Thanks and just hang on, big things coming in the next few weeks!

BMW DIY Guy · 05-17-2022, 11:44 AM

Getting caught up on two recent additions, as the build sheet is updated:

BMW DIY Guy · 05-17-2022, 11:48 AM

Then one more recent change, though very simple, is absolutely worth it to me as I have scraped my new lip like 4 times with ZERO damage.

BMW DIY Guy · 06-01-2022, 10:21 AM

Ok yall, time to get serious about a very very cool project with Prestige Auto Salon! After getting a chance to tour the shop, I was deeply impressed by the quality of work from Prestige to put it mildly!

My M2C also had PPF across the nose, hood and hips but it has taken some damage, plus had a few corners starting to peel underneath. I talked with Jack of Prestige about replacing the existing film with the new improved products, and he threw out a GREAT idea! Not only do a full wrap, but the new 'stealth' wrap as well!

The stealth PPF wrap will take a normal gloss color and make it look like the OEM frozen paint, along with all of the protection of PPF. Well if we are going to do it, lets GO BIG!

I wanted to share the results, and couldn't be happier with the final results. The amount of random compliments I get everywhere, at lights, parking lots and around is amazing!

Check it out!

BMW DIY Guy · 06-08-2022, 04:44 PM

As we tune higher and higher, stage 2 and beyond, big turbos and *especially* E85, your LPFP can badly lag behind. In my case, I also want to fully support the coming HPFP upgrade, and ensure full flow coming out of the tank.

This upgrade is surprisingly easy and can be done with a few simple tools, and an hour or less! I highly recommend the Precision Raceworks pump, and am running the new stage 3 brushless now in my BMW M2 Competition.

Check it out and seriously consider doing this easy upgrade yourself!

BMW DIY Guy · 06-29-2022, 08:26 AM

ok yall, my custom steering wheel from Mashimarho is installed and is an easy DIY! Lots of cool options to have a truly custom wheel in your car!

BMW DIY Guy · 07-06-2022, 06:12 PM

Ok.. after much delay, the shifter bushing DIY is up! This one actually has been installed for quite some time but kept getting pushed down the schedule due to other material.

The change is dramatic honestly, and strongly suggest it if you want to firm up the shifting feeling in your 6MT.

Check it out!

Nice. I have this sitting on my shelf somewhere. I need to do this to see how much more rigidity to my AS ssk...

BMW DIY Guy · 08-03-2022, 04:54 PM

Ok yall, really excited to share the first in a two part easy DIY series! I wanted to customize the look of my BMW M2 Competition, plus tie in some of the existing color choices. The car is (frozen) black on black with blue stitching, so blue just makes sense!

This also goes VERY well with my custom Mashimarho steering wheel, with a blue stripe at the top!

The blackline cap set is a 0 on a scale of 10 for difficulty, and takes just a few minutes to install. There are several colors to choose from, and the blue matches the OEM stitching perfectly.

Check it out, and see how this could update your car as well!

BMW DIY Guy · 08-03-2022, 04:56 PM

The other one I forgot to share is the raw carbon fiber trim for the steering wheel, which was REALLY hard to find! I only found a single place, in Germany, that had raw carbon which matches our interior and we don't do gloss!

ninjagaiden · 08-04-2022, 12:17 AM

Very cool

BMW DIY Guy · 08-10-2022, 10:10 AM

Ok.. next one is up, with the Downstar dress bolt kit in blue, matching the Blackline caps!

BMW DIY Guy · 08-11-2022, 02:40 PM

Big stuff coming soon!

BMW DIY Guy · 08-12-2022, 10:11 AM

Just catching up with some pics...

BMW DIY Guy · 09-15-2022, 11:36 AM

I had missed updating this thread with the latest additions. The first post has been updated with latest build and tune results as well.

BMW DIY Guy · 10-19-2022, 11:04 AM

Next step in the updates.. the Dorch HPFP lift kit!

Thank you!! It's been a journey for sure.. it's all happened much faster than I could have expected too.

BMW DIY Guy · 11-23-2022, 11:27 AM

Hey yall, latest DIY and engine bay mod is up!

After I had a standard hose clamp on a charge pipe fail during a dyno pass, I knew I needed something better! After looking around I found Phase 2 Motortrend Inc. for not only superior clamps but in colors too!

This is a really easy upgrade and can tie into your overall build design as well.

Check it out!
