Bear Creek Road behind Orinda/Briones in the East Bay. There can be cyclists and there are some (avoidable) rough patches but overall it doesn’t get any better this close by for me. It’s been my backyard stomping ground for a bit now, but you've got some other goodies nearby as well.

GTS DCT changes up the whole gear box Sharper shifts and everything.

EURO MDM allows your car to slide even more before traction kicks in.

Perfect! Except for that one guy... was that an Explorer nosed in there? Probably got out of their car and yelled at you all for backing in.

Change it you fool.

I ended up with the motomaster ultra AGM. Better warranty than OEM and cheaper. Dont buy full price at Cantire of course.

I don't know if its my battery but I've been having electrical issues since I got the recall done at the dealership. I'm gonna check the ground wire underneath to be sure its not corroding like that other guy who posted.

I don't have any CT connections sadly. Costco it would cost $270 for a Duracell H8 AGM 900CCA and 95aH from what I recall

wyatth · 07-19-2019, 10:40 PM

^ That’s my plan as well. Looked to match OE specs and save 8-10lb. I’m not willing to skimp on battery power and this looked like the best for an AGM in that regard.

Finally scheduled my MFactory Carbon Fiber driveshaft and solid rear subframe bushings installation at MRF Engineering, here is pic of the new lighter weight design of the bushings.

I've had the car for 2 months now, and never used mdm. have dsc turn off by default when I press the m button. I guessing it's limited slip and allows you to just floor it on corners.

wyatth · 07-20-2019, 09:26 AM

I’m not a pro so I leave it on, but normal MDM was very intrusive.
GTS flash is such an improvement.

AkoSiJoey · 07-20-2019, 09:44 AM

Rooftop photo shoot.

m3jala · 07-20-2019, 10:47 AM

Went for a run. It was too hot so took some pictures of my second wife. Dat stance tho.

And you went euro mdm as I recall. MUCH better.

Sourced an OEM exhaust from a local forum member and started modding it today. Titanium wrap will hopefully be here this afternoon, but who knows with snail mail.

Couple days ago, but photo bombed the annual Mustang event since it was the only way to get my M3stang into the photos.
