*MotorWerks Houston Meet Pictures*

Here are the pics, guys. My tripod broke so I had to pick up a ghetto replacement at Wal-Mart on the way over. I did the best I could, but a lot of the pics of the shop didn't turn out.

Thanks to Sunil and MoterWerks for giving us a place to meet up. It was great to meet everyone!

Enjoy!

It was nice meeting every one that showed up. Thanks Sunil again for hosting the meet at your shop. Hopefully we can do another one.

That's a pic of my car with the hood open. Sunil's 55k is still in the works. Should be done soon. He's done a lot of work on the car and it crazy how the w203 chassis swallows up the e55k engine.

Definitely, didn't realize how slow my car was. Felt like I was standing still when I was next to yours. I need some upgrades.

Well....My buddy Scott and I just got to motorwerks and a 08 997 Turbo (pictured) and a modded 335i (also in the pictures) went to play on the frontage roads so Scott and I gave chase. The 997 played with the 335 for a bit and I followed. I then pulled next to the 997 at 40 mph, he down shifted and that was my que to nail it!!! Scott then commented "he must not be in it" because he got the jump but could not pull away from me. We did that same routine for a couple of runs and then the good part.....He pulled up to me at a red light and said "DAMN!!! What do you have in that thing?!?!" I simply replied "V6 Kompressor".

For some odd reason, when I had the shocks replaced in the front, the front end remained lifted like that. They told me that it should settle a bit, but never did. I'm going to have to check in to that.

what kind of spring pads did they use?

with my Renntech's my front sits a bit lower than my rear..

I can only use 225/40.. anything wider might work but anything taller is out of the question.

I have no clue. I'll probably put some h&r springs in and hope that it sits lower in the front. I'll just change the front becaue I like the height in the rear.
