Hey Guys/Gals i wanted to let everyone know that Project Shamu is underway once i get my car back from the dealership for some idle faults. kinda sucks when parts are getting delivery and i don't have a car to install them on.

So myself and Darwin@SonicMS has team up to build a project car, so beginning of Jan 2009 when i get my car back my poor Stock car beside the RDsports springs will change to a new beauty

Shamu Safe at home

08/05/08 Shamu gets some stunna Shades

11/23/08 Shamu get new Springs

Calipers will get painted

Rims will get painted 3 different colors

More on the way!!!!!

GL with that noise ... I just saw today another M3 at the dealership with the same problem, and they just pulled out engine to change bearings that "supposedly" causing that noise ... Well, after I asked tech if they had any training on how to change it and if they've done it before , he said that it is the first one and they are kind of figuring things out ... I hope it's not the case with your car !

the ride isnt as harsh compare to stock. if you have edc let just say it somewhere between comfort and normal when EDC is set to Comfort mode.
