4-pot ferocity

[BigFas]

In anticipation of my soundpipes being installed tomorrow, took some video clips for the "before" part of a before and after comparison



Nothing major, just about a minutes worth of video. Probably the loudest and fastest 2.0 valvetronic in the world ;)

Thanks to Slayerx of e46fanatics.com for hosting

:D :D :D :D .....that is just AWESOME! The ending is :cool: :cool: :cool:

Haha very nice bro she's sounding pretty fine.

What program do you use from the vid editing?

[BigFas]

Windows movie maker :) Standard with XP.

I have a Sony digital video camera, sony digi-cam and sony laptop. Bringing it all together is a piece of piss

[Ali_]

Sure,, hmm ive just got a sony vid cam alittle while ago but havent really got into it as much as i guess i should.... Is it save onto MStick and transfer styles??

[BigFas]

No. Firewire link. Just get a firewire cable which goes directly from the camera to the computer. Switch on the camera in playback mode and the computer accepts the camera as an input source and fires up moviemaker and you can control the camera from the PC.

If you don't have one, it's worthwhile installing a firewire card. I use my port all the time as I have an ipod too and it transfers a whole album in less than 10 seconds

[Afif]

LOL now that was a cool beemer presentation! If you guys need any more hosting i got 60gb of bandwidth going to waste every month at the moment which you could use.

[Ali_]

Fas cheers mate, my laptops got firewire plus weve got apples here at work so ill read up on the manual and possibly buy a cable (not to sure if i have one). Should be fun :D

[BigFas]

Afif, I need the video re-hosting as the original link is down. Can you host it for me and send me the URL? The guys on e46fanatics are busting my hump as the link is down.

[Phil_D]

I was just about to get on to ya about that as well ;) Looking forward to hearing it

[BigFas]

If your e-mail can cope with a 1 meg attachment, I can e-mail it to you

[Afif]

uploading it now.

[Afif]

http://www.uksupercars.com/bmw/EvotechnikSolo_hosted02a.wmv should do it :D

[BigFas]

Perfect. Thanks bro :)

Hopefully new clips will be up later today

[Afif]

when their done you can email them to afif@uksupercars.com (no attachment limit size that i know of) and ill upload them later on.

[Phil_D]

Very nice man , lovely note indeed

[BlackBimmerUK]

Sounds nice man.

[BigFas]

The UK tuning scene OFFICIALY sucks hairy, sweaty donkey balls. All I want is to get soundpipes installed. How F**king hard can that be? On a recommendation, I went to a place and spunked 3 hours up a wall. If anyone wants an Eisenmann soundpipe suitable for 4 or 6 cylinder single pipe models, make me an offer or it's going in the bin. I've given up

[Afif]

ill have anything before you throw it away dude :D. Ill give you a kit kat for it :cool:

[BlackBimmerUK]

BigFas what was the problem with the install. Why could no one do it??

[BigFas]

Well, installer one has cancelled my appointment 3 times and has delayed the install by 2 months. A friend recommended a place local to me, and I trusted his judgement. So, after a double-check phonecall, yeah, bring it in, we'll put it straight on the ramps, was kept waiting around for an hour. So, when it does get on the ramps, they didn't take into consideration how low my car was and scrape the front splitter, when the DO get it on the ramps, without even THINKING about measuring or offering up the piece to the car, the started taking a cutting tool to the exhaust. I told them to put everything down and give my car back. I had seen enough.

Oh, and the reason I was kept waiting was that an oil service turned up. Not bad I thought, until I saw him close the sump, put the oil filter cap on (bear in mind it was another e46 convertible), fill the car with oil, start it up and then realising he hadn't put the f*ckin' actual filter in.

Afif, the lure of the kitkat is nigh, may just take you up on that offer bud

[Afif]

no way man! Like you said how hard can it be to just install soundpipes! i say DIY :D or take a trip across the channel and find someone more competent (lol im half way thru CCFL install using laptop in the car :D.... i love wirelesss :D)

[Shuriken]

I offer 2 kitkats, with OEM wrappers. lol! :D

Shuriken.

[Afif]

lol its all about the orange mod wrappers :D.

[Ali_]

Fas let me know what you want for the gear and ill see if im in the ball park..
Sorry to hear about youre misfortune hopefully it want be a lost cause for someone else....

[BigFas]

the soundpipes are really cheap, they cost me £60. So best offer secures ;) So far, Shuriken is winning with 2 kitkats :P

[Afif]

lol id beat him but tbh i love the car being nice and quite :D. Specially in the mornings.

[Ali_]

Fas if you can explan how these pipes work or are attached that would be great im kinda not up with it when talking about exhausts.

Ill PM you my offer. :)

[BigFas]

I will let Nick's pics do the talking

What you're getting is a single pipe version. You see behind the backbox, there is a join, another piece of piping, that's what the sounpipe is. It's just a pipe that bypasses the resonator. Any exhaust shop can fit them in a couple of hours MAX

[Afif]

lol you mean in theory they can ;) in reality its a bitch.

[Afif]

btw i want some more evo technic 'ferocity' videos. Maybe a 6-pot Sc next time ;).

[kam32oi Cab]

bloody hell fas that cli was good, i always thought ur car was a 330 coz i heard it on tickover and just assumed it. The last bit on that clip fookin made me cream! nice touch! can u make a video of mycar fas spielberg!! ;) :cool:

[BigFas]

LOL, That video clip took me 20 minutes to put together. gotta love windows movie maker, makes the most retarded user look good.

Kam, let me know if you're free one weekend, would definitely be able to get some video made up. Doesn't take long, all we need is a clean stretch of road, and as you can see, I have the ideal spot, just happens to be in front of my uncle's garage ;)

Hit me up, you have me on IM, let's do it. you can take more movies of me as it was actually one of my boys driving, I was doing the filming

[peppernick]

Hey bro, if you're free this weekend maybe pop over to make a video ;) ..............car video that is :o :o

[BigFas]

Let's do it. I am only busy for a couple of hours on Sunday so I'm definitely up for it. May even wash the car! I'll let you know what time I'm available.

BTW, the reason I'm busy on sunday. my wife is pissed off (jealous) about my modding, so we're tarting her car up :D

She already has the sport pack from the factory, mesh grill (upper and lower) and spoiler. She had 15 inch rims, we've just won a set of 17inch GTI rims off ebay and picking them up on Sunday.

Teddy, she DROOLS over the CCFL's, we need to mod hardcore and mod a set to fit the Pug 307. I'll post pics up on Sunday :)

[Afif]

lool atleast she understands what your doing :D. Should consider yourself lucky :p

[BigFas]

Nick, let me know if you're up for hooking up. We'll take some vid clips of your car :) Kam, if you're car issues are sorted, let's get yours done too

[peppernick]

Busted my clutch today, so I'm driving really slowly until 6 Dec, going back to Birdy Place (no choice, no one else could handle the SMG) for lightweight flywheel as well :D

[Afif]

how did you bust your clutch?

[peppernick]
