What did you do to your F3X today?

Mountain_Commando · 04-19-2018, 09:05 PM

Looking forward to my date with my mistress tomorrow. She'll get a nice bath, tyre shine, interior vacuum, and armorall on all surfaces.

Then hit the town to turn heads!

Nice. Looking for some decent weather here.... dropping to around freeze tonight!

Dealer confirmed what I already knew, oil filter housing is leaking. I've been sitting on the gaskets for a while. Looks like I'll be under the hood on Monday to replace gaskets and do a coolant flush.

Separate note: My last fill was 91aki. I need gas so I'll be stopping at Propel/Chevron for some corn juice tonight.

Put on my 19in AG 359M wheels wrapped in continental ExtremeContact Sports. Love the new setup. Now I need to lower it

Any plans for what tire products you'll use for getting the tires to look as well-dressed at the beautiful new wheels?

I'm a big fan of 303 Aerospace because 1. It provides UV protection and 2. It starts off glossy for a couple days, fades to satin, and then essentially rinses off because it is water based.

I've heard good things about Obssssd matte/satin tire sprays also. The matte supposedly gives a deeper black look without the shine.

Ill try the Aerospace stuff, sounds more my type then the oily ones ive dealt in the past.

For the wheels I went with C Quartz Dlux by CarPro thinking i'd just be able to spay the brake dust off but it didn't work out like that. When I had the rims bare I coated the rims in 2 coats. The stuff really likes to grip onto the brake dust.

evdok · 04-21-2018, 08:16 AM

Refitted front numberplate due to the double sided tabs come unstuck in the heat making the front sensor go berserk , I used heavy duty velcro & boy is it strong.

My 403m wheels aren't the most enjoyable to clean. IronX and/or Sonax Full Effect cut time spent down, but are pricey to use every time you wash.

Took a drive to niagara falls and I have to say dinan midpipe is the best $500(usd) I spent on the car and practically my only mod. Wasted gas like theres no tomorrow staying in low gears for those popcorns. Some people were rolling windows down to hear the exhaust lol and hilarious reaction driving around downtown sound coming from plebian 3 series.

I spent more time in the car than checking out the fall lol

The F30 I totaled was a replica of yours with the same black 400m's and color. I still miss it, so easy to clean and that silver with the black rims is just classy.

Is that Melbourne Red? Idk if it's the lighting, but it looks almost pearlescent. Btw, the tops of your side skirts need a little love.

It's Sunset Orange.

As for the dirt. Welcome to Pennsylvania. The land of the worst roads. The place where the only way to keep a clean car is to not own it.

rcaso26 · 04-22-2018, 03:55 PM

Debadged and washed this afternoon. Debadging was a huge pain it took like 45 minutes to get badges and adhesive completely off.

Yeah the process seems to be hit and miss depending on the age of the car. Your work came out very clean man love the look.

Hey these look really good. Did you pick them up from that seller on eBay out of Germany? I'm looking at the same set just in black.

Hey congrats man. Looking forward to seeing those bad boys installed - ETA on completing the work?

We need to see some photos of your ride... over the last year I think I've seen two, maybe one and a half.
