2 pictures are worth 2000 words.....

John@BMW · 02-08-2009, 03:15 PM

So today, i was out shooting video and pictures of my car after adding the UUC Corsa exhaust, rpi scoops and some black kidneys......

I was watching the video on my tv and snapped these two pictures with my camera phone......

I guess you can call this a teaser.....

!Xoible · 02-08-2009, 03:19 PM

yes! black kidney grill are so much cheaper than the ecu reflash!!!! I wonder what would happen if i put a lot of stickers on the outside of the car- it would probably easily push 200mph.....

This is what we commonly refer to as a moron who is about to lose his license

Hmmm, strange. I was not aware there was a map or reference to the exact location of this event. It could be on private property/airstrip/track.

boostedtwin · 02-08-2009, 03:35 PM

Hey John, did you install the spacers?

JJM335 · 02-08-2009, 03:45 PM

Nice.

Bimmer Nerd · 02-08-2009, 03:51 PM

nice !!

///M PWR 00 · 02-08-2009, 04:13 PM

I love that it says 200MPH on the dash.... I know it wont do 200mph in stock form or even with a load of mods probably... but its still cool to see there.

Lets see some video of the exhaust!

I was waiting on someone like this to post! There is always one of them. You are right! I was doing this run during rush hour, in a construction zone while passing an elementary school......

There is always one moron who needs to prove his manhood by hitting the limiter on public roads and then posting photo(s) of said event. Seems like every forum has at least one

+1

OP, your thread is pathetic. We all know what these cars are capable of doing. Taking and posting a pic of your speedometer doing 100+mph over the speed limit is exactly why I sometimes question driving the same car that immature kids like yourself drive.

All I can hope for is that no one innocent gets in the way of your reckless decisions.

drZ · 02-08-2009, 06:38 PM

nice john..now post some videos of the exhaust and the run

dont mind the haters,i'm sure you did this is an enclosed space..its only ok if they do it and not yourself haha..

so true

ideliver · 02-08-2009, 07:30 PM

this is where I live...not too many cars at 8:00 on Sunday morning...somehow I think that 150+ can be reasonable...somehow other parts of the world agree...oh right...we can't go these speeds because Americans are too stupid to drive fast...

back on topic...OP, what do think of the RPI scoops...most members at m5board.com have very postive things to say...

I dont really know what I was thinking when i bought the scoops- my thoughts were- 1) if they make more power great, if not, oh well! and then 2) they might look cool behind the kidneys. I painted the kidneys sapphire black and painted the scoops interlagos blue. You cannot really see the scoops as well as i was hoping....

the car pulls very hard up to top speed- its not a very fast car but it pulls pretty well!

Oh! and the main reason why i posted these pictures is show how inaccurate the speedo is at top speed and 2, show that you hit speed limiter at 7k rpm in 6th gear. I am such a terrible person for going over the post 55mph speed limit

Ramphaus · 02-08-2009, 09:02 PM

I think I can see the gas gauge moving in those pics! j/k

Thinking seriously about the UUC Corsa cat back. How's the drone?

Same here. It's at the right price point for an exhaust from a well known company. Any butt dyno gains?

Can you take some shots of the rear?
