What did you do to your M or Q Today ....

[06M4.5]

What am I missing here? Hint: I'm missing a color..


Close up of the hint...


Now for the front...



Bonus Game: Find that door ding!!!

your missing an exhaust system.

I want to stick to quads and I don't want to buy Megan and JP is way too expensive. Someone else needs to R&D quad tipped exhaust (preferably axlebacks) I don't mind the stock since I actually like the M nice and quiet.

His car is PERFECT.

Just go to a custom exhaust shop and have them weld on some nicer quad tips to what you have, since you like it quiet.

Took my car to get a baseline dyno. Going to get UpRev'd on Saturday.

243whp, 193ft/lbs torque on 2nd run.
Mods: Motordyne 5/16 Plenum Spacer, Borla Exhaust

[bbs350z]

193 lbs? seems really really low

[JDMlove]

are you sure 193 LBS!!?? that low!

[white_wolf]

Yeah it is low huh?...

idk... this is my first time dyno'ing anything. Maybe it's because of the type of dyno used? It was done with Dynapak(sp?)

Or... my print out is wrong... or I can't read a dyno printout... or my car is secretly a Honda. XD

Had my BrakeMotive zinc-coated rotors and new pads (Ebay purchase) installed this week, and also had three wheels repaired to fix curb rash. My wheels look so much better now, especially getting rid of those rusty old OEM rotors. The brakes seem to be working great, and I'm hoping they hold up over the long term. They do seem to be a great value at less than $170.00 for four rotors and four sets of ceramic pads.

My new interior

[CPJ LB]

its a rainy day in Southern Cali...took the car out to test the grip on the
Hankooks V12's...I must say, I'm really impressed with the handling and grip on wet surface...it doesn't hurt having wider tires in the rear as well...I took turns and corners without feeling nervous...overall good tire in the rain.

also I put on a billet grille (I had it powder coated gloss black) that my body shop took off a wrecked M -- total loss...I have two grills to swap out when I feel like changing up a bit...
rainy day pix...vinyl roof look'n good...no issues...

[InfinitiEric]

What's the little emblem after the M35? Car looks good too!

[pedsemdoc]

did they have the "S" badge for the 2006 M35 models? mine doesn't.

[InfinitiEric]

Oh oops, I should have clicked the picture to see the emblem bigger and then I would have seen that it's the sports badge. And no they didn't have them for the 2006-2007 models, he must have added them.

Yes sir...thought it'll be different from other 06 M sports...LOL...wait a minute, my 06 sport 'is' different....just trying to set myself apart..... thanks Eric...

[The Bodyguard]

+1...I know our cars produce much more...

well...got these installed today...new rotors and pads...thanks Blanco for the fyi..$170. ain't bad..it was time for me to change them out, so I waited til the last possible (safe) allowable thickness of the pads/rotors...so far so good. I will get some shots of with the wheels back on....

[a.blanco0905]

^Looking good man!!! This sure is the best bang for the buck so far...

[CPJ LB]

^ thanks....I've already given the fyi on those rotors/pads to some of my friends and they've ordered for their cars....you should get a 'kickback on referals'....LOL....

[a.blanco0905]

Lmmfao... I know they're probably thinking about raising their prices.

[pedsemdoc]

if they rust or crack--remember Blanco suggested them-lol

Brakemotive oughtta give us a group discount the next go around-i wonder how many folks have bought 'em.

mine are holding up well and stop great, > 4k miles and i've only seen the very hint of some rust on the outer rim of the rotors and in some rare areas in some of the slots--but not on all of them

[a.blanco0905]

^We're both going down Craig... you for bringing them up and I for spreading the gospel, lol. Why dont you start a thread named "Who bought the ebay brakes Blanco and I recommended?" lol... Also, if 5 or 6 of us would've combined our money, each one of us could've had a G37 BBK a month... I wouldnt have mind doing something like that, though is kinda hard to trust some people, anywho it would've been... a "delayed group buy."

LMAO--amen to that brother.
yeah, the BBK is something i'd like to do next, but throwing down that kinda green is tough esp when you can get the set we've got for $170--man, i love the way it looks particularly when you see another M in the same color with the rusty OEM ones on (a guy at work has the diamond "greenphite")-lol

[a.blanco0905]

^Mother efffinnggg yeeeessss... Diamond Greenphite baby!!!! You rock sire!!! *high wears off* So, yeah... I just recently saw a rusted OEM rotor on here and I was like eeeeewwwwww... I was thinking about having my OEM ones turned -I only pay $5 a rotor on the military base- and figure out if there was some way to zinc plate them. I wont be paying for brakes for a loooong time man but the BBK is so tempting... I'm just glad my wheels dont let u see much inside of them, otherwise I'd feel pressured to get them, lol.
