Its been awhile since I've updated this thread...

I recently added KW V2, M3 front and rear arms, M3 strut bar, upgraded inline fuel pump... Car has really transformed and feels tighter, turn in is way better...

Today I went to the dyno with a fellow member... I got e85 happy and should've listened to him when he said not to use all the e85 I had brought haha End result? HPFP was dropping pressure...

At the end it put down decent numbers for a stock turbo.

^ +1 on photos.

Was there a procedure they did to make sure the cuts were sealed? I think I'll need to cut mine this summer but I'm afraid of accelerated rusting!

I'll try to snap some pictures... If you look at the first page you'll see the "process" of cutting the fender/quarter panel lip.

I live in Los Angeles... hardly rains here and the exposed metal is 1mm not must rust that could happen on my car. But if you live in or drive in snow etc you'll want to paint the exposed metal.

Why did the hpfp drop pressure? Was your mix around 85% ethanol? Or do you have a tired hpfp? Just curious as I keep reading many posts of the hpfp dropping pressure, but this has never been the case with me for up to 82% ethanol with over 6k miles driven on straight e85 alone. Are you running the 255 inline?

Not sure why the hpfp dropped... My mix was near 100% e85. My car has 40k miles so don't think it's a tired pump. Yes I have 255 lpfp. I am running a old bms flash, not sure if that makes any difference...

Thanks for the reply, I think the only difference between our set ups are our tunes and fuel pumps, I'm running the 455 in line but I'm not sure that makes too much of a difference, regardless those are some great numbers you put down, I bet it pulls like a monster. What size tires do you run in the rear at the moment?

There is a local 335 with same setup as mine, he has a newer bms flash and can run 100% e85. He does make ~10whp/wtq more.

haha yes the car pulls hard, I surprised a e92 M3 with a supposed AA stage 3 blower.

I run 265 PSS with 12mm spacers.

This weekend I got some coding done, removed some of the annoying chimes and disabled the amber corner light...

I also got a light weight battery installed Anything compared to the factory battery is light weight... M3 CSL battery? Mini? Whatever, 20#s for $100 is good in my book.

Car looks great! Which rear diffuser is that?

Also, what is your list of performance mods now that were able to hit those numbers?

I'm mostly stock right now but am trying to put together a list of parts to buy...
