Here's something cool...

That is bloody brilliant man! :blowheart: How does the gearbox handle/feel with the additional power/torque from a V10? Assuming the gearbox was over engineered by the M guys if it is able to duty in that monster..

Wow, if this can be done again, I may jus see myself in a V10 M5 after all:tiptoe:

Great job, I kind off figured software would be a challenge with such a build...insane conversionraise:

This beauty strolled through the shop today. ESS 625 SC and a mad AC Zorst. Now I want to do mine as well :rollsmile:









I took a vid of the drive, but my word choice left a lot to be desired :roflol:

Nice car Ashlin!

Here's another really cool retrofit car, and my first serious retrofit on an F series. The customer wanted top of the line Nav and went for the wide screen NBT unit, to replace the dinky little 6inch stock display. This turned into quite the undertaking, as no factory wires were to be cut or rerouted. New wiring was installed and factory wiring was left in place.

He also wanted the best out there, so top of the line stuff was used for the retrofit, including the latest Touch Pad controller. Bear in mind, this stuff doesn't work standard on the car, so a fair amount for work was done to make it all compatible. This was also not a cheap retrofit. And I'm not kidding, as this Nav unit was imported - they're just not available locally for this car.











This car has also been extensively modded and is stupidly quick.
