New fender for this guy

That's a bummer. Sorry to hear about that. At least it can be fixed pretty easy.

We did sort of drive a bit spirited on our route home I have to say. My car is faster since it doesn't have the navi weighing me down and therefore it stops shorter due to the 5 lb less weight.

Perhaps... but since my PPK decal adds 100 hp to the rear wheels, I think I've still got an advantage.

A bit Mushy on top. The rebound is faster till the last 10 percent which is te mush. But overall improves the feel. Next mod is cdv delete and a metal clutch arm from hpa.

Yesterday I did the $2 mod with my forge DVs. Man I was not expecting that much of a difference, you can clearly hear them now.

Today I installed DCI and shat my pants the first time I heard the turbos spooling.

IEDEI · 11-01-2014, 12:45 PM

picked up some winter wheels! 18" Gunmetal OEM 219Ms from the E9X M3.

ordered some Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 snow tires in 245/40/18.

this winter is gonna be epic!

Gray_Panther · 11-01-2014, 03:39 PM

Had a little heart to heart, it knows its going into hibernation soon...

tritonx · 11-01-2014, 09:05 PM

Winter tires, sigh, another winter incoming or as I call it, the DTC/drifting season

.

Also changed the rear brake pads after 42K kms, I could have changed the rotor too, but the old ones had very little worn. Earlier this spring I changed both the front pad and rotor(drilled ones

).
