Let me rewind - I know a few folks are working on N54 upgrades (turbo(s) and manifold) Not just an upgraded stock unit like Rob Beck and others offer. One SHOULD drop their parts at the SEMA show. I think that guy will start on N55 upgrades shortly after.

Hey Mike- welcome to the board! I've heard a lot of good things about you from the guys over at TST. I'm looking to get a few things installed next week- I just PM'd you!

Brian_VACsales · 10-08-2011, 08:22 PM

Awesome - PM sent.

Our owner's daily driven 135i (bought in 08) - now fit with CPe DPs, CPe IC, CPe charge pipe, Tial valve, Cobb and AEM water/meth kit

KW V3, Apex Aero7, BMW performance axle back and BMW Performance aero too.

One of our N54 cores. Didn't remove the engine for DP install

Our shop E92 M3 - Soon to be released to public VF Engineering VF620 kit, BBS Motorsport wheels, Brembo GT 4 wheel kit, Fabspeed header back catless exhaust. More bits are in the hopper for this one...

brandon11130 · 10-09-2011, 02:49 PM

more pics of the red e36 asap please!

Point N Shoot · 10-09-2011, 03:22 PM

Nice thread..

Slops · 10-09-2011, 06:57 PM

Damn you guys are kicking ass!

BBS · 10-09-2011, 08:44 PM

There needs to be a throw down between awe and vac.

Brian_VACsales · 10-09-2011, 09:03 PM

Thx guys.

Brandon: if all goes as planned emortal.co is going to shoot the E36. Excellence will follow.

BBS: AWE are friends. That could be fun

We can even get Fabspeed in on it...though it will be hard for us lowly BMW guys to hang with turbo Porsches and 458 Italias

Applause335i · 10-09-2011, 09:57 PM

Brian_VACsales · 10-10-2011, 08:55 AM

We have a FULL engine machine shop. All engine work is done house - nothing is outsourced. CNC manufacturing too. Some of our CNC machines:

Just figure out how to do the "STI bench-grinder mod" on those, and were good to go 600+ wheel
