when spring rolls around

 

it was from ABS dynamics

thanks for the compliments guys!

 

The seats as well as the brackets are straight from Corbeau.... They are kinda interesting in that im 6'3" and I have the seat almost all the way forward to reach the pedals...... and if i let it all the way back it almost hits the back seat.... not sure what Corbeau was thinking when they designed this

I will send you more detailed pics if you'd like, I just have to take some. I freaking love them though. The support is unparalled by any other seat ive sat in.... makes me never want to get out of the car

 

is it me or does your tail lights look out of line other then that the car looks awsome.

 

Haha, thanks so much! Yea it was sad to leave the CG2 believe it or not... I really did like that color just bc it was more sleeper and unique I guess (for a modded car at least). But this is a color that I have loved ever since I thought of painting my car. I still have much love for the CG2's though!!!

Hope youre enjoying the M3!! Its a beautiful car, im very jealous

 

Yea youre right... someone hit me and shattered the inner left tail (which used to fit perfectly). Im not sure if its the new tail of if he jarred the trunk when he hit it

Car is stunning man. Great choice in paint and wheels.

 

Wow you are my desktop background! Your car has gone through such an amzing transformation. You really know your shyt about modding too. Cant wait till spring of next year to see that new motor. Fantastic job man!

 

nice transition...Pebble Beige still rocks though...

 

D2s?

....D2s < GCs+Konis. You know what to do.

 

haha, i know a guy that can probably get you a similar deal...

 

Wow, definitely was not expecting the last step there! Car looks amazing man!

 

Definitely did not expect the color transition in your sequence of photos. It really pulled everything together, and I've always loved that particular color on Audis! Well done.

 

Bro I can't believe how your car looks now...I mean compare to how you started. Kinda even hard to believe it's the same car!

Well very good job on the paint, I love it, looks very good! The whole car overall is modded nicly! GREAT JOB!!!

 

+1 on that but your car still owns in the "start to finish" department.

 

Grant, you've done such an amazing job.
It's been a pleasure seeing the change over these past two years. I'm glad I could be such a big part of everything. We've has some adventures haven't we!
Seeing that makes me wish I still owned a 4th gen... it's just downright gorgeous.

Excellent job on everything dude, excellent.

 

thanks buddy, you know i definitely have you to thank for alot of the help and hook up on parts and such. I definitely appreciate all of it over the past 2 years...... especially the alternator swap with the huge ace spider

 

I have a couple of questions. nice paintjob but did they paint the jams?
also did you ever install the emange and why did you sell it with your supercharger?

 

great to see another well done CG2. The black Max is hot.

 

Looks real good man...nice transformation.

 

i hate you!

i want everything thats on you car...
spent about 3k over the summer into the car but yours...omg,
dead sexy clean.
wish i had friends like you here that i could roll with lol...

 

Those bright SSRs against the dark color of the car look fantastic! Rich

 

Looks great!
