In regards to the walnut blasting, I'm glad I got it done. When I saw how black and crusty my valves were, I was surprised. When I drove back home, I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made. The car ran very smoothly. Here's some photos of the valve, but I forgot to take the picture of the after shots but there was no sign of any black carbon around the valve.

I had a great time as well. Did you go back today? If so how's the body kit looking?

Yea I did. I'm actually still here. Martin fixed up the body kit installation issues that was done poorly with the guys who installed it. And figured out what was making the clank sound from the rear. Been a busy day.

thanks justin for setting this up. and damn steve, yours was worse then i thought.

as for anyone else on the fence of doing a valve cleaning, just do it. it is worth every single penny. after 72K miles, i can say that it makes a very big difference in terms of driveability and power. the engine feels great and i am so glad that I had done this.

and a special thanks to martin and the crew at MNC Performance. they are very knowledgeable, and they take their work very seriously. its been a while since i've seen such a thorough and professional work done on my vehicle. i will not hesitate for a moment of taking my car back to MNC for any of my car needs.

No Problem Daniel! I'm glad you and Steve and the rest of the guys came out. I enjoyed getting my car done and it's always a blast. This weekend is my suspension can't wait! I'm really happy you guys had the same experience as I first did when I met Martin and everyone at MNC Performance!

rob1024 · 08-12-2013, 09:13 PM

I am totally happy too with the job they did on my car
They paid attention to the details and kept my engine bay in the same cond it came in. Will go back to them to do my DP
Martin is the man that knows all about BMW perf stuff. And that's what I expect from a BMW shop that takes pride in their work. All while not breaking your bank account Great prices and service.
Overall the car runs much better and it has better response and HP
Great job !!!

Glad you guys had a good experience with them. I'm sure you saw it but my car is there at the moment and staying there while i'm away until the 24th. Dropped it off last Wednesday. I've been having issues with o2 codes and the car not making the power it should, and nobody has been able to figure it out. Not Autocouture, or the shop that sponsors me. I figured given what i've heard about MNC, the time i'm leaving the car there, and my 30 minute conversation with Martin at a meet I think they might finally be able to get it running right. They're also going to install a meth kit while it's there and dyno I believe

Was yours the one with VRSF exhaust? If so I loved it man and definitely worth it, Martin knows what he is doing beyond belief... I trust them with everything, he never goes crazy with pricing and is always beyond reasonable... A great guy all around... I've never seen a shop do a coilover install with m3 control arms and an alignment for $425... at least not with the quality of work and trust I have at MNC... Plus they're all cool guys, will answer any questions and explain their work... Thumbs up all around.

Yea mine was the one with the two splitters and the VRSF exhaust. Did you see it there? I've had quite a few shops and people on forums try to help me out with my issues and so far it hasn't helped much. I think MNC might finally be able to figure it out since i've never really heard anything bed with them. Finger ares crossed so hopefully it winds up finally running well

Yea I did see it, the silver/graphite color right? You had the carbon fiber lips? If so the car looked great man. I think this will end all your shop needs, Martin never disappoints.

They've done a group buy 2 months straight doubt you'll get that many people... They usually will do $400 so talk to Alex or Martin @ MNC Performance...

so far so good at MNC. looks like I had a boost leak which explained the loss of power problem
