Looks great. So is it safe to assume the Cp and FMIC did 15 WHP?

it's a little more complicated than that. we had to add octane booster we think because the car was pulling timing due to ambient temp being 20+deg hotter than the run w/ exhaust/intake only. without the octane booster, we saw 20whp loss in the peak.

Mode Carbon GTS style lip. Really perfect fitment. Mocking up an adjustable dibond splitter to go underneath.

The weave is great and the vents are very subtle and nice.

Sorry having problems posting photos

Putting the rims/tires on the car tomorrow. I hope they don't rub. If they do I'll swap back to 245 fronts. I'm really just doing it for looks of the meaty 285 rears, this is my commuting car so I can't tolerate any rubbing.

Tried RE71 265 on the front just yesterday again hoping they would fit without rub. No go. previously I had tried the MPSS. 255 fit fine though.

Car getting alignment today to adjust toe after installing camber plates a couple months back. Will show specs once I pick up the car.

No rubbing full lock to lock. I used my stock mpss rears 265/35r19 with the star. Had about 2000kms on them as rears and moved to front today, so maybe shoulder worn a bit? Does not look like any wear on them. The 285/265 combo sure fills the wheel wells up nicely with the bit of extra height. And side looks perfect offset now. No spacers needed.

Aust350z · 04-08-2017, 04:03 PM

I had the MG detailed

Awesome! Rub on mine is at partial lock. No rub at full lock.

Fitted a set of McGard wheel locks. The M2 comes stock with one BMW wheel lock on each wheel. Adding a non-BMW wheel lock per wheel helps preventing wheel theft by amateurs (who often have the BMW key set). However, it won't stop pros who are determined to get your wheels.

Tip 1: 5 bolts per wheel: fit the wheel locks opposite to each other, rather than right next to each other.

Tip 2: wheel lock key storage: imagine where thieves would look first to find the key and outsmart them.

Ordered a set after a friend encountered this with his M2 a few weeks ago:

Mocking up. Street and track mode, cardboard shown is track mode and street. Under ModeCarbon lip, the lip is beautiful.

Took it to the Nurburgring, and did my first sub 10min BTG lap

Such a nice day!!

I will go back in less that two weeks and will be having some coaching. Memorising the track is a bitch...
