The BMW Experience: A Journey of Triumph and Tribulation

As I embarked on my journey with the BMW, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. The car was sleek and powerful, with a 15-gauge layout that I was accustomed to working with. But as we began our first test drive, it became clear that this car was not going to be an easy ride. The shifting was smooth at first, but as we hit higher RPMs, the clutch seemed to stick, making it difficult to change gears.

Dialing In the Perfect Tune

As I delved deeper into the car's performance, I realized that something wasn't quite right. The front end needed some Jaime's replaced, and the motor was feeling a bit sketchy under braking and steering. But I was determined to get this car dialed in, so I set out to make the necessary adjustments. With the help of Jamie, we worked tirelessly to fine-tune the car's performance, making sure that every aspect was optimized for speed and agility.

A Night of Drifting and Discovery

As the night wore on, our work took us from the shop floor to the track, where we began to put the car through its paces. With a fixed voltage system in place, we were eager to see how the new setup would respond. The results were nothing short of astonishing – the car was handling beautifully, with a smooth and responsive shifting action that left me breathless. But just as things were going smoothly, our laptop died, and we were forced to call a halt.

The Importance of Balance

As we waited for the laptop to charge, I took a moment to reflect on the importance of balance in all aspects of life – including drifting. "Kroger's" principles of balance and harmony are crucial to achieving true mastery, and it was clear that our car had been out of balance. But with Jamie's expert guidance, we were able to bring everything back into alignment, and the results were nothing short of remarkable.

The Shifter: A Matter of Personal Preference

As I continued to work with the car, I began to realize that the shifter might be a matter of personal preference. The shifting was smooth at first, but as we hit higher RPMs, it started to feel a bit weird – like it was twisting and turning in ways that shouldn't be possible. But Jamie assured me that this was just part of the process, and that with time and practice, we would figure out how to make it work.

The Ride Home: A Moment of Reflection

As we drove home from the track, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. We had pushed the car to its limits, and had emerged victorious on the other side. But as I reflected on the journey, I realized that this experience was not just about the car – it was about the people who helped me along the way. My colleagues at the shop, Jamie, and even my friends back home had all played a role in making this journey possible.

A Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart

As we wrapped up our final preparations for the day, I took a moment to express my gratitude to everyone who had supported me on this journey. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for your encouragement, guidance, and hard work. Without your help, none of this would have been possible – and for that, I am truly grateful.

The BMW: A Cruiser with a Mind of Its Own

As we closed out our final preparations for the day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for this car. She was a cruiser, through and through – a vehicle designed to take you on long journeys and make memories that would last a lifetime. But as I gazed at her sleek lines and powerful engine, I realized that she was also something more than just a machine. She was a partner, a companion, and a friend – a true driving companion.

The Drifting Experience: A Night to Remember

As the sun dipped below the horizon, we made our way back to the track for one final test drive. The car was dialed in, the shifting was smooth, and the response was incredible. We put the pedal to the metal, feeling the rush of adrenaline as we pushed the car to its limits. And as we emerged from the track, I knew that this experience would stay with me forever – a night to remember, and one that I would always treasure.

The Shifting Problem: A Mystery to be Solved

As we prepared for our final test drive, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration about the shifting problem. It was like something was blowing up inside the car, and I wasn't sure what it was or how to fix it. But Jamie reassured me that this was just part of the process – that with time and practice, we would figure out how to make it work. And as we drove off into the sunset, I knew that tomorrow would bring a new day, and a new opportunity to solve the mystery of the shifting problem.

The BMW: A Journey of Discovery

As I looked back on our journey with the BMW, I realized that this experience had been one of discovery – not just about the car, but about myself. I had pushed my limits, tested my skills, and emerged stronger and wiser as a result. And as I gazed at the sleek lines of the car, I knew that this was just the beginning – a new chapter in my journey with this incredible machine.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enas predicted the BMW developed quite a few problems while sitting just as making some weird noises felt like someone's loose in the front end and then it started breaking up so we rode back in the Mustang today a couple quick notes about being in Florida it doesn't help that my alarm didn't go off and I woke up at like 11:00 but one of the things I just appreciate a lot about being away so much slower paced life is we're down here everything's so go-go-go that by the first hour that I was awake I already had a to-do list that was probably like three days worth of stuff to do so that's always really discouraging and the fact that there's so much traffic and everything so busy they have to like game plan my morning to make sure I can get food and coffee without wasting two hours sitting in line so I really take advantage of all the little traffic shortcuts I can take and all of the little online ordering stuff I can do so that's that's where I'm at I never thought I'd say this that Corolla is beautiful I don't know if that's a new model or something it looks so cool alright so I can tell you guys about this one definitely a problem with getting too many cars so there's another car that just arrived that technically is mine but let me let me explain you all right so I had to get the truck and trailer down here so I could bring the r32 up north and I don't want to bring it empty so guess what we got inside of here oh boy what did I do look at big momma that's her name hi guys so you can tell we'll give her a quick little walk around she has been in a wreck this is a salvage title rebuilt title I should say 370z I picked it up off a friend of mine up north and I figured it'll probably come in handy either for friends that are in town that want a car to drive around or drift at events or I could probably sell it make a little bit of money on it I don't know I might trade it for something but um I thought I'd show you real quick while we unloaded it there's a good deal and you know I don't know probably won't end up keeping it but it's pretty rad it's got 150,000 miles on it run Strong's already got a little tude if it sounds healthy she just got a little smushed from my shop front and some airbag deployment does she sound smooth huh well dirty but she's actually like pretty clean I don't really see any leaks or anything so here's my dumb decision of the day got a little airbag deployment in there honestly I kind of want to keep it but like I kind of don't I don't know what I should do what do you think Sean do you want it I'll trade you for your s13 it's Scott AC I think today has been filled with lots of meetings a lot too catching up since you know I've been gone for like two months and there's a whole business that runs here that you really needs me but the guys have been doing a great job we're just kind of touching based on a lot of stuff moving forward but now I'm gonna go out to the shop and start dialing some stuff on the r32 Alberto have spent some time rewiring a couple things today threw a blanket on the turbo and got the - all working but one thing that I want to dial in is the serial nine shifter needs a little adjusting you kind of have to play with them a little bit to get like all the lockouts and everything perfect so I'm just gonna pull that apart I would have liked to put a head unit in it but I was I got on time for that but the hole was driving me nuts so we've got some ABS now we're gonna start making splitters out of ABS right here's being cheap I don't have gotten through it yet so I cut like a little piece I made like a little dually panel yeah it's gonna he's a definite I mean just the right regulators so you can see it's radio that would be kind of funny so I thought about using the glossy side but I think we came to agreement about yeah yeah even if I put like some vinyl over it or something cool I think I like just the clean - yes so it's really good I'm gonna do that do it goodbye definitely miss this thing it wasn't so hot I'd probably be driving around it's gonna risk getting stranded driving one of the older cars around cuz it's so hot it's trying to fiddle around with this and change around the digital display trying to mess with some tuning stuff but um just having a lot of issues I guess my Charger's my computer got lost I can't figure out how to get Alberto's computer to connect so kind of a wasted night here at the shop and I'm definitely a little bit bummed but no I guess it is move it sometimes did my best and try my best to try to get this thing a little more sorted but you say it tomorrow to work on it a bit - just feels like I've got nothing done today what happens when I do all the dumb meetings and stuff I have a perfectly capable coffee maker I've just been really extra lazy lately and I like getting drinks my friends big boost wanted Frappuccino on the music sound really loud so I got to talk about over I going back to the shop yesterday I didn't really get much done so I just decide we continue video into today and then maybe try to make two videos today I was gonna wear my first step of today was dialing in the - got it set up just like that's 15 it's a gauge layout that I'm accustomed to so I'll kind of know what to look for and everything just made sure everything's working though got that done now we're gonna throw it up in the air and do a quick bolt check one thing I forgot to tell you guys yesterday that Alberto was geeking out about you want to show him see if they'll still realize themselves so smooth there's no bumps on it so Kroger's hey you guys balance into our chakras normally you're here you better make sure you have a balanced or not fall apart and so yes balance I managed this was well that's so good that it required no weight Sabanci that's crazy yeah so usually on these little things or like washers and stuff to help balance it but that's sick isn't it so the front car definitely needs some Jaime's replaced as a little bit of play in them right now but I made the executive call to actually wait and do that after this event just because I don't want to over complicate things and have to spend much time on that when the tune still isn't dialed in so I'd rather get the tune good and then know that I can just change those after the event dial in the alignment and get it good but right now I'm more concerned about the motor like I know what the car does angle wise and I know what we need to fix and what it'll feel like once we fix those it's just a little sketchy right now driving on the road I can feel it a little bit sway under braking and the wheel shakes a little bit but I think will probably change those after I just did some Street tuning with Jamie unfortunately laptop died so it's not perfect perfect yet but I thought it would close out this video here I know it's probably little bit on the shorter side which I'm sorry about I just I thought I'd bring it into today just to get a little more content but um she rips and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do you total injustice me and Pat are gonna go for a quick rip real quick and I'll show you guys kind of where she's at around the 500 horsepower mark with the fixed voltage and everything still a little bit weird stuff gonna with all response but Jamie is gonna get that all dialed in just waiting for the laptop to charge so we're gonna go get some Indian food and then we'll resume into tomorrow when we're going drifting so you guys can see how the new setup responds on track have you ever been in this thing I got a casual reminder on that - love you guys can see that it does not say go slower that's for sure got like a cool little cool panel she's a cruiser so the shifter might still need some adjusting I was having a hard time changing gears at higher rpm so I think the clutch might be part of the shoe I don't know it was kind of weird all right as we wait for traffic I just thought I would give you guys a massive thank you I'm not stalling or anything by any means it's sort of really from the bottom of my heart just tell you guys how much it means to me I don't for that big truck probably would've been a bad idea probably uninstalled but I will give her a good home riperoni let me a better gonna greet some Indian food and just chill once you know they get a shifting fast with Hermia oh I don't know why the the shifting like something weird is going on it shouldn't affect us for drifting but I'll probably figure that tomorrow or something it's a beard it's like it blows up and doesn't want to go into gear maybe the whole entire everything is twisting and it's it's preventing it I don't know we'll figure it out it's a CD in CDs usually like being shifted a higher Pia so stay tuned primal figured out tomorrow but the next day thank you guys for watching\n"
