Gotta love the ZCP wheels. Such a timeless design!

@StraightSixM2C beautiful M2 comp in your signature! The only new M car that interests me. Hockenheim, right?

Nice to see some ///M fans here! It's a 2013 E92 M3. Atleast one of them has a V8... and one of them has an oil dipstick! :Big Laugh:

AW is such a classic color on an E92. Pick up another one before the prices get crazy like an E30 and E36,E46. Geez!

I'm considering picking up an E36 M3 but finding a good one without crazy money is getting difficult. Damn "stance nation" kids buying them up! LOL

I have had three e46 m3s and one e92 m3. My favorite was **** down, the 04 White e46 m3 coupe with cinnamon guts...

Then, the pins in the transmission decided to blow threw the casing LOL. Right after the G O T D A N G pump needed to be replaced.

@Hagasan41 the brakes in the first picture threw me off, I couldn’t figure out why. Makes sense now, you fixed the Achilles heel of that car. That the main reason I got the m2C, finally a M car with a decent brake package.
Kinda what bums me out about the raptor tho. Braking performance is fine. It will over power the tires no problem but it can definitely do with a better brake package. I want to do the alcon package but refuse to put heim joints anywhere in the suspension. This truck lives on the street 99% of the time.

Yup. Heim joints are ok for a racing vehicle that is disassembled and reassembled after ever event. Otherwise heim joints are junk that will wear out in short order on a street vehicle subject to the normal wear and tear of daily driving. I've run them occasionally on sway bar links, but they must be cleaned at least weekly to prevent the very slop/play/hysteresis they're designed to prevent.

And all the chatter that goes along with them.

I wish Brembo offered a BBK kit for the Raptor that would fit the 17” factory rims. :cool:

Installed Husky Wheel liners. These are a very difficult to install correctly. For the life of me, I could not get the two fender holes to line up on either side. One molding sits higher at the shock then the other side. I coated these with Nylaic before installing and placed them in the sun for a couple of hours, not sure it helped. My set was missing one screw that attaches to be inside of the wheel well.

Besides the fact that one side sits higher than the other side, I’m pleased with the outcome and it looks the way it should have come from the factory. Highly recommend this mod.
