We have continued to work away with this E92 BMW M3 car here at Vivid Racing. Our goal was to get 3 or 4 parts done on the vehicle and that is almost complete. We have a muffler back unit featuring the Agency Power Titanium Tips. We completed the center straight pipes which delete the resonators and cats, and we are finishing up the 3 piece pulley kit. In addition, we have a carbon fiber cold air intake in the works. Yes very busy!
This car was already lowered by us on some springs and we added to the touch this gloss charcoal HRE P43 wheels. The wheels are a 19×9 and 19×10.5 1 piece forged monoblocks. The front wheels weight about 21lbs and the rear about 24lbs. Very light and strong of course. Biggest difference with HRE monoblocks compared to the competition… they cut all their own forgings so they can have the exact spec to fit the cars they do. You will notice that their spoke design all the way flush to the outer rim is unique as well. To top off the wheel, we added a HAND done pinstripe to the wheel. Original we were doing paint match from the body, the silver was hard to see and almost looked like a giant ring of curb rash. So we put heads together and decided to do the BMW blue from the emblem. Different, but cool!
As you step up the power level on your 996 Turbo, having proper cooling efficiency is mandatory to maximize your turbo performance. Street and track cars will heavily benefit from the use of our upgraded intercoolers. The factory Porsche intercooler core is great, but their end tanks are what is lacking. Agency Power has developed these complete intercooler replacements for your Porsche 996 Turbo.
The bar and plate intercooler core is designed to provide maximum cooling efficiency for turbo cars producing up to 950 horsepower. The cast end tanks are aluminum and then precision welded to the thick racing upgraded cores. The ends of the intercoolers are designed to work with your factory style boost hose fittings or our Agency Power silicone boost hose kit. The intercoolers retain the factory mounting positions and come in a polished finished.
The intercoolers fit all Porsche 996 TT, X50, and GT2 vehicles from 2001-2005.

This Audi S8 equipped with HRE 943R wheels was emailed to us over by the HRE staff. These wheels are brushed and cleared on the center with the outers in gloss black. The car is obviously lowered and as it sits, no more words are needed to describe this master piece!
Eric aka Twiggs and his Scion TC received some new Tein STech springs here at Vivid Racing today. Oh yes, even the employees get their work installed here! Eric has also added a Greddy Ti-C exhaust, and some other goodies. We will keep this project updated as Twiggs goes!

Vivid Racing was brought a Audi A3 to do some special work on recently. This car was already looking stout on some BBS CH wheels. To give it a great stance we installed and aligned the car with some H&R lowering springs. Not being biased at all with our own red Audi A3 project car :), we had to showcase this clean German wagon to the blog.
