Turbo upgrade opinions and pics of my e90

e90slut · 09-14-2015, 03:44 PM

Hi everyone, its been a while since i've posted on here but i just wanted to get opinions. I've been dreaming of a single turbo ever since i bought the car. I have been in both a single and an upgraded twin motor both around 600 whp ( which is my goal) I know that this is realistically attainable for a twin upgraded and easy af for single. I'm leaning towards a vtt or rb kit lately because of the cost and also the spool time.

heres some pics of my ricerocket

I'm guessing this was just the advice he was looking for.

That sticker on the windshield is hidious. But I actually like the last pic where the blue rims complement the tint.

Get rid of the sticker, get rid of the other fog light and i think it's good.

Edit: kidney slats are gay, needs to be all black and the sticker on the marker light, Wtf? Also, tinted tail lights are also gay.

Shall76 · 09-14-2015, 09:13 PM

Damn tough crowd... Well I for one really like your build, and was really close to getting the SSR GT3's myself. Great to finally see a set on an E90.

Meeni · 09-14-2015, 09:14 PM

The front bumper doesn't fit. The fender roll is poorly performed, the sticker on the windshield looks hu hoo, the stretch on the wheel screams poser, the stickers on the orange reflectors look like a 2yo cut it, and the euro plate, ah, euro plate.

I like the brakes.

Now the white slats, the tinted rear lights and the black roof, and the blue wheels, I'm not sure. I don't really like them, but I can see its a matter of taste.

jin · 09-14-2015, 09:48 PM

The headlights look like they have black duct tape on them. Remove that, get proper blackline or depo rear lights and plastidip or powder coat matt black or gun metal the rims.

lilez19 · 09-14-2015, 10:11 PM

Not my taste at all.

Alienpsychologist · 09-14-2015, 11:02 PM

Doesn't the OP merit an answer to his turbo question? While his cosmetic mods aren't my taste either calling them ricer is a bit much.

Boland01 · 09-15-2015, 06:31 AM

I don't like the blue rims either. But hey, each to their own. If you like it, that's what matters.

W.WCherry · 09-15-2015, 10:41 AM

This car looks like it was sponsored by eBay

Why is he posting pics of his car then? Lol

HouseN54 · 09-15-2015, 10:57 AM

I vote ST, unless you like taking apart the car every 5000 miles then go with vtt or rb.

Very Honda looking roll, but the bumper fits. What about the tires is poser, it's stanced, how is that poser? disagree. Also, either raise the rear or lower the front more, it's reverse raked.

mike@x-ph.com · 09-15-2015, 01:01 PM

Get the RB, it is the most proven turbo for your car
Good luck

e90slut · 09-15-2015, 05:30 PM

hahaha i love it, fortunately for all of you keyboard warriors its my car and not yours. the front bumper is being fixed to fit more to the fender and because of the size of wheel i had to roll the fenders to the max to fit a tire that i can actually lay power down with. I have never been called "rice" except on here. The overlay is a brushed vinyl as well as the hood, grill and emblems. If i built the car for e90 post then id take all of your advice.. but im not. btw there are no parts on this car at all from ebay.

anyways. I was liking RB, but saw these "Pureturbos" and i might look into those but they want 4k for their kits. RB with inlets seems like the best option

Thanks man, i hadn't seen many running them so i found these and got them powdercoated the color looks horrible in pictures but in person it has a really nice hue to it.

The only bit of advice ill take is the tail lights. I think i do need a set of depo's lol. And to the guy who said something about a sticker on marker.., e90 dont have marker i just threw it on because i cracked the bumper

lowlife

Slammed e90

I like the grill man! Where did you get the blackout outer but satin slats? I like that better than the all black grilles.
