Sweet little engine too.

To be 100% sure it works, take a few more sample tests to ensure consistency.

Finally got around to changing the halogen bulbs for LED's in the angel Eyes.

I also used the Carly dongle to crank up the brightness on the Angel Eyes

Much better than I expected.

Been thinking about this. I have older EAS LED bulbs but thinking about upgrading... Details on bulbs? Any pics?

How long did you wait to start driving normal again? I've been babying mine for the last 20 miles.

@ ASBSECU E93 Thanks for the pix! Maybe I should get me a Carly and turn up the brightness!

There really shouldn't be much of a break in. I gave it a day or two before getting near redline. That might have been around 100 miles

I feel like I need to post regarding evolve. A few pages back I recently included as part of my post that I was less than impressed with them as far as responding back to customers...

As an update to that:
When I was finally reached out to regarding my tune, about a week and a half or two later, things couldn't have gone smoother. I received all the guidance and help I could have asked for on my current tune and what needed to be done to move forward, including step by step instructions. Received the new tune and instructions within a day or two after that. I just installed it tonight so I'll wait to leave my thoughts on it until the adaptation period is over. Also am in the process of getting the DCT tune from them.

I just want to be fair to them since overall the experience wasn't terrible and was actually great once the ball got rolling.

Attaching a few recent shots since she was recently detailed for the last Supercar Saturdays this past weekend.
