What did you do to your M2 today?

CamaRai · 11-25-2022, 08:57 PM

Today I ordered stud conversion kit and 12mm spacers, ER catted downpipe, turbo, boost, and charge pipe, BOV (TurboSmart), and panel filter.

yep haha ! I saved a lot and was patiently waiting for the deals to arise. I know I'm going to add those mods eventually so I decided to not wait and take advantage of all of the deals available

Hmm. That is one thing I would never do.

First Winter project. Cleaned out the gunk hiding behind my tail lights.

Next up is to remove and clean all my fender liners.

Al Bundy's Dodge · 11-27-2022, 03:58 PM

I thought I was done for the day until I saw the previous post. I can only imagine what Ive got hiding in there lol.

Anyway, did a little surface cleaning today, which also included cleaning out some gunk

Legend. Dropping my car off at the detail shop next week. Will be requesting this specifically.

Also got a wash in today with a focus of removing the rubber marks from the last track weekend so I can go put more on in two weeks at the December PCA event

DanG · 11-29-2022, 10:29 AM

She got a snow shower.

Take a look and tell me if you think you can get out those red reflectors through the tail lights that is my understanding but I'd love it if you can clarify it

Did your car need freeon or did you just add it as a maintenance item. It is a sealed system so does that mean there's a leak?
I have a 15 year old beater and I've never added freeon to it.

CamaRai · 12-06-2022, 05:28 PM

Polished and ceramic coated my rims. Car pro Dlux..

Also did Apex stud concersion amd 12mm spacers.. should have done 12/10.

Also ceramic coated the calipers..

Rims were pretty bad.. not perfect, but it’ll do till I get a new set.

She wears Michelin PS4Ss all year round. Snow doesn’t stay around very long. Our Mazda CX-5 goes out in the snow.

Just so you're aware that driving in anything below 42° will change the microstructure of the tire irreparably so they will never have the same level of grip as they did when new.

Temperature in the winter is normally in the 40s during the day. In freezing temperatures the car usually sits. I have never had problems with tires cracking due to cold temperature.

The CX-5s tires are Michelin Crossclimate II and are snow peak rated.

Oooh, I’m considering this bushing myself. Would love to hear your thoughts on it once installed. I’d be interested to hear about both change in shift feel and also any change in in-cabin NVH.

I imagine the same thing goes for the Cup2’s

vrooooom · 12-08-2022, 01:34 AM

I didn't know driving below would change the material. I know cycling between hot and cold supposedly degrades the tires of race bikes. Anyways we never get that kind of temp here.
