Project 328i Summer 08 Upgrades by VELOCITY MOTORSPORTS

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesOLD and NEW shifter, side by side ... Its about 20-25% throw reduction , doesn't seem like much but its a massive feel and diffrence when you're driving!!

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesPic of the OLD (bottom pair) and the NEW (top pair) clutches. The Bully stage 4 is perfect for daily driven tuner cars and has an impressive torque capacity of 200% ... Thats soooo sick! : )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Yea , It looked pretty sad at first sight ... transmission leakin' fluid, everything was just rusted around it. its quite the challenge!
Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesBully's pending RXX techology allows for a dramatic 75-100% increase in pressure plate clamping force while keeping near OEM pedal effort... With the new clutch installed, things are comming together , slowly but surely. : )
Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesAll back in one piece, almost ready to go ... just needs to be torqued to specs and cleaned up more. After all thats been said and done , the new clutch still has to be broken in for about 600km.

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Guess what the man in brown brought today ... it feels just like Christmas and a kid opening his present on Christmas day!! -- Finally the VF supercharger is here -- yay!! : )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Every aspect of this kit has been fully engineered for high quality fitment and highly demanding performance and expectation...

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series VF's in-house horizontal, turning and milling CNC's and plastic molding plant, GIAC's industry reputation and track record, and Vortech's reliability have been fully exploited to create a product with internationally un-rivaled material technology, quality, and performance...

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Top pink are the OLD , 26 lbs injectors ... the bottom red are the NEW OEM high flow 32 lbs injectors ... YEA, I think the RED onces are cool ; )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Doing the easy stuff first ... we all gotta start from somewhere ... OLD injectors coming out ...

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series ... and the NEW injectors are in ... that looks freakin' HAWT!! -- yes , i get entertained really easily LOL : )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Before installing the S/C theres a TONNE of vaccume hoses that needs to be re-routed and its a like a super complicated ancient German puzzle ...

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series Quick snap shot of the secret weapon thats going in soon ; )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-Series ... Its amazing how huge this S/C will fit into the tiny corner of the engine bay but it fills up the space completely!! : )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesOne of the last stages of the charger going in ... won't be much longer now ...

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesPulleys on , everything torque'd down to specs ...

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesJust a close up of the quality VF engineering makes. Trust me, thats a SOLID bracket!! : )

Top_Dogxxx's 1997 BMW 3-SeriesMy BMW Tech, Alex, finishing the final adjustments on the engine ...
