Jbaker1121's FX35 updates and photo thread

You will have a ball in London. We have been there many times. We will be in Cambridge, England, then Ireland in a couple of weeks for Christmas and New Years. Our daughter does research there.

I'm going to be staying in a flat in Hyde Park. Tell her to stop by! i don't bite ;) haha JK
 
dude, if your looking for them in 20's why'd you PS them as like 24's??? :tongue: try just the rim with your tire & use your rim as a guide to really see a visual as 20's...
 
So I've decided these are the wheels I may want.....

VOLK TE37


They still make those, I've seen them in 20'S and they're definitely hot. Another alternative is also the Volk VR.G2 in 20" though, just as mean looking but about $500 cheaper per wheel ... sadly though, still $1000+ wheels, ARRR!!! :embarrassed:

hmm those are pretty nice too actually...
but hey, they are still REALLY inexpensive compared to other brands.

Very much impresses, it is simple super and where it is possible to get the repeater on mirrors???

Im guessing you mean the turn signals. they are custom made by username turbocad6 (John) using mercedes benz turn signals. I had these custom made by him, but since you are far away from us in New York, you may have to use the ebay option. There are two kinds found on ebay, though I think the ones I have look a lot nicer and are better quality )its a mercedes part, lol)

Wow your filter is in a much more convenient position. I'm glad I got the K&N one with the nut attached for removal.

I'm pretty sure yours is in the same place....?

Are those stillen or kinetix HFCs? I just put on Kinetix HFCs with non-foulers! They are awesome for the price! Great sound...not obnoxious....butt dyno likes em and no CEL at all! Did it in two-hrs in my garage with an injured hand. One of my favorite mods so far.
 
Finally, Jordan! Been waiting for the write up before I pull the trigger on mine. Still looking at some Berks.

The ones you posted - used?
