Immediately after downpipe install.

It's not as bad once its warmed up and in the higher RPM range but it's still way too loud at 1-2K. Not sure if the sound is going to change as it settles but as of right now I'm not too sure how long I'll be able to drive like this, especially in LA

Coded with Bimmercode:

- Sport Transmission
- Legal disclaimers off (that's the annoying overlay that takes up like half of the screen when in reverse as well as the disclaimer that's show on iDrive until acknowledged or you've driven for a while - this setting alone was worth the price of admission for me)
- M Animation on start (looks a lot better than the default "Connected Drive" animation)
- Auto start stop to remember last setting
- Open doors at ignition off
- Remember heated seats setting to "unlimited"
- Shut off radio/nav when driver door open
- Door handle LEDs while in reverse
- Tire pressure to display temperature and pressure
- Fold mirrors when locking vehicle with Comfort Access

If anyone's on the fence: It's super easy to do and probably the best bang for your buck as far as mods go.

What muffler do you have on? Got a tune on it?

Says in his signature it's a muffler delete. A muffler delete + catless on that beautiful specimen is going to be super loud (obviously).

I didn't know people in SoCal installed catless downpipes, how will you pass emissions?

Ah gotcha. Can't see the signature since I'm using the app.

Since my car is on storage insurance since December and will be till the end of March, I got a battery tender for it last month on the recommendation of forum members.

Put it on charge every Sunday morning and take it off at night, the light goes to full charge in 5 hours.

Oh and that's my civic which I use as my daily, 100kms a day commute (round trip), with its built in remote start (it is -25C) here, and insane gas mileage, coupled with some nokians this car is a great daily.

Without saying too much, let's just say I won't have any trouble passing when that time comes.

I expected a considerable increase in volume going catless but I didn't expect such a massive change in sound quality. Before the downpipe the muffler delete actually sounded really clean without much drone, nothing like it does now.

Anyone have any input on whether adding an additional resonator might make a difference, or is it too far gone at this point?

I'm the same way. That's why I can't buy in parts -- just saving up to buy the whole set, reluctantly. I think it looks great, but the price of the full set is STEEP!

Ordered Bilstein B8 rear shocks

Been there...resonator won't help much. Look at MPE muffler with this setup and you'll be happy!

Added +1hp to each of my key fobs.

Couldn't stand the blank cut-out the keys have. Looked like they were missing something.

Where do you find these two settings? Is it obvious? I didn't see it in my setup and I'd like it!

46K miles and I brought it in for warranty work this morning, for oil filter housing gasket leak.

[jh_f30]

At the tire shop getting new rubber. Long overdue, despite getting new rears about 9 months/15k miles ago.

Going back to a square setup with 245/40R18 all around. I figure being able to rotate will give me some more tire life than my current average of around 8-10 months. RWD life.

I never really noticed that before. Now it bugs me :-)
Fortunately I have a few M stickers from ebay right here.
...and the extra horsepower is an added bonus

Door unlock when shutting the car off is what I need, found it here on the bimmercode website. Haven't coded yet, but now I know where to head to and try. I've heard that some cars don't have this option though:

Windows/Doors

Unlock doors automatically
Enable/disable the automatic unlock of the doors when the ignition is turned off.

Values:

Active
Not active
Available in »Front Electronic Module« FEM_01

The final three pieces to my puzzle are getting done in the next 2 weeks! I'm stoked. Getting my springs installed on the 21st! My intercooler comes in on the 23rd! And Getting my roof wrapped black on the 25th! Then it's just drive time! No more mod worries (is that a real thing lol) 2019 off to a great start here's a recent pic though

[floridaorange]

How much is the roof wrap?

[N26Ghost]

Got a carbon fiber spoiler off the member classifieds for $100 and installed it this afternoon.

I do like that CF spoiler. It seems small and unobtrusive. I like it. Got a link to where you got it?

I bought it off the member classifieds, but looking around, it appears to have been from eBay.

Oil change with the LL-04 since I am in Europe. Spark plugs are next
