This customer post up pictures of his project BMW M3 he is working on including the installation of his new Advan RS-D wheels.  The 1 piece wheels made by Yokohama Japan are 19″ staggard sizes featuring Michelin PS2 tires.  They feature a gloss black center with a machined lip.  Each wheel weighs about 22lbs and are definitely stylish on the M3.  Check out the pictures below and other Customer Cars from Vivid Racing Here.  View our entire line up of BMW M3 Parts and Advan Wheels Here.

Audi’s new S5 car is a great mix of style and performance but still needs that improved exhaust tone and performance boost that STaSIS can provide. The Signature Series catback for the S5 adds around 10 to 15 HP and TQ across the powerband and improves the tone to a pronounced yet refined sound. And like all the STaSIS parts Vivid Racing sells, durability and design will fit well with your S5.

Also new to the Vivid Racing online catalog are the Nissan R35 GT-R Seibon carbon fiber parts and Vorsteiner aerodynamic pieces for the BMW 3 series including the M. The Seibon GT-R exterior and interior parts are designed to reduce the weight, increase the performance and of course, improve the overall appearance of one of the hottest cars of 2009 and 2010.

When you purchase a BMW, one of the last things that may cross your mind is what you can do to improve the style of an already great car. But after seeing the Vorsteiner parts that are available to you, your opinion will change. It is not easy to create great lines that perform well and compliment the OEM car, but that is exactly well you get with Vorsteiner.

For years I have hated going to the dragstrip, but recently found a new love for learning the art of launching and going fast.  This past Friday, Vivid Racing and friends headed down to Firebird International Raceway for Friday night drags.  It was about 95F out in the Arizona night.  We just filled up with some 100 octane pump gas and were ready to hit it.  In the crew:  2010 Nissan GTR with 5Zigen Inconel exhaust and Cobb Accessport, a BMW E36 widebody racecar at an astonishing 2600lbs powered by a LS1 V8 engine aka GMW, and our very own Project 997TT.  The Porsche was just equipped with some straight pipes and a custom plenum with larger throttle body.  This was its first run out to do some tests.

With the boost cranked up to 1.4bar, the first run was a miss with a bad start.  Taking the lap around to the start, I was able to get a good a line up and launch, firing down the strip with a trap speed of 127mph and a time of 11.4.  This was the best run of the night as 2 other runs after were misses.  With the included mods, cooler temperatures, and some fine tuning, we expect to see this 997 in the mid 10’s.  More work ahead!  Enjoy the video and pics

As one of the official dealers for Vorsteiner, they have given Vivid Racing an exclusive sneak peak of their new E92 BMW M3 carbon fiber front bumper and hood.  Having used these parts on our Project M3 and Project 997TT, we are well aware of Vorsteiner’s commitment to quality.  The carbon fiber hood features functional vents while the bumper includes a lower lip spoiler and big vents to keep the coolers and radiator cool.  Check out all our Vorsteiner Aero Products Here.
