El Guapo/Zyc Car Under Carriage Pics
What usually starts as a small undertaking explodes to I can't control myself and days of work. My intent was to clean the backside of the wheels which led to the complete undercarriage. Enjoy the pics.
Yes I did remove the belly pans and clean inside. Also cleaned the pans inside and out.

That's one sharp car, glad it's gone to someone who will take care of it.

2 things:
#1: Yer cheatin' on the brakes, those calipers were all brand new/fresh out of the factory boxes in 2011 or so.
#2: Forget the 928, who's wearing M-parallels in the next bay over? Best Bimmer wheel ever.

Hahaha! Those belong to a really nice 540i I am selling. One of the best cars I have ever owned! This one has everything done including an M5 interior. Anyhow it goes as does my wife's 335i conv. then we buy a 996TT or similar. Pure Porsche house yeah!
BTW, only had to clean the calipers along with everything else.
PS installed an SC also. More pics to come. Hauls **** and still very reliable with only 6lbs.

SC pics and upgrades to come
Wanted to share some pics of the VCB engineering SuperCharger install. All in all I am very happy with the installation and performance. Very reliable power without over boosting concerns. Did the Stage 1 and Victor was very accommodating by coming to the house and doing the install. Also installed an air straightener in the MAF. Used T-bar clamps for most everything as the MAF was blowing out of the intake boot initially. Have not tested WOT yet until we go to the dyno.
Items to work on:
!. I will be working with a friend to fabricate another type of aluminum plenum to the MAF. Instead of all the silicone hoses and clamps, a more substantial and single piece of fabricated aluminum.
2. Surging a bit only around 40 to 45 miles per hour. This should be resolved shortly.
3. WBO2 mappings need to be completed. LF issue not allowing us to Shark tune the LF/WBO2. This is being resolved by Victor and others.
4. Dyno Tune. Coming as soon as other issues are resolved and we can see the WBO2 settings. Confirmation of power to come.
