I recently purchased the RPI Pulleys from Trinity Autosport. I received them on Friday. I had them installed today. One word...AMAZING! There is no question this is the other best bang for your buck (Sprint Booster being the other 
. The one thing our cars lack is torque, especially on the low end. Well, this completely changes that. The car is totally different. It pulls with such force now. I even let my mechanic drive it and he has driven my car on a few occassions (He also happens to own an M3 and know's more about BMW's than most dealerships). He too, immediately said "wow!".
So with that, thank you Trinity/Joe!! I love the new pulleys. What a difference!!!
Now for the funny part...
As I exited the shop, I was behind a slow poke. As we made a left turn at the light, I moved around him, hit the M button and took off. I had too!!!! Hahahaha!
Anyway, I started thinking about how there is normally a cop that hangs out at that corner where I turned and how I didn't bother to look this time. Well, low and behold, he was there. Sure enough, as I'm half way down the block, I decide to look in my rear view mirror and he pulls out. I then get caught at a red light and he just pulls up behind me, but doesn't turn his lights on. I look in my mirror and see him pointing for me to pull over. I wave and kindly oblige. Hahahaha!
He comes up to the window, asks me if I'm in a hurry (which I was...had to pick up the wife at her office tonight). He then proceeds to tell me my tint level is questionable, my insurance card has expired and I have no front plate. So let's see... That would be:
1) Wreckless Driving
2) No Insurance
3) Tint
4) No Front Plate
Wow dude I thought i was reklesss easy Tonto
LOL!!!!
He finally returns, hands me my stuff back, tells me to fax in my latest insurance card and hands me a ticket for my front plate. No moving violation ticket and no tint ticket. Ah yeah baby!
And that's the story of the day!

That's lucky, C. You could've gotten a whole line of tickets! hehehe But yeah, cops tend to go easier on ya older folks (oops, me being mid-thirties counts as older too!) but college-age kids would have definitely ended with all the tickets plus a search of the vehicle for contraband!

LOL!!! Calton, what is this your 3rd or 4th brush with law enforcement since you've gotten your car??? Did you factor in potential $$$ for fines and/or a good lawyer to fight tickets?
