Damn I really gotta get on the dyno once my downpipe comes in.

I'm basically the B48 equivalent of your performance mod set-up. Wonder how close the numbers will be

Steering wheel wrap purchased from AliExpress installed by
Raleigh Tops and Interior. I'm in love!

Love the photo two posts back. Did you just remove the front whiskers and leave the clips and everything as is? I was debating the look and ended up painting the whiskers black.

Thanks! Yea I took them off and then a few months later I hit some debris on the interstate that cut one of the clips clean off on the passenger side. So it's flush on one side and the mount on the driver side is still there

Somewhat late to read this thread ... but what a great car with a well chosen mod list. VMR wheels look fantastic.

Thank you sir!

Removed the intake cover. Gotta show off that pretty piping

Clocked a new 0-60 time. These are getting suspiciously fast

I got 4.3 once going on a steep downhill. I'm sure you can get it as low as you want with a tailwind and a serious hill. Either way, none of that matters, because the only times that do matter (as much as 0-60 can matter) are the ones with true conditions i.e. flat, no winds. Go to a drag strip and you'll get nearly the same time every time. I think it's safe to assume gravity played a big part in this one

You're probably right. I was on a slight downhill onramp

This was on flat ground, STG.

Impressive. Is the P3 going off the wheel speed sensor in the car or GPS?

It is wheel speed. So not 100% accurate I'm sure.

I installed replica F80 M3 paddle shifters tonight. It took me 3 hours to get the airbag off.

Very happy with the build quality and how they look!

Had the resonator deleted today at Henry's Muffler! Sounds great.

idontsave · 02-09-2019, 11:44 AM

Coming along very nicely!

RMachuca3d · 02-14-2019, 02:02 AM

You got some pretty serious camber wear on the rears there :P.
