What did you do to your car today?

Three35Built · 11-18-2018, 03:30 PM

Finally went from stock intake to VRSF DCI. Way more recirc valve sound with turbo spool. So much I hooked up a smoke machine to make sure I didnt have any boost leaks ha. Changed out vrsf 5" IC to wagner tuning evo 1 IC.

I had 162+ miles on it and every week or two I had to get something fix. Over $300+ on every repair

so I went back to an Infiniti (2017 Q60 with only 10k miles on it)

S65Hunter · 11-18-2018, 05:24 PM

Makes sense. I drove my buddy's Q60 a few months back. It made good power and was very nice. But I'm not sure about the looks....BUT you seem happy with your purchase so that's awesome!

Ordered a set of NGK spark plugs and Bosch coil packs a few weeks ago, the new Valve Cover arrived today. Will probably start the installation this week.

GQBlue · 11-19-2018, 09:17 AM

That car is CLEAN.

NEFARIOUS · 11-19-2018, 01:22 PM

Topped off coolant and motor oil
Fixed cupholder spring, although it was jury-rigged using a roommate's bobby pin (more durable than a zip tie or paper clip IMO)... Now it pops open; no more either prying it with my fingernails or putting drinks in the passenger side cupholder!
Saw a random braid and asked the forums where it's supposed to go here (EDIT: Turns out it was an Interference Suppression Band; jury-rigged it similar to how it looked in another video)
Lubricated blower motor
Glued visor mirror housing back together until I can get an actual replacement visor (pro tip: Don't use Gorilla Glue epoxy in your bedroom, that shit be STANK!).

just picked her up this weekend.

2011 E90 335i M Sport 30k miles.

First thoughts: addictive power, rowdy RWD, great exhaust.
Mods will be PPK, maybe MPE and Combox Retrofit for now.

I went with the Q60 because I saw this pic!

Nickco43 · 11-19-2018, 10:24 PM

Today I pad slapped Akebonos on all four sides. The front brakes were just done by the PO using junks pads on some decent rotors. The rears were OEM BMW from 2015. Now my rear wheels will not get dusty and cause a lurch since the OEM pads grab harder than the aftermarket pads in the front.

I took a wire wheel and cleaned to rotors before I sprayed a zinc coating on the hubs. Hopefully they will stay looking nice.

The Combox is a pain to retrofit.

yea I thought so too but I found the bimmertech kit that includes coding. it's just a module replacement; no wiring or splicing. it's just a bit pricey for what I get.

I've ordered the tune2air 3000 for now.

unrulyteach · 11-19-2018, 11:58 PM

Washed and clayed her. She needed it

I can put together a pnp kit for $400.
