FINALLY was able to get get a used Corsa exhaust. Was able to pick it up locally as well. Purchased from Black_Gator A++ would do business again.


Already got new matte black tips to weld onto the Corsa exhaust. It's all coming together.
Where did you get those tips from?

Finally decided to do preventative :WPC Bearings with ARP bolts @ 94,XXX mileage on my M. Shout out to Dixon Motorsports in Wixom, Michigan. Yes, I drove 3 hours from Ohio to have them take care of the Rod Bearings!! Dropped off Monday morning and just picked it up Tuesday afternoon. Very professional from the beginning to the end!!! I highly recommend anyone who needs their rod bearings done to definitely give them a call. My OEM bearings looks great due to MOI taking great pride on proper oil change every 5k intervals and also proper warm up!!! �� trust me when I say I drive my M to The limit!!! Bouncing the needle of the redline!!! Happy Motoring!!

They don't really look good for the tin/aluminum bearings from my view. Maybe you're just used to seeing the copper/lead which have a more dramatic look when worn.

TBH, I'm glad I got them done as a preventative since I'm closing in on 100k miles and next up on my list is either a ESS or Harrop kit!! hoping to upgrade by the end of next year. Still on the fence between NA or Supercharge. Decisions: Decisions!!!

well over the last 2 days when time permits I finally assembled the AMG 6 Piston Caliper project. Fit and finish came out amazing and after bleeding the brakes several times it stops quite nicely. Ill do a review on it in a bit but thought Id share.

LOVE THIS!. I am on the fence with this setup. I see you went with the bigger F8x rotors, let me ask you what model did you get the AMG 6 pots from...C63?
