Some pics after a fresh wash
Had a fresh wash finally. I definitely need to get a good detail and ceramic coating.
Enjoy!

Finished, no. But the Lion's share is done. LSD, custom metal hot side charge pipe, heat wrapped intake box, and custom exhaust are on the list, the latter happening next month. LSD may have to wait to next year.
Who knows. Maybe turbo upgrade in the future, after I finish my e70 map with Dimitri.

Update: Exhaust Done
Another update.
As mentioned earlier, I went with a custom quad tip exhaust. To make it fit right in the diffuser we went with a muffler delete. It sounded great WOT but was too much as a daily driver, and the drone was just plain stupid. It was so loud that the floor in the cabin would vibrate. I also felt like I lost a ton of low end torque. About a week or so later we added Magnaflow straight through mufflers. This helped to reduce the overall noise to near stock levels, but I had some bad drone around 2k. I felt like some tq did come back with the added back pressure. After a week or so I missed the aggression in the muffler delete. The sound had very deep, low pitched rumbles but not the high tone pops. At speed the exhaust tone would disappear. We decided to swap the stock mid cats for for Vibrant bottle style resonators. The results. Its actually even quieter. Good thing is the drone is completely gone. I have some rumbles, and better pops. At 4k is when the sound really comes in. So far I like it. I hope the lack of cats will help break down the muffler and resonator packing just a bit. I would like it a hair loud / more aggressive. I'm still waiting for the car to adjust before I comment on power gains, tq loss. Muffler delete video Some videos of the new set up. AR catless dp, Vibrant resonators, Magnaflow straight though mufflers, custom quad tips.

LC818 you can find at Wheeldude. They were good wheels, lighter than stock and great value for the price. I'm sorry I don't remember the fitment.

As a general rule of thumb, brake pads and tires are far more important than big brake kits. They determine a large part of how your brakes feel as well as your stopping distance. |
