I just ordered the H&R sport cup kit (with the supersport springs = moar low) and should hopefully be mounting my tires on my style 264's tomorrow at work. now only if the weather would cooperate.

Do you work at a local shop?

Yea sucks but at the same time gotta keep the women happy too lol

My carbon fiber grill came today. Can't wait to install that. Actually might have to wait, my back is KILLING today.

Can't get rid of the chrome fast enough though.

boostaddict305 · 03-31-2014, 08:33 PM

I test drove a 235 today I wish the sound that made was real real nice growl

Got the chrome grills off and the carbon ones on. Perfect.

darkrom · 04-01-2014, 03:31 PM

Just checked my navi. 2009 premium maps. In the process of upgrading to 2014 latest maps. It'll cost me $50 total. Probably could have done it for free if it wasn't for those damn FSC codes. If I had a $$$$ cable I could do it for free that way too. Its worth $50 to get the code instead of buying the cable. Convenience fee.

Where's the plug for the exhaust flap trying to do the golf tee mod

darkrom · 04-01-2014, 04:52 PM

I didn't do it under the car, I did it in the trunk, but I ended up plugging it back in, and leaving the flap open 24/7 through software with the JB4

But to do it in the trunk was pretty simple. I'll find you the guide with pics of the cable. You need to pull down on the trunk liner pretty hard, it'll put up a fight, but it'll still flex back when its done.

There it is. Its the only connector that looks anything like that. Its right over the rear driver wheel basically.

boostaddict305 · 04-01-2014, 04:53 PM

I looked in there but couldn't see it I guess I didn't look hard enough lol
Thanks for the link I ll give it another shit tomorrow

darkrom · 04-01-2014, 05:02 PM

A shit a day is a good idea!

boostaddict305 · 04-01-2014, 05:04 PM

Lol damn autocorrect meant to say shot

NWillard77 · 04-01-2014, 09:07 PM

Hahaha. So who has installed suspension on a 1? Ive done plenty of other platforms just new to bmw. My cup kit came in today! May give it a go sunday.

darkrom · 04-02-2014, 07:20 AM

The one mod I never did to any car was a suspension. Can't justify it in New England lol. Scary enough at stock height.

Watch this video from ECS Tuning as a reference.

Its not really scary if you are careful and watch the road for dips/debris/potholes. I dont slam it like some people but i do like to eliminate fender gap.

darkrom · 04-04-2014, 10:32 AM

Maybe someday, but IMO the Msport suspension is pretty damn low haha.

I'm far more interested in throwing an LSD on the car than going any lower. With the JB4 and the traction control OFF off, its EASY to see how someone could stuff this car haha. DO NOT WANT.

darkrom · 04-05-2014, 02:45 PM

Just upped the voltage of the OEM angel eyes. So much nicer. Then I got home and upped them to the max I can wirelessly. Thrilled with the results.

Same here

darkrom · 04-05-2014, 05:22 PM

BMWhat app for ANDROID. The iphone app is far more limited with coding.

I'll do this stuff for you guys, its easy enough that I don't mind. I do it with that app and an ELM BT adapter. I'll have to get some pics. The app is $58 and IMO well worth it, but again, I don't mind changing these options. Its not as much coding as NCSexpert allows, but the convenience is great. I can also turn off the voltage check for any of you guys who are running aftermarket halos, but I love the stock ones with high voltage myself.
