Looks like Lake of the Ozarks

Good Eye! Love that lake. In fact, we are looking for a place there. Not in a hurry, but some time.
Pic was taken just North of Lands End Condos where all the arms meet.

Thanks I tend to collect them being a BMW tech lol.
Some of my others I have had in the past couple years.

Sadly I hardly have any pics on my MZ4 or 335I

That is great. I was a BMW tech in Hollywood/sherman oaks CA. I own a 328ci that we love. I am mad at it right now cause I can not get the vibration at 70+MPH out of it. I have to assume I have one or two bad rear axel shafts on it. It is driving me crazy. Love the cars though and love working on them. I like you don't have a lot of pics maybe I should take some.

Factory or aftermarket wheels? Have they been balanced by a hub or lug arbor? Most imports use the lugs to center the where, not the hub. So if the wheels are balanced with a plain old hub arbor, they can be off a little. I fought this on an old Wolfsburg Jetta II with BBS wheels. I finally convinced the service manager that we needed a lug arbor for the shop

Bmws are hub centric. Get the tires road force balanced cost more but might show your problem. Road force over 20 can cause vibrations.

This was our winter project

Winter Project: 2001 Neon with Candy paint job (Planet Color), 245/45/18 rims and tires needed suspension modification.

They have been forced balanced all four. It is not a wheel vibration been through all that. I replaced the drive line, carrier bearing, and u- joints last week. It took care of all the vibration up to 70+MPH then it is still their. i am thinking that it has to be rear axels or the new drive line is not balanced correctly. It is frustrating and expense.

Beautiful!!!! What do you use to tune your computer?

Here's my project:

[FacePlant]

Awesome ^^^. I meant to PM you yesterday to ask if thats what your screen name was all about, haha!! Looks like you got yourself quite a sleeper there. How much work was the conversion? Are you a member on svtperformance.com by any chance?? I know there are a couple of guys with terminator fox's on there.

Oh, and I use an SCT Xcal 2, but I take the car to Dave Guy for all tuning. Who does your tuning down there?

JUST ASKING

Winter Project: 2001 Neon with Candy paint job (Planet Color), 245/45/18 rims and tires needed suspension modification.

Why would anyone want to put candy paint on anything, specially a neon?

Ha Ha ya thats whats the names all about. It wasn't too much work. Actually it involves some minor modifications but nothing serious. No i am not a member i must join to check them out. No one does right now mainly cuz the car isnt running yet, but it will hopefully be me. I have been looking for some software that will allow me to plug in the laptop and do pretty much whatever i want so far i have found only one that i have seen in action i know there are plenty other but i just figured id ask.

www.tweecer.com is the one i have seen...
