Unboxed, inspected, and laid down the first coat of Cquartz UK 3.0 so it can cure. Really excited to get this thing on!
How will this compare to the Eventuri?

I think they're pretty similar but I've read that these are a little bit louder than the Eventuri plenum. I also personally prefer the look of this one. While I am sure the quality of the Eventuri plenum is excellent I have to say that this is far and away the highest quality carbon fiber work I've seen. That's compared to Do Luck, HKS Kansai, and many other high end makers I've owned in the past.

Here's a comparison thread:

cancelled my order for 2 rear Conti ECS (it was backordered with delivery date of June 16th) ...
because there is now a $70 rebate if ordering 4 tires
reordered a set of 4 to qualify for the rebate
might as well change them all anyway

tirerack just called me about the tire order

the guy asked if i'm running these sizes on my m3 because they are not the recommended size
245/40/18
275/35/18
i told him i'm running the same size and i have non-stock wheels

good customer service, making sure that i'm ordering the right size tires

Sure does look like that doesn't it? Looks like a lot of work but will undoubtedly be fun as hell! Awesome!

Treated my M3 with new front discs. Old ones had bad vibrations under heavy braking.

It’s been too hot out to keep looking into the “shaking under high speed braking” issue so I just put a cover on it and pretend it doesn’t exist.
