But it sure is an improvement over Pimp My Ride.

I wish they said what his stock exhaust was because it was certainly aftermarket. And how about what they did with the exhaust. Straigh pipes or did they go off the sides like in the video game. Granted their budget was 17k but they could have done alot more instead of putting vinyl all over the frickin place. Headers? Race clutch? Sways? GAUGES?!?!? I couldn't believe that car had no gauges considering it now is blown and running an AEM system.

Why would it run an AEM ECU management system if it has the AA Supercharger kit?

[pnoyaballer]

i still would take the car in a heartbeat, but yeah, i wish they would have shown more of the car, theres a pic of the car in the OT section

[JCz04Bimmer]

Such a good point!

[BMWPower06]

Recorded it on my Media Center PC, what an amazing car! :drool: :bow:

[Bim Growl]

They decided to run the AEM ECU because they got rid of the E46 Intake Manifold, and put in one from the E36 ///M car. They did this so they could get rid of the drive-by-wire from the E46, in lieu of a standard throttle cable. This also allows them to use a wider throttle body than is possible with the E46...

Pretty cool show. I didn't care for the head guy that much, but it was neat to watch. :thumbsup:

[Nick@Jlevi SW]

Upload it!!!!!!

[petey]

i cant beleive they did all that and still left the stock mirrors

[BMWPower06]

Upload it!!!!!!
its like 3 gigs

[Nick@Jlevi SW]

its like 3 gigs
I am sure you can encode and compress it :dunno:

[eg6turbo]

I am sure you can encode and compress it :dunno:

im on the west here and its on right now..its going pretty good...they are at the part where they are doing a auto to 5spd swap with lsd... :yikes:

[1badzhp]

The exhaust on it looked a lot like the UUC TSE3. I love how the host kept calling it a 330i even though it was a 2 door :lmao:

[JCz04Bimmer]

Not the TSE3. Tips were way too thin and the welding way too sloppy. Kind of looked like a shop-made exhaust with dual individual cans on the end.

[2003330i]

dam i missed it. someone that recorded has to upload it. please

[vp209]

my first damn time watching the show. It was real interesting, but the people were too corny. Wonder if the guy that owns the 330 is on are board ?

[NickACS]

Yea, def better than Pimp My Ride, but no Overhaulin...

Car was ok at best.. the auto swap was about the best thing they did..

The host was a tool :thumbdwn: Although the chick was hot :thumbup:

[Azrael]

I think the owner even called it an 330i when he was handing the keys to her.

[///OSS]

what a pack of tools I tell ya...LOLOLOLOL I just wanted to go in there and start gunning down the crew :thumbdwn: and whats up with the crazy bodyshop crew...HAHA that was halarious, they looked like a pack or derelict soldiers fronting... :lmao: retarded

the tranny and intake maniforld swap was preety nutts, and swapping the computer...taht stuff was cool, but when i saw it with the elephant ears I almost crapped my pants...LOL

it was cool to see manu and ryan from DPE showing their wheels though! Big ups to DPE!!!:bow:

[JCz04Bimmer]

I wonder if a computer swap is necessary if you're going with the E36 manifold swap.

[kpeng]

The only cool part of that show was seeing Manu and Ryan from DPE. That's about it. All those people are tools. Especially that head guy and the useless chick.

Luis, I thought the same thing when they brought in that group of guys to do the bodywork. I was like, "they look like some mexican gang".

[rayxi]

Cool mods. Crappy show. There's no way they did all that with a $18K budget (or whateve it was). Monster Garage meets Revenge of the Nerds.

I would say that the majority of those mods were donated for advertising on the show. I can't believe Turner gave them a new $4000 LSD for the project. That's pretty impressive right there.

I also can't believe that they put 20" wheels on that thing. ...and it's supposed to be a track car?!?!?! :loco:

[S4izzle]

yea i think that most of the parts are donated from various vendors. too bad they lied to the guy and told him that he got the authentic Flossman kit.

[Bim Growl]

yeah, I noticed that they had to hack it all up to make it fit the guys car. It was pretty apparent that there was a ton of work needed to make it fit right. I thought to myself? That can't be an authentic kit... So, it wasn't from you guys after all? That's lame-o. But I guess you guys get free publicity out of it, right?

Y'know, if you wanted to, maybe you could sue them for saying it was an authentic flossman kit, when it clearly wasn't... :dunno:

[Azrael]

Does anybody have it on there computer to upload yet?

[Tornado Jay]

Those wheels look familiar hahah :craig:

[TCoville]

did it seem like they didn't know what they were doing seemed like everything they did they called sumone in to do they had dpe guys in there doing stuff then they had sum guys from a race team doing stuff. i was laughing when they were bagging on the ACS wing thou.

[///OSS]

for some reason I got teh feeling from the guys face that he was really like...OH SH IT there goes my classy car OUT THE WINDOW.....LOLOLOL

[imolazhp_ci]

first of all to S4izzle. they never said it was an authentic flossman kit...they said it was a GTR kit from gofastparts.com or whatever. and to TColville...it wasn't an ACS wing it was the OEM Clubsport wing....and to BimGrowl...i thought the same thing...track car? with 20s? with a HUGE front braking bias? they hardly did anything...evosport just did all the engine work. and some janky bodyshop did all the bodywork while "jack mac" trimmed the body pieces himself after the wheels were installed. so halfassed.

haha. i'm so bummed for him if they told him it was a real flossman. you should just join that forum and pm him and be like "nice kit. SYKE!"

[vp209]

wassup w/ the blue paint on the side of the ride, it made it look off. they should have just kept it silver. I liked his old interior that he had , the black & blue, i wonder what they did w/it ?

it wasn't paint they were decals so they are removable. and they said they ebayed the old parts.

[Dolomite]

AA should come up with their own show, I'll volunteer my car for the first show!
