No plans for a weekend blaster for now. The new daily driver is a sleeper during the week and can be unleashed at the weekend.....All 308 horses!

Start with a 250 or 400cc
A 308hp daily driver.....Man u balling.

Reveal the model........... cheesy,

Thanks for the consultation. I guess I'll have to make do with those skinny rear wheeled CBR-250-300 for now.

If I show up for membership at your bike club, will I be allowed in with a 300cc bike

If "YES", will the crew slow down for me to keep up on those travelling trips u guys normally undertake??

You said 303bhp, 7sp autoshifter, awd, then its infiniti M35x.



But if you said 306bhp, 7sp autoshifter, awd, then its 2007-2009 infiniti G35x with VQ35HR engine.

Shagati, you have betrayed the cause.

Update on my E46

StahlBlau got a bit boring so I did this.

Matte Grey with red calipers. Getting some plastidip to give try out a different colour for the rims and some carbon fibre vinyl for some interior bits.

Plan to wrap the vinyl myself. Will keep everyone posted

Re: Bmw 325Ci E46 - Repairs and Maintenance by Nobody: 9:53am On Oct 25, 2014
Nice one! Nice one!! Lungwun I love the Matt gray Infact I love all the Matt colors except Matt black. I think the wheels look pretty good. I saw an M5 Matt blue once and I had eyegasm for an hour.

An LED tail light would make the car pop more, bros more pics Abeg.

Leave Shagatti for betraying the cause we would deal him, his japmobile would make him come running pretty soon.

Because you asked nicely, here are some more photos grin

The keen eyed ones will notice my amber front lenses are absent.

Cracked one on an irate keke napep and to keep the general theme, removed the other.

Got some replacements winging their way to me from autopartswarehouse.

The paint job is awesome I thinking of either Matt blue or red. Just noticed the cracked lens cool.

You Could have easily gotten an E70 X5 for that money.

You have betrayed the revolution and we are dissappoint.

Only had for less than a month. No wahala yet.
Just serviced and adjusted parking brake till date.
Because of the response I get everytime I put my foot down (and what a response!) fuel economy is not smiling.
I have only managed 14 mpg city driving.
EPA rating is 15-23 city-highway.

14mpg city is based on non-premium fuel, sheer mass of the bionic cheeter wannabe, its dimension and a lead footed owner. tongue


Hey bro congrats on this smiley
Btw, how's the exhaust growl like compared to the 1st generation FX35 and FX45, is it 'growlier or 'less growlier' (sic)?

Lead footed is putting it mildly grin
Less "growlier" than Gen 1 but still gets noticed at traffic light drag races (erm...well within speed limits Officer)
