I had similar wear with 97,274 KM

Will do, I'll take pictures along the way, everything from disassembling the front end of the car to reassembling

I'm saying compared to an untouched OEM system, from the Fatherland, lol. The Megan Racing is definitely louder but it just amplifies all aspects, the bass, the rev matching while downshifting while not being just tinny/raspy or all bass. It does have more range and details in the sound you hear through the rev range.

3 hours after free car wash from Mother Nature and ceramic coating is still sparkling!!! Loving it!!

rochoa21 · 09-12-2018, 07:50 PM

Washed the car

lancerr · 09-13-2018, 01:27 AM

Got her back from the shop - lots of small things that add up
Color matched roundels on wheels, hood, trunk and steering wheel
Added Spacers (15mm F, 12mm B)
Changed welcome entry door light (///M)
Installed rear diffuser

Next up
Diffuser length exhaust tips - right now they are sticking too far under diffuser

are your wheels powder coated? if so, what color matt black or gloss black? or are they the GTS edition wheels? I have a set of ZCP wheels that are Gunmetal, was debating on either purchasing GTS or getting them coated. Thanks

I was having the same thought but ended up buying the GTS wheels. Going to ceramic coat them next.

installed another gts lip and threw on some M359’s with some meat.

Jacked up all 4 corners and took off the wheels, in the process of cleaning, and applying chemical guys polish to them, and tomorrow putting a coat of Jet seal on the wheels.

After RB’s are done. Are we good for another 50-100k miles or for the lifetime of the car?

ItsGary · 09-15-2018, 12:03 AM

Just got the headlights out. I know I said I would take pictures of everything but being by myself it becomes a bit hard to stop every 2 minutes to take pictures

No one really knows the answer to this question. There's really no proof of anything. It's kind of like the Oem bearings, we know they might fail, we just don't know when or if they ever will if not changed. I honestly don't think we'll ever know this answer because of all the variables.

Dubuang · 09-15-2018, 04:02 PM

Got these CF mirror covers on today, looks great!

Sorry I couldn't make it to the Tacoma meet

I was expecting to have the lights done by now but so many delays.
If you guys want to setup your own meet sometime soon definitely hit me up. Especially before it starts raining constantly.

XKxRome0ox · 09-16-2018, 06:05 PM

mostly empty parking garage means gotta take a few photos

my shifter feels VERY notchy getting into 5th and 6th gear
wondering if a transmission fluid change will help with that

E92_TYLER · 09-17-2018, 02:08 PM

Got a full detail and took her out on riverside !

MaximusB · 09-17-2018, 02:42 PM

Went for a 600km cruise yesterday with a few buddies of mine. We did what we call the “loop” run, which consists of sky-to-sea up whistler, all the way north through mountain passes to a small town call Lillooet for lunch and photos. There is a highway that connects lillooet with southeastern BC back to Vancouver, completing the “loop”.

With the pacific coast weather we drove through a rain storm, light drizzle, sunny breaks, near freezing temperature up in the mountains and etc. The M3 is such a blast to drive through mountain roads with all the corners and hairpins.

What I learned... power means nothing, handling and grip is everything lol. My back end kept wanting to come out around slippery corners. I ended up leaving traction control on for most of the way. The light flashed a few times here and there when I tried gunning it coming out of corners. While my friend’s S3 felt like it was on rails and pulls away. He managed to hit 220km a few times on uneven mountain roads, that car just hugs the road!
