I built my car before i had a computer , ( dont like them )

So there really isnt much on the net plus i wouldnt have had subscribed because of competition and not letting your competitors know your car.

However my car did feature in many magazines both here , States and UK

I had the first Alpine DVD player and screen from the States 8 months before Alpine Australia got theirs.
Veritas horns with massive drivers
Focal midbass 9 inch in the kickpanels
2 15 cerwin vega strockers
The alpine unit only spun the disc as i had an Apogee DA converter ($8,000 at the time )
RANE Xover , 60 band eq
orion eq
soundstream amps
Noise gate
Master volume control
Oh BTW i was told in not so many words that it would be better if i retired from the comp as no-one can even close to my car.
I was 100 points higher than the next car and it was a PRO car

When I first read Audio BM I thought of the Beryllium BMW (which is a seriously amazing install if you have a spare few days to read through the build thread) . Is there anywhere online I could view some detailed info, I have a keen interest in audio.

I am interested in more info on said BMW please.

My 318is BMW was the highest winning car of all time. Won every State final and the Australasian Car Audio sound quality Champion. I was ameture 0-500 watts but also scored higher than the PRO cars > 1000 watts.
State of the art install done by me and only 6 speakers. All Pro gear. My Tweeters were louder than most competitors Subwoofers going up to a SPL of 130 DB !

I really hope to see your car one day. If I'm ever coming to Melbourne, I'll let you know. Enjoy your car every moment you can.

On the car ? Nothing just enjoying driving her :)

Ive been on another forum while i anxiously wait 2 years for my N/A Beast.

The MR2 is great and i guess i have said enough of the Beams and the Rotrex. Its been absolutely a joy over the heat waves we had. But its time to put the tools up and enjoy life and get out of the garage

What have you been doing since then?

So after all is said and done we started to tune my car.
Since it was a new Super Charger we stayed very conservative

That was Dec 2012.
After about 5,000 kms we went at it again and with timing and VVTi and adjustments to both the BOV and Wastegate we were at 323 RWKW's

No bad at all given thats only 18 psi and 98 premium. No E85 required , No water/meth required as all the temps are low.

It was an interesting time in my life as was the BMW but hey we move on to bigger and better things.

Looks fantastic....I'm just a bit envious.....I love the fact that it looks almost factory.

I just need to win the lotto :(

My best mates brother is a cop and a car lover. He was asked to look at her to see if there was any mods and he said " i guess there is as you wouldnt have asked but i cant see any " :)

In actual fact he thought i painted the Plenum until i showed him a picture of an OEM Beams car

It was great to finally get the MR2 President in my car

Finally had an opportunity to go for a drive with the President of the MR2 club over here. In his monthly reports he noted the drive and wrote a few lines.
In actual fact i was extremely glad that we got together to see an unbiased appraisal of my car. Please note they used some older pics of my car as its now supporting the SC and new 17 inch rims

Unlike my other car, Car audio Australasian Champion BMW i didnt want to go down the path of having it published.

Sure it was great that the BMW made front cover of many magazines both here and overseas especially America , i just dont want to go thru it again
