What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Exclusivs · 07-29-2018, 08:34 PM

Washed engine bay / Bonnet area

Forgot how well it cleans up

turbo_joe · 07-31-2018, 07:22 AM

Got around to installing my new radiator, the project was way easier than I expected. The Koyo Radiator fit perfect, gonna test out its cooling abilities on Sunday at autocross.

And it kind of sucks that you can't even see it once installed

You get a good bit more intake noise but my exhaust isn't exactly quiet so its hard to hear it. Plus I have no back seat which makes everything even louder inside the car.

Thanks for that. Is it the same quality of intake noise, just louder?

Can you describe the process, high pressure hose or by hand?

I even used the betalink solvent that came with the kit and only minimally improved it. The tape was Scotch heavy duty, and adhered to the spoiler like a mofo but not the car due to surface. Took me half an hour to get it off the spoiler. Anyway the betalink was great and it's a flawless install now. It was a learning process I suppose.

For what it's worth.....I had the same stubborn factory tape layer when I did mine and was able to get it all off with Eastwood's "PRE" Paint prep, soaking it then scraping it off with the black plastic scraper that came with the betalink kit.

Did 100 wet shots of nitrous.

PAM3Guy · 08-03-2018, 11:11 AM

Replaced left side felt undertray. Was pretty straightforward and easy. Splash shield is now much tighter and doesn't pop out beyond the fender edge anymore.

I need to do this, clipped some plastic body pieces left in the freeway and tore mine up.

strokemycocktus · 08-03-2018, 12:19 PM

Replaced the idle control valve and finally I can appreciate silent idle

This calls for a throttle body shot of course.
