What did you do to your F3X today?

_ObiJon · 04-21-2024, 04:05 PM

Spent yesterday and today washing, clay baring and ceramic coating the car and wheels. Did it wheels off, so I can ceramic coat the brake calipers too. My back hurts.

326Power stud conversion + Work Meisters + Pirelli Pzero tires + Airlift + P2M checkered floor mats. I'm so happy with how it turned out.

265s up front huh...how wide are the wheels? Spacers?(looks like it from the pic)

Did a thorough clean of the engine bay!

Looks very good for 385,000km (240,000mls)

Just need a new coolant overflow line now!

It hasn't been replaced before. That was the original KLE.

Looking good! I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but honestly just afraid I will get water somewhere that it’s not supposed to go. Any pointers?

I actually just used a damp cloth, always works well for me.

I wouldn't spray water into an engine bay personally, however I have heard that steam cleaners are also a good way to clean your engine bay.

9,5“ wheels ET35.
With 10 mm spacers I clear the coilovers (KW V3 clubsport) on the limit and with maxed camber I clear the fender without any rubbing, including the wheel house.
I’d say it maxes out tire width in the front without rolling the fenders 🙂

JayPixelF33 · 04-24-2024, 11:47 PM

Traded in my white 430 for black 440 …. There is a saying here but yeah the B58 is much better than the B46

Did obligatory day one mods
Metal pedals
Upgraded interior lights
Interior door handle protection (CF so +5hp)

tumorrow · 04-25-2024, 12:03 AM

Upgraded to the bigger brake kit with rotors from Tarox. Calipers were powder coated, still need to put the M decals on hahaha

Dagstar · 04-25-2024, 01:24 PM

After cracking it twice in the the span of 3 weeks (owned it 2+ years), I replaced my VRS style carbon fiber front lip with a somewhat similar AP Designed carbon fiber front lip, purchased from Suvneer. It sits slightly higher and is a bit more subtle. I'm really happy with it.

im_an_alien · 04-26-2024, 10:34 AM

Goodies!

lpaulodt · 04-26-2024, 04:05 PM

Fitted my Ferodo track pads, brake flush, loaded the semi slicks in the trunk for the first trackday of the season tomorrow!

disintegrator66 · 04-28-2024, 06:27 AM

Yesterday..... Fitted rear carbon fiber arch guards and gave the wheels their annual wheels-off wash and wax. Not really a fan of the rear guard's aesthetics. Maybe they'll grow on me..... If not, I'll go to Plan B: painted OEM mud flaps.
