Introduction to the Q Forum! Build/Progress!

[S13xCrazy]

Hey guys!
Definitely not new to the forums, however I have not ever been into the Q45 section for myself! Only the 240, D21, I35, G20 forums... Along with the Q I also own a 240 convertible, BMW E36, and a CBR600. Needless to say, it makes winter a ton of fun... *facepalm*

Got the Q45 from a fellow member a couple months ago!

It is actually going to be a demo car for my performance parts company.

Started out looking like Grandpas whip!


Before you knew it, I had it up in the air ready for an oil change, new rear brakes, and coilovers!





And then.... Had to get some new wheels. Could not stand them.



Before you knew it...I had to have a little fun with the exhaust....Hate all you want, its wayyyy too funny now that its cold in wisconsin. I can blow perfect smoke rings!



ANND I had to make the color of the wheels a bit brighter...and make them match my BMW!!



ANND my favorite picture!


Aero, Privacy shades, new wheels, twin turbo, tint, etc will be coming soon!

More to come!

I like the look....except for the pink wheels and exhaust pipes. Welcome to the Q forum.

LOL, No surprise I would get that. I have a pink BMW E36...since it's parked for the winter, I had to keep a piece of it with me somehow!!! As for the tail pipes, It's all about attention! No, I'm not a ricer fanboy and I don't race around. But it helps me advertise. Doesn't matter if they hate it or love it, they still comment on it. I'm a performance parts salesman - So it works great!

Just installed HID's on the Q45. Figured I would post this incase other people want to install them down the road...

YOU DO NEED A RELAY to run HID's in the Y33 Q45's because of our auto feature. As long as you have the power relay, you are golden!!!

Kind of makes one wonder what the Q did to him? Or maybe it's a her?

You drive a hard bargain. Can't decie if i really hate the Y33, NICO, or your thought process........ Ahem, either kick me off nico or delete this thing.......

[elwesso]

Are those Z wheels? The fit is nice..

Honestly I really liked the look of the car slammed on the OEM wheels.. Not sure why but it was cool...

Now it makes sense. Great marketing technique! Got an email address and/or phone # on the car?

Good luck with your business.

Wow! I came by to see whats going on and then I see this! I know a lot of the old guys are gone is this why? Is NICO going, ahem, sissy?

I like it all except the Pink wheels Couple of questions, which coilovers did you use? Where is your shop?????? Maybe your close to some members, if I could get you to install those on my 97' I'd do it, but in California, you could be somewhere far away, probabably you are.

Yup, they are!! 18x8 all the way around! They will be replaced with Konig's this summer; I think it's too cool that I am one of only two or three authorized Konig dealers in Wisconsin :-P So I'm taking advantage of it!

Now it makes sense. Great marketing technique! Got an email address and/or phone # on the car?

Good luck with your business.

Nope! No phone # OR E-Mail address. This might seem goofy, but I don't do mass advertising like that at the moment. I pride myself off of my personal service to my customers. All of my customers at the moment are based off of either referals, or my marketing plan. I actually prefer to meet new people and turn them into my customers. I go out to our local highway (everyone cruises) and go around and talk to/hang out with new people all the time! It's a great way to expand my customer base...and make new friends and relationships!! I am an incredibly personable guy; so it works out great!

Coilovers are actually off-brand S13 coils. Similar to Godspeed, they are INCREDIBLY affordable. I sell name brand (anywhere from Tein to Stance to Megan) but also sell A LOT of "knock off" products. I go through and weed out the garbage and sell the rest, and even back every product I seel with a one year, NO BS Warranty. I refuse to sell anything I would not personally use. I have used multiple sets of these ones and LOVE them. They are stiff ride, but at the cost you CANNOT go wrong. Stock suspension is too much for these Q!!!

Our "Shop" is actually a storefront. I encourage Do It Yourself! However, I actually have two ASE Certified mechanics that work for me as Sales Reps that do work out of their personal shops. Plus, if anyone is a little hesitant to work on their cars I always end up over at their place/let them use my shop to help them out! Where in California are you? I was planning a trip out there to meet/explore some of my vendors warehouses. I wouldn't mind coming and helping you out if you were in the area/if you wanted help!!

NIce site.. Products for the Q45s?

Absolutely! OEM Parts, Coilovers, Privacy shades, you name it! The website is no where near finished (one of the reasons I am not yet a NICO Sponsor), so anything you guys need feel free to shoot me an e-mail! Technical support, product information, anything! I am always willing to help out!

We also do How To videos that we post on Youtube! We are doing a KA24DE rebuild right now, but anything we do to our cars is documented and we will make videos of!

And as stated, we are in Waukesha, WI. Free delivery on any decent sized OEM part order, and ALL aftermarket part orders!!

If anyone has any questions feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
I'm always willing to help out where I can!!!

Since we're on a roll, how about a 1" or 2" lift kit? I'm growing tired of bottoming out when I drive through intersections at the current standard G50 height. I need to raise the car's height by about 2".

Really? Sound's to me like you maybe have worn out suspension/your springs are sagging. Any pictures of your cars current stance??
