What did you do for your M3 today?

[Lavatoad]

Nice! Did you have the fronts machined?

For the fronts, I jumped on the freaky parts/megane deal a few years ago. No need to machine fronts with that setup.

For the rears, I didn't have any issues at all with the rally road brackets. They provided shims, if needed. but everything lined up properly for me without any extra shims.

Finished up the tow hitch install

Pulled some seat heats from a junk yard car, looks like someone pissed themselves on the driver's bottom portion.

Might be prudent to just put some new e39 heats in my Nogaros..

Installed a Supersprint Sport muffler. I really hope the drone is tolerable.

Nice, I may have to give one of those a try someday, with my setup I could use a bit more volume I feel like sometimes.

Wanna buy the Race muffler? 🤔

Also, those seat heaters fucking vile. 🤢

I might be interested, unfortunately I've spent more $ than I cared to lately on seats and stocking up on parts, like a $500 fuel pump, fun stuff there..

I'll contribute the first few bucks to you "heat seaters" GoFundMe

So what are your other sections and how's the sound/drone now?

SSV1 headers, SSV1 catted sec 1, SS dual resonated 2.5” sec 2.

Honestly, the SSV1 setup has really muted the exhaust. Race vs Sport…the tone is similar. Obviously the Sport is a bit quieter but still puts out a nice amount of volume. Drone is significantly less and seems a lot more tolerable, but my measure of that usually happens when I drive between Houston and Austin (will find out on Wed). I still think the best sounding setup I had on my car was AP headers, stock midpipes, and SS Race.

Part 10 of buying things I don't need for no other reason than I want to have them.




Got these for super cheap because of the dent in the leather on the top right which I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get out with some heat anyway. The leather isn't damaged at all just stretched from something pressing into it from improper storage although I have yet to inspect in person.

Did 3 baseline pulls before doing karb csl intake, SS stepped headers, resonated sec1, and resonated sec 2. Keeping the muffler stock so I can decide what sound I want after hearing how it changes with the mods.

I must say getting the car into dyno mode was weird. I think the trick was to get 3rd gear upto almost 6k RPM and then shit the car off whit the wheels spinning. Turn the car back on and then do the pull, very weird. Also the car was gaining power as it was getting warmer so there may have been more to be had. Too cold in Des Moines today

Before and after:



Still can't get the strut bar on because it's 1 piece and it'll take some juggling to keep my camber plates from falling apart while everything is unbolted lol

Cleaned all the wheel speed sensors after getting the Hand Brake/DSC/ABS light combo. Also swapped out the failed oil level sensor while doing the annual oil change. New level sensor made it less than one year; original lasted 19 years lol. Will be returned to FCP as failed/defective. Did a good look at everything under the car, checked all FCABs, RTABs, diff seals, etc etc.

Also first time getting the M on the Quickjack. Now successfully used on all three of the vehicles.

Who did the tuning? You should post this in the dyno thread.
