I was going to say it looks like salt marks around your gas pedal, I was surprised as most of the guys on here are down south.

Is the vent gauge plug-and-play?

I live in the northeast... we get snow/cold a couple months out of the year... though definitely not as bad as you canadian folks lol

Yea the vent was pretty easy - I got the preinstalled on in the vent... so take the old vent off, pop the new one in and connect the module it comes with into the ob2 port and tuck wires away.

Sweet yeah I was curious about where it plugs in or wires to.

OBD port is simple enough.

Do you have any other mods or work lined up this spring? Aesthetically she honestly looks "done".

Yes I was going to wait to say until I had some pics, but ill splurge lol.

I'll be throwing on bigger turbo (Pure Stage 2) around April/May time. Will be running it with the stock fuel system and tuned by BM3/PTF.

Also may change around my tire set up (wider/stickier in rears) for that beefier look. I'm going to need as much traction I can get with the new setup

love the car and love those pedals. Im thinking about buying some myself. Can you fill me in on why the install sucked? The drilling i assume?

Thanks!

Yea it just took longer then expected. It just was a pain because of the positioning of the pedals. You are on your side or upside down in the footwell the whole time and there was not much space to work with even with the seat all the way back.

I used this thread... it was helpful. http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=833321

concerning that front splitter, is there a way just to get the lip w/o additional piece that molds into the front bumper? Dont understand the point of that. Especially if you are painting to match the car

No all the m performance lips i've seen are the whole piece. They're used mostly to secure the lip. Don't think it would hold great with just a few bolts underneath the bumper without those extra side pieces that are actually glued into the bumper.

Thanks man! But sorry I'm not sure... got it locally off my buddy's M2. Think it was custom made. I know Eventuri makes a real nice one but its expensive.

Ha! I'll try too! I'm going to running stock fuel system for now. Should run nice @ 16-17 psi on 93, will possibly play with some e if fuel pump doesn't crash up top.

Don't forget pics of the turbine side bro! Also you guys are probably gonna
break chops but I ordered the Active Auto SW tune! I know Rob is gonna trip! When I mod her up we will see how she does. Will perhaps go pure stage2 late Summer. But I am enjoying your progress since your car is my favorite out of all the joints I have seen on the forums. The NE coast is lucky to have your example San! Now if I can only find those rims you have at a reasonable price.

Haha you crack me up bro!!! I'd like to see how the AA will rip and compare to some of the other tunes/tuners out there

All kidding aside, appreciate the positive words my man! Lots of work/money/time into this car... I'm passionate into what I invest my time/money into so I like everything to be as clean as possible. I'm a little more into the OEM+ look as opposed to the "over the top" look as you can probably tell. At the end of the day its a nice hobby that I like to share with other enthusiasts and glad to see our community growing a lot... especially around our area.

Here is the exhaust side:

[ceedawg]

Wow so they Clip and install a bigger turbine wheel NICE!! Yep I hope I get my $$ worth with this tune. We will see,hope there will be no buyers remorse. I wish I could find the specs on the wheels they use and center cartridge. 2500.00 large investment but I guess it is what it is!

Yeah bro I love your car just the way it is. Subtle and not over the top!

Exhaust video I made the other day.

Any thoughts on the GFB DV+ Diverter Valve? I'm very curious about this mod. Thanks
