What I did today....waiting on the postman to deliver my new exhaust manifold studs since the other day I had 5 of them break on me while pulling the exhaust manifolds to install my headers!

I just decided to replace them all.

lemansblau135is · 06-18-2019, 02:33 PM

mounted the black rubber cargo straps in the trunk this weekend as per the DIY

My old Golf TDI had 255k. I know, not quite the same. Hoping I can get at least 200k out of my 1er as well. That should be 4-5 years at my normal rate.

Rmtt · 06-20-2019, 03:56 AM

So got this buttoned up yesterday afternoon after the head studs showed up a day late. When the sun comes up, I will finish the rest of my exhaust which includes removing the OEM resonator, and replacing everything with a new Magnaflow system which includes their resonator and muffler.

I kept the secondary cats in place. Once finished, I have my Stage 2 tune from Bob waiting to load up. Can't wait to hear how it sounds.

Just fitted tweeter covers for the a pillars combined with Eton speaker upgrade. Still had the base audio package and having tweeters now makes a big difference. These really sound great!

Achieved 110,000 miles this morning!
Clutch is slipping; SES light came on a few days back; needs an alignment since I swapped Swift out for Eibach springs. So she's got an appointment set up for next Friday.

Still waiting on parts (thanks customs) and I need to redo the vinyl on a couple panels but here's a couple pictures

Looking sharp!

Did you ever think of adding blackline taillights?

Would look nice on your car, me thinks.

I was just thinking the same thing. It would look good. And I'm actually a fan of the PRE LCI lights...

low135 · 06-20-2019, 10:01 PM

SOOOO many have said that. Yes I considered it, still might. I do think the pre LCI look better, to me at least. I love the three solid horizontal lines. The curved LED strip in the lci just never made much sense to me. But I like the dark contrast of blacklines so I'm conflicted. Wish they did a pre LCI blackline set

I agree. I meant PRE LCI. I do wish they made a black line version of them. I prefer the 3 line tubes.

I do vote you get rid of the left side antennae. It looks unicornish.

Love the color.

Is there really a bump in the bumper direct center top side below plate?

Rmtt · 06-21-2019, 05:01 AM

After headers, I finished my exhaust. Today I download my new tune, and see how the new Magnaflow sounds with the headers. PO had done a muffler delete, so I knew it would be too loud....hence the new setup.

Tips are huge!

That side antenna and sharkfin on the trunk are absolutely going to be addressed. I hate them lol my thoughts were either a euro E88 trunk that came without the sharkfin or modifying a carbon duckbill trunk for the E82 to fit. Side antenna is going to be shaved. This is likely all with the next full makeover that will be a repaint of the whole car. I'm currently torturing myself over the long list of Individual colors to choose one

Not sure honestly. I have to figure that out because it drives me insane. I thought it was the clip that was broken there but that's not the case. I'm determined to figure it out lol

I can understand that. I like the pre-LCI taillights as well but eventually I fell in love with the blackline look and purchased a pair in 2014. They're a subtle difference but I find them beautiful and am happy I got them. Nice we have choices.

With how cheap the pre lci ones are now, I may pick up a set and see what can be done with cracking them open and darkening the housing or something. I'll make my own damn blacklines

Boost3d_1M · 06-21-2019, 07:50 AM

Installed a new custom steering I had re-done in Alcantara and leather, with orange stitching to match the rest of the 1M interior.

Red 'M' go fast button on the steering wheel controls and a new Red/Start stop button.

Would be interesting to see what you'd come up with. Custom pre-LCI blackline taillights, to go with your customized pre-LCI 1er. Sounds good to me.
