Hello everybody! Just wanted to introduce my self to the forum. I've been lurking for quite some time, even before I purchased the car, the information here is endless so I want to thank the forum for that. I am a searcher so I probably won't be posting much, I may just use this intro thread as my progress thread too.

A little but about my self, I am definitely a DIY'er and have never really taken my car into a shop. On my previous car I've done everything, filter changes, clutches, head gaskets, engine replacements, etc. And I enjoy going to the track, mostly quarter mile.

I've already gotten my hands dirty with the E55, the only thing I have replaced so far is the infamous IC pump with a CM30 and added some lowering links. As far as plans for the car just the regular stuff, hopefully tune, pulley, headers, etc.

Here are some pics of a regular E55 which you guys have seen thousands of times and a couple of videos of the car at the track, I yelled "beautiful" because I saw the 1.89 60' on the board haha. I was impressed with the 12.6@114.6 seems like it is performing well for a pretty much stock 10 year old car

Both of these runs were against my buddy's 2013 M3.




And here are some random iPhone shots

Thanks for reading!

 

Good job! Welcome!

 

Thank you! Do you go to PBIR often?

 

Welcome! I frequently travel down to FL. I'll honk if I see you.

 

Haha. Thanks!

 

Cool

Thanks for the videos and pics!!

 

No, I'm trying to go this year but timing hasn't be right, will try again if it gets cooler for sure

 

Glad you enjoyed them, you're welcome!

I know it's been so warm out this season, the day I went was nice like high 50's low 60's which is why I think I ran a good time. My goal is to run times like yours in your sig, I'd love to be trapping in the 120's!

 

Congrats and welcome!!!

Nice vids!

 

Thank you!
