Livfast335's F30 Journal (July 2 2015 update)

Livfast335 · 02-28-2015, 10:56 PM

Hey guys!

I wanted to start a journal as I will be keeping this car, and I want to start modding. I wanted to be able to follow my progress, especially as spring is arriving and I can finally begin.

Here's a picture when I first bought her, and waxed her.

Purchased Mods:

-M Performance Matte Black Kidney Grills (Installed 3/15/2015)
-Painted Estoril Blue Front Reflectors (Installed 3/15/2015)
-Avant Garde M310 matte black (Installed 4/2/2015)
-Michelin Pilot Super Sport (255/35/19 & 225/40/19) (Installed 4/2/2015)
-Fender M Badges (Installed 5/1/2015)
-M Performance Side Decals (Installed 5/1/2015)
-JB Stage 1 (Installed 5/17/2015)
-Black Chrome Tailpipes (Installed 5/17/2015)

February 28 2015

De-badged:

I decided to remove everything, make a clean look.

Golf Tee Mod:

I removed the clip from the left side pipe today, sound is really awesome, in all modes. Here's a nice exhaust clip.

Lovely car! Can't wait to see all the things you do to it

tboooe · 03-01-2015, 12:57 AM

Subscribed! Given your golf tee and air box mod I can tell this will be a fun thread!

Anderw · 03-01-2015, 01:24 AM

Yeah, its a little silly, but it actually works, and I can hear it. I will order the k&n this week and install and post another video.

Good stuff, happy modding!

Yup

fscuderia23 · 07-03-2015, 02:25 AM

getting better and better! excited to see what you do next

btw was that k&n just a drop in filter? if so, did it really alter the sound? Looking for a little more intake noise but I dont want to put in a completely new intake haha

Yeah just a drop in filter, and swiss cheese the box. There's no point to spend $300 for a pipe.... I have so much air coming in, I got a CEL once.... But the noise is nice.

The other option you can do, is just swiss cheese the box, and keep stock filter.
Then if you want more sound, get the K&N. That's what I did.
