What did you do to your F3X today?

Icecph · 05-07-2021, 07:12 PM

Instead of another two sets of bumper plugs plus shipping costing almost $70
Purchased gold screws and washers to fill the license plate holes for less than 30$ (don't know why the dealership drilled so many smh)

auburnf30x · 05-07-2021, 07:55 PM

Until today, I did not realize that the exhaust tips were not meant to look like soulless black soot belchers.

So:

Edit: Took it for one drive, and...

Just another day in the life of the soot monster.

Threw the donut spare in the trunk now that the mps4s are on. For those considering the OEM 135/80/17 spare, it will fit over m sport brakes just fine (340/345). Not sure about the 370mm fronts. I'm my case there is actually more clearance up front than in the rear due to the larger rear rotors. The spare eats up the trunk space but it is what it is, I also carry a plug kit but decided to throw the donut in there anyways.

Added the coding for rear light blinkers and removed amber top blinks

How does this work when the tail lights are on?

I need this as well. Did you buy this as a kit or did you piece it together? Thx

Solidjake · 05-08-2021, 06:30 AM

Tried to change the FCABs but the first nut I tried to take off was on there real good....with no air tools I can't do the job. Fml.

Yeah it’s an N20. Didn’t swap the master cylinder, but we did perform the coding and installed braided lines. Brake pressure feel is fine.

Thats good! Definitely on my list to do, and was curious to see if any other n20 owners had to do that or not

How's it feel this far?

Honestly, performance wise it's a bit disappointing. There is basically no initial bite when braking, so I feel like pedal travel to slow down has increased. Once I do get some bite... damn thing stops on a dime! So it's a bit of a trade off.

After 100 miles driving, I have three words... HOLY BRAKE DUST!

You need to bed the brakes in. Also the dealer programming for the option will help a bit. It helped on my E82 at least. But there is no getting around the fact that the brake piston volume has increase so the pedal travel will be longer. On my E82 I opted to swap master cylinders for a larger one and it was amazing after that.

Wash and dress the black-trim pieces (non-gloss except also the grill) with mothers back-to-black

Oh no!! Well I've seen people trying to find lower dust pads so def check those out when these pads go, or just replace them now to save your self headache later if it's that bad!

So the rear lights will be solid without blinker. No change from normal. Just when blinker on the whole light blinks as seen

Cool....but also illegal though, tail lights are supposed to be solid all the time lights are on, hence dual filaments on regular bulbs where the tail lights and the turn signals are bundled together..

Icecph · 05-08-2021, 06:39 PM

Replaced the boring original center console gear trim and parking brake with alcantara and dry carbon. M performance parking brake
Alcantara and dry carbon just adds more quality to the interior..

auburnf30x · 05-08-2021, 10:15 PM

Windows tinted today. 35% sides and rear, clear film for the front. Not for looks so much as the brutal southeastern sun.

And, got a mini version for my desk at work.

Don’t have the full size version of the Z3 behind it...yet.

Fliplegend · 05-10-2021, 10:48 AM

Yearly inspection/emissions.

cdwalls · 05-10-2021, 11:09 AM

sorry, last spam picture... dig this new look.

WagonHo · 05-11-2021, 11:54 AM

Installed the painted reflectors, painted keyhole cover, and red start/stop button from IND. Color match was perfect. Dead easy to install.
