I bought these from track use. The quality is top notch.

I was wondering about the length. I opted for the mini length RTD shifter, but if those are race length they look fairly short - maybe the angle in the picture?

For the z the mini is perfect, I got the longer shaft. I currently run an AKG and it's height is in the middle. Just to give you an idea I attach the current set up. Also you can change to the v4 knob which would make it the same height as the AKG

Did the same last week. Just in case

Way to go. Mine are sitting and currently uninstalled while I am getting quotes and they are all over the place.

LEGO S54

Bought this a couple weeks back, but finally got the chance to build it. A replica LEGO S54 made by ReplicaMotorsport. The initial batch of 25 sold out very quickly, but if anyone here is interested they are doing a second batch later today at 9pm pst. Details on the replicamotorsport IG page.

Fun little project and nice little desk accessory.

There's a timelapse on my IG post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BudbOIJh...=14b01jih7vml8

Here's a pic of the final product:

Was going back and forth on new wheels, either OEM 219/260’s or Apex. Decided to go with Apex EC-7’s (they just finished a group buy). Just need to pick some sticky tires before summer rolls around!

My first and last top down drive of 2019. Took the Z out to fill up the gas tank and added some Stabil.

Car is going to be in hibernation with a battery tender until I can get around to bulletproofing the S54. I've got no service history with the car so I'm kind of done playing the lottery with it. The thing is, when you go that deep into the car, you start thinking about refreshing the entire 93k mile OEM suspension too.

I'll get it eventually, got too many other priorities this year.

Damn, that's a very nice looking M Roadster. And you also have a Misano Blue X2 with M Sport Package?

Do you like the X2?

It sure is, with Xdrive.

I like it as a DD, but wouldn't love it as an only car. It's decently comfy, roomy for its size, looks great (absolutely love Misano Blue), is super quiet for its category and easily gets 32 MPG on the hwy.

Admittedly, it's a company car, so I don't have to pay what these go for normally. Was worth it to keep the M's clean!

Saw this on a BMW Instagram post and the GF liked it, so I decided to do my own install...had to make this professional level, of course!

-2 sets of lights, independently controlled, 1 set front grills, 1 set interior (8, 1ft led strips total)
-bluetooth control modules
-unlimited color possibilities
-wired directly to fuse box
-switched power to save on parasitic battery drain
-all wiring hidden in cabin paneling and bundled in engine bay (over 50ft!)

Just need to secure the lights in the grill area and reinstall front grill

Ah nice! I saw a picture of that a few weeks ago on a Lego subreddit and I've been looking around for instructions ever since. I didn't realize it was a company that built them as an actual purchasable item.

I would message ReplicaMotorsport, if he sees more demand, he might do a third run.

Thanks for the info. When they launched the X2 I thought it looked fairly dumpy but in M Sport and Misano Blue it looks downright seriously good. And that's it's best color by far. Great choice.

Doesn't seem like they have an email. Anything else requires some social media presence.

Yea seems he runs everything through his Instagram.

If you don't have/use social media, message him on Etsy, which is what he uses to sell his kits. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReplicaMot...g_id=649941084

Glad to see somebody else do this JDM mod.
I replaced my 3rd brake light years ago, (and again since, nuther story), so I put the old one behind the grill.
Light was fine except the lens was shattered.
Now it looks like my engine glows red hot.

Bought it a while ago but just finished installing it. Just have to load the tune and then wait for the weather/roads to get nicer before I can actually hear it. But so far I'm happy.
