What did you do to your F3X today?

InsanateePrawn · 12-02-2021, 08:03 AM

Loving the pics in this thread, starting to regret not getting the Diamond Grill like in the post above now...

Unfortunately, I did nothing exciting except getting ready for a Roadtrip...

Went thru all the codes in ISTA to check for gremlins, Fixed a pesky sticking fuel door release pin and did a thorough clean, still satisfying though.

Night swim!!!

Thought I would take advantage of the abnormally warm temps today in PA (~60 degrees). After work I washed off the salt from a drive to state college on Monday. They already had the roads treated up there and we did get into several periods of snow flurries that made the roads wet, my car looked closer to white than MG by the time I got home.

I really like my front lip (it's my 3rd one) for both appearance and durability, however it's far from perfect. See my post in the thread below for more details.

As for a sales a link, it's an Ikon Motorsports lip and here it is on eBay (it's also sold on Amazon)…

Thanks, ive been running Msport ebay version for a while but its kindof beat even though i am stock Msport ride height. I like varis style, which i have considered, but am not necessarily in a rush to drop $200+ on something that i consider a wear item lol. Thanks for the ebay link though i couldnt find the ebay versions.

Agreed, the Varis look is my favorite of the front lip styles as well. I'm not sure if you meant you couldn't find this lip on Amazon, if so below is a link…

I have to admit I prefer the traditional vertical slats…however I really like that second shot with the wrapped v-brace showing through. With that style insert the wrapped v-brace is a lot more subtle, looks really good.

Been doing a lot life wise and haven't given my car any love in a month or two. Finally got to wash it and put some spray on hybrid sealant on the paint. So satisfying.

MSCD · 12-04-2021, 04:44 PM

Washed my wife's (and sons learner) car. It's 11 years old this week and we had exterior contractors creating dust.

beamerboy672 · 12-04-2021, 09:30 PM

Took it to my favorite car wash spot on San Diego: la Jolla pearl hand wash

UtahF36GC · 12-04-2021, 11:46 PM

Well done fellow Utah enthusiast!

Time for some maintenance as I'm crawling towards 65,000 Mile mark.

Nice one, I need to do tranny as well!

roadracer516 · 12-05-2021, 04:17 PM

Swapped out summer wheels with winter wheels on wife's Sady, installed snow plow on the mower. Set for snow.....none yet this year......weird!

mgeller · 12-05-2021, 09:33 PM

New thrust arms with VAC monoballs (: out of all the upgrades; this has to be my favorite.

Install was a PITA on the passenger side without power tools and those red cables in the way of the bolt. I don't think I've seen them mentioned in any of the DIY's.

F80 lower control arms still in the mail

amancuso · 12-10-2021, 05:17 AM

In preparation for a 1400 mile trip, I upgraded the OS and added Apple Carplay to my 2016 428iX. Works great!

You are quite right, the cables are a pain. A spanner with ratchet works much better then the squeeze with a wrench

jc62b · 12-10-2021, 04:09 PM

Washed Gran Coupe, put it in for MoT, passed with flying colours. Took it for a blast on motorway to celebrate.
