Beachbum's M37s build

[beachbum718]

Friday around 7 pm Pennsylvania
To pick up my pass.


Saturday early at the event in pa.a lot of great tuner cars.I'll post pics.these are cells.

[stm37s]

Nice picture man, even though they are cell.

[JC-RH]

Awesome car and setup. I've wanted one for years, but the no stick shift option has steered me away. Maybe I'll change my mind in a few years. The new 2015 Q70L is very intriguing.

[beachbum718]

.thx..I like everything about the q70 but its front.to much like the q50.

[Ilya]

Why didn't you go up the hill to where NICO was having NICOFest? lol

[beachbum718]

I did.I just didn't drive up there. I'm happy I went.a lot of great cars to see.even though it was blazing hot out.my hotel was nice though with a great pool for night swimming.now I'm on my way to sesame place with my son tomorrow on the way back to NY.

[Ilya]

Ahh gotcha. Yeah I guess once you set up it's not worth moving the car or whatever. It was my first time at a car event (other than our NICO M BBQ) and it was good indeed.

[wideopn11]

Yeah saw your M, didn't know who's it was right away. We were up at the autocross/drifting all day inspecting cars, running the track and watching a drifter put his car through the fence. Next time we need to just tell people to come to the NICO tent and ask for Tim or Ilya.

Yeah, it was an interesting day on saturday lol. And then sunday we had to break into a miata...owner locked his keys in the trunk lol.

i just had my bc coils installed,i wanted to drop it two inches but now I'm thinking its to low..
my measurement was at the bottom of the fender to the center hub on the wheel
it was 16" now I'm at 14"

do you remember what was yours set at when did you coilovers?
Beachbum

also should the rear be little higher?

[beachbum718]

I don't remember how many inches.I just know I was low.back a little higher then front.its all trial and error.I know I was at 15 clicks from soft to hard in front.and 12 clicks from soft to hard in rear for dampening. Do like two inch in front from top of tire to fender edge. And 2 in a half rear ,from top of tire to fender.and go lower or higher from there.its time consuming, but once u get it right.you'll love it

[JC-RH]

I saw you picked up some new calipers. Can't wait to see some new pics!

[beachbum718]

Yes picked these up for really cheap.not exactly what I wanted. But it will due till JP can paint mine in the winter.since he's to busy till then.

[beachbum718]

Got some custom painted calipers installed,custom blended blue with a pearl in it. and in the mean time also painted my rotors since I was sick of them having that rusted look on the hubs.I'll post a how to when I have time.






Elite tuner event I went to today in Philadelphia

[beachbum718]

Never shared my oldest mod.hid fogs. 5k bulbs and hid 5k fog kit.also changed out inner parking lights to 5k.all interior is led 6k.





Crappy cell pics .but the lights are bright with no glare in person...

[beachbum718]

Carbon fiber engine cover
Titanium screws.blue
Black Billet oil cap with Mobil one carbon fiber inlay.
R2C metallic intake ~ black hex filters


This picture does no justice.it looks a lot better.I'll try and take better pictures...

[CRV_33]

Man after seeing your pics i really makes me miss my R2C intake system in my G35x sedan. Too bad R2C doesn't make an intake system for the VK56VD.

[skim35]

well played sir!

[beachbum718]

well played sir!

Thanks man.means a lot coming from a fello m37 builder.and your car before your m37 was top notch itself.

Better pics if carbon fiber engine cover, r2c
intake




Better pic of caliper rim combo with blk hub.

[Ilya]

Calipers look amazing.

But...for me personally, that is WAY too much 'stance' and ruins the car. You car would be (again, IMO), absolute SEX on wheels if the wheels were properly fitted and even with the body but not leaning at an 85* lol.

Beachbum

What kind of wheel nuts are those? Love the wheels and finish!!

Thanks...its just the look I'm going for.I love stance cars.I'm not into the plain conservative look.its to easy to do.I want to stand out.big lips and wide rims on a luxury car is sex to me...

Thanks for the info.

Is your car a 4-Wheel steer? I asked a supplier if the Megan Rear Adjustable arms will work f0r my car, they said it does not.

I'm striking out today.

[twostep361]

Yes mine is rear steering, I believe all m37 are.never believe what a pencil pusher says over the phone.sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and just try it.

what size are your tires brother,nice setup

225 35 20 Achilles atr2 front-run true to size
245 35 20 toyo exstensa rear- run small- Achilles in rear didn't give the stretch I needed.so toyo did

Thanks man.trial and error.
