Go two pipe mod and test pipes. glorious

Recommend a specific test pipe?

All test pipes are the same. It's just the clamps they offer are different. Rogue Engineering does offer a resonated test pipe which I haven't seen anyone else do.

I have ACM that I picked up locally.

They were bored and asked if they could help me clean the car. Always glad to oblige.

ItsGary · 07-25-2019, 12:11 PM

Washed it yesterday, then got gas and parked it in the garage.

Grip Addict Do you have your CTEK comfort connect hooked up directly to the battery or do you use the jump points under the hood?

Jump points in the front.

I had a CTEK comfort connect, but I sold it because with the Star Trek-Borg apparatus on our batteries I didn't want to put something on it to fudge it up.

I tend to stay away from electronic stuff. Personal pet peeve. Even charging the battery weirds me out, but I deal with it.

I have mine connected directly to the battery, idk if I should remove it.

Maybe others can chime in if they use CTEK also

I just had some battery issues in my wifes hybrid. The battery for the start/stop decided to leak acid.

I saw that video it was in my Sub Feed, usually with hybrids you're not supposed to use the ground on the battery but rather the chassis. At least with my dads Toyota Highlander the manual says to use the chassis.

This is my daily driven setup, only drive ~15 miles to work so no big deal. Genuine M235i race wheels 18x10 et24 all around, slicks were included with the buy so haven't bothered to swap them out. Saved 40 lbs all around compared to stock style 220 wheels.

That sounds really good!

SoCalRPM · 07-25-2019, 03:23 PM

I took the car out to meet the wife for lunch and (of course) got caught in an un-forecasted rain shower.

Luckily it was a quick one and I was able to hit redline a few times on the highway afterwards to air dry it off and avoid any water spotting

Grip Addict · 07-25-2019, 03:53 PM

Drove out to get stuff for dinner and fill up the gas tank.

wyatth · 07-25-2019, 04:33 PM

Added half a liter of fluid to the DCT box via the GTS fill method. I tried this before but couldn't get enough tilt on the Quick Jacks.
I also adjusted the Dinan end links a bit to address some minor rubbing on the tie rods.
Drove it through a touchless laser wash on the way home.

AC/DC · 07-25-2019, 05:03 PM

So I ordered Technocraft's carbon fiber transition pipe and ram air scoop from Vivid Racing a month ago. I bought this to go with the upcoming Karbonius air box and intake that I am on a group buy for. I patiently waited for this and it finally came in today and I did the install. Unfortunately the fit was terrible. A large gap as you can see with the ram air scoop and I can't shut the hood! Working to try to resolve the issue but it's disappointing especially considering the cost. Also, not a fan of the Password JDM logo, which is the owner of Technocraft. We shall see where this goes. Only real advantage I saw today other than engine bling was the transition pipe weighs less and of course the ram air scoops would help gather more fresh air.

Damn, that sucks to hear. I was considering these pieces to go along with my Karbonius as well. If they are owned by Password JDM, i will pass. I had alotta issues with their QC back when i owned a tuner shop.

Yeah, I wouldn't advise the scoops. The transition pipe seems to be fine.

leemik · 07-25-2019, 05:42 PM

Wow it actually says Passwordjdm on it now? It used to say Technocraft.. The clearcoat finish was horrible on all the pieces I own from them... Luckily one of my best friends owns a body shop so they refinished everything and tinted it darker.

Yeah, I prefer that logo much better than Japanese letters and PASSWORD JDM. At worst, just omit the logo. I'm okay with that. In the end, the fitment is the issue. I can't even shut the hood!

Looks great. Could you provide a picture of the full fitment of it?

Did you do the whole "rev to 2k RPM for 1 minute deal" or no?
