Sylvans new ride

Update another new ride.....


X5 Diesel I love this one. Since the pictures I have got fender flares, gave the tail lights a slight tint, the front kidney grills I replaced with all black ones, lowering springs are sitting in my garage and I have side skirts on the way and possible a BBK. I also have it tuned its 300hp and 500ftlbs of torque so it goes pretty good for an SUV.

Well I still have my car, I recently blew a Cosworth CF end cap right off you can see the seal is still intact but the cap is gone and it broke the oil filler neck off as well causing the cams to throw some oil around.



so I am waiting on a new one and while it was down I sent the poor paint matched rear bumper in and the duck bill spoiler Danny@Slammered sourced for me is getting molded and painted. I have lost alot of love for my car recently and to fill the void I turned my affections to a truck. I am a big guy so I feel fairly crowded in cars my head hits the roof and the seats are tight . So the truck is just more comfortable.

After 7 years and 5 Nissan Titans....Here it is a 2010 GMC Sierra "All Terrain" Z71 with a full load and a 6.2L engine.

Of course I can't leave anything alone, it has a K&N drop in filter a tune (night and day difference) a 2.25" leveling kit in the front and 1" lift block in the rear. I went and picked up some OEM Denali 20" with some 275/75 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I swapped out the All Terrain grill for an OEM Denali one, and de-badged a few things including the Z71 stickers. A full De-Badge should be soon.

Not my pictures but how it looked when I got it....I hated the wheels

I keep thinking of parting out the car and getting a supercharger for it (even more after driving Red35s supercharged Tundra for a weekend) but the near future plans are a set of Escalade 22"s possible a conopy and a OEM navi unit and maybe a sub..

Nope they made me pay, Randy from R-Rydes even tried hooking me up but no dice. I ended up paying big bucks for the billwt aluminum ones....if they had to come out with billet ones they must know the CF ones were an issue.


I will likely sell the G I have grown out of it, I take my customers places and I would be embarrassed to pick them up in the G.

I saw a nice M3 sedan with BBK, Dinan exhaust and HRE wheels that I really like...but $75,000

My Co-worker has an M3 converable that he got HREs and a supercharger for that I like as well.

I also drove a few M5s that I really liked, so likely a sedan or a convertible my girls are 4&6yrs and they would love a convertable so would my wife. The G is uncomfortable for trips so as a family we rarely take it anywhere although my kids both like to "go fast" so they like taking it around town. I have the winter to decide. I still want to get a race gas tune and see if I can crack 800whp (my original goal for the car) the tuner figured 750whp would be easy so 800 isnt out of reach. I plan or raising it up a bit and maybe driving it a little more this upcomming summer see if I can fall back in love with it. The trucks are just so much more comfortable to drive...I am fairly big (6' 250lbs) so I dont fit well in the G.
