It’s been quite rainy this past weekend. So I was able to experience the steel M Performance pedal covers in the wet. And I can report that they’re not slippery even with wet shoes. They still grip quite nicely. No degradation in grip from the standard all-rubber pedal covers.

Yes and no. Physically yes, bolts right in. That being said, airbags, seat heaters, and passenger controls (are reversed) all do not work properly.

Eurowerkss has come out with a retrofit kit that rewires and reprograms the seat control modules and seat belt restraints to work in the F8x cars. I will be ordering my kit in the next week or so.

Took her for my annual Super Bowl drive. When it seems like literally every person in the USA is watching a sports ball game in early Feb, it’s been my tradition to go for a drive. Today I chose a nearby road along a local reservoir.

What a great road! Why oh why hadn’t I gotten out there sooner!? It’s a pretty tight road — I spent most of the time in second gear with some peaks up into third. One uphill turn was so tight that I had to go down to first. And since it was my first time on this route, I didn’t push too hard. Even so: what a blast!

Due to the ball game, there wasn’t much traffic on the road. There were a couple 911s and a couple C7 Corvettes out there and me in the M2. That’s it.

Looks like a ridiculous road, but go Birds.

Rainy and wet out, soo traction is not existent currently. Can’t really measure differences quite yet.

I was having issues with the ftp coming apart past 25psi occasionally; put tbolt clamps to prevent it, but would still happen. This one is built differently(the silicone coupler isn’t stepped) so im hoping it fixes that issue.

Appreciate the info, very good to know of a potential issue! I’ll have to keep an eye on it, not gonna bite the bullet on a new pipe just yet, but it’ll be factored in just in case. I’m also doing a TurboSmart upgrade, hopefully that’ll all play nice together.

PDXLBB · 02-13-2025, 06:56 PM

Installed a dash cam! Looks very oem+.

Interesting! Looks like a nice install.

I was under the impression that the N55B30T0 engine in our M2’s doesn’t really have much blow-by (at stock boost levels). So I’ll be very interested to learn how much collects in your catch can over time. Let us know!
