Did you rebadge your 428 to a 435? If you did...that's not nice to see.....Steve...

Yes, OEM F82 trunk lid and spoiler. Although it bolts right up, it does take a bit of adjusting to get it to look acceptable. Fitment is closer to 98% than 100%

Those last pics from steve, you can see some awful gaps on the corner edges, don't know if that's just the trunk opened but I guess that's what needs to be adjusted?

Went to a (Barks & Burnouts) dog friendly car meet today and ran into a SUPER cool vender. He converts 4pt harness' into Dog harness'...even tho I lost my girl a few years back, I couldn't leave without buying one .

ronanz · 08-27-2017, 11:12 PM

Drive 4 Corners Meet...road trip from Purgatory, CO to Ouray, CO. This was a fraction of the cars in attendance...

More to come as photos/video gets released...

Thank you! Yup, I still have her...originally was going to give it to my daughter...got her something else. Was going to sell it 2 or 3 different times, just can't part with it as Ricardo @ ACF has it pretty dialed in and it makes for a decent road trip/event car.

May reconsider mid year tho...

No major updates other than Ricardo @ ACF dialed this sucker in (from Brazil!). Two pretty impressive e30-ish maps...one at 18psi and another a little more aggressive at 22-23psi. Ditched jb4 as I no longer need "boost controller". Ricardo tuned for boost by gear...all wrapped up into a bm3 sandwich...

Hell yea! That 22 psi map has to be wild.

Definitely a good time! One of these days I'll head out to "Mexico" and set up a few go pro's for a rolling 40 to "Hold the f*ck on" runs...

Nice! Are you on the stock fuel system? Or running meth/PI?

Im surprised you can get 20+ psi on that setup. Most common PS2 users can get 16-17 psi (without meth or PI) before their pump starts crashing up top.

We both were surprised! Pulled strong up until I shifted (just before red line).

If I keep her, I'll be going PI with Ricardo tuning it in...

Well then I'm glad for you!!

Any plans for another dyno session? Curious what kind of power you are putting down.

Why did you feel you could ditch the boost controller,I have been debating on whether I should get jB4 to accompany my flashtune after I upload it? See you went from Enzo to BM3 Nice!

No longer needed Jb4 as Ricardo @ ACF developed my Maps to "boost by gear". I have several Maps developed for several Octanes/Fueling at various levels of aggressiveness/boost levels (all boost by gear)

bm3 is really an incredible platform, I jumped on board at the early development stages...it wasn't a hard decision moving from Enzo to Ricardo (ACF) after learning how truly limited I actually was (VERY few tables were actually touched). Ricardo was/is on a different level...if you're going the bm3 route, there are a few quality guys under the "Tuners" tab.

I'd HIGHLY recommend spending the money on a Custom Map if you're looking to somewhat "push" your car or you're running FBO...SPECIALLY if you're running upgraded turbo...then you'll get it "dialed in"....

Thanks for the response. Sounds like your tuner did a hell of a job with BM3. I was certain that Enzo also had their tune and also worked with BM3. RWD and all that power ,yes boost by gear certainly key. I guess the safety provisions that they claim are available with JB4 were not even something you were concerned with?

I'm gonna see what goes on with the AA tune since I am far away from considering a turbo upgrade for now. But damn Brazil sure is far!!!!! Car was sent to Brazil right?
