This morning, Fluid MotorUnion's world was rocked. It wasn't just our world, though; anybody who's visited Fatlace, Speedhunters or StanceWorks (and probably a large number of various enthusiast forums) this morning has been witness to one of the most undoubtedly ludicrous, deep-love-or-deep-hate-inducing cars to grace the series of tubes we call the internet.
It was a productive morning/afternoon at FMU today. We finally figured out most of the ins and outs of our digital video camera, so we decided to do some test videos of our own E90 M3 sedan.
There's no doubt that Volkswagen has a strong presence in the stance scene. Many corners of StanceWorks' forum are littered with varying generations of varying Volkswagens, each carrying its own unique street-sweeper stance. Heights range from near-stock to so-slammed-it's-practically-part-of-the-ground. This week, we helped a fifth generation (MkV) GTI move its way toward the latter.
There hasn't been too much static content on this website lately. For those not in the know, static refers to the lowering of a car by means of changing the springs or coilovers, as opposed to installing an airbag system (which can change its height with a switch, dynamically, hence static being the opposite). That changes today.
You might remember our earlier post on the C63 Oil Cooler (and if you don't, here's the link). After we've done some test-fitting and number-crunching, we have an update ready for you:
We here at Fluid are beginning to feel like Larry Flynt. The smut we peddle, though, is of a different variety of his. Here in Plainfield, we are incredibly proud of Craig's and Tom's metalwork, and we are not afraid to display as much of it as often as we can.
Anticipation is simultaneously one of the best and one of the worst feelings.
From what we've shown you in the past couple days, Luci's prowess is unmatched when it comes to painting. However, he has more tricks up his sleeve.
We can't divulge too much information about one of our more secretive projects, but we can offer you a sneak peek and a couple sentences on the matter.
From now on, not all the beautiful welding jobs you see will be the work of Craig. Starting yesterday with the 7-series' exhaust, some of the weld jobs are being undertaken by Craig's protege, Tom.
