Oooo weee, I'm not just tooting your horn (both of them &#128518 but the lite tint complements the unique Mineral Gray hue so freakin' well; it's absolutely picture perfect! 😘

Plus, being a manual transmission is just the cherry on top. I hope you know that baby is a keeper for life.. 🥰

The 437M wheels are A-okay but have you ever considered experimenting with some frozen gold 763Ms to round off the package?

Thanks for the compliment I appreciate it

I really like those gold wheels but I truly love my 437M's… Such an epic wheel design

Hard to tell from the photo but I painstakingly keep them spotless

Yea, I could tell that you pamper that bad baby..

As is, in this current market, I know you could reap a cool $55,000 if you was willing to sell it but there are some things money can't replace and that combo, LCI, manual, MG color and all, is one of a kind..

Congratulations on snagging that package, at the right time. Its truly once in a generation type car and will age very gracefully. 👍🏻

Installed a catted VRSF downpipe and flashed stage 2 BM3. Wow! I can't say that the car feels excessively faster (it felt fast) but comfort mode is more alive and the entire power band feels so much smoother.

The VRSF + BM3 burbles and open valves =

Yep! I have Michelle PSS 295s, but running winters at the moment.

Also, I adjusted the power to have 15% less boost in 1st gear to aid with traction. Going to see how that goes.

Boost by gear is a complete necessity on a tuned M2

What size fronts are you running with those 295 rears ⁉️

265. Included a couple pics below on stock suspension + 10mm spacers all around.

I bought the wheels used and this was the fitment the previous owner selected, and it honestly feels really nice and stable. I don't push the car crazy hard, so my opinion may change depending on track vs road, etc.

I'm happy with the rear fitment (except that the tires look a bit like a bubble), but I really want to close the front wheel gap.

If it were my car it'd be suspension next. What an amazing difference it makes. And I say that because you can lower it, which makes it better aesthetically (to most eyes), AND the suspension is softer. Absolute WIN/WIN.

Yeah, agree. I'm a bit concerned about lowering the front too much in the area I live + front lip. However, that may soon change.

Due to the aggressive rear fitment, I do not think springs only will be an option. I was looking at MSS adjustable springs or Dinan coilovers as some good option. They seem to pop up frequently on the forums.

Sorry for the late reply, I just noticed it

Since I’m an expert now lol, I’ve done it 5 times already.
It took me around 5 hours with me trying to double check everything twice.
It was very cold on my garage that also slowed me down.
It’s a 3 hour job.
** I Disconnect only 4 wire connections ( 2 O2 sensors, Fuel rail connection and map Sensor On the charge pipe.
1 I only take out the top part of the Charge pipe
2- take out the intake bolts
3- move the intake to the side
4- remove the HPFP
5-removed the LPFP line( if you have someone to hold the intake away from your hand to get the line in And route it, it will make it so much easier
Good luck

I just fixed my boost leak

How depressing that was to deal with

Now to reassemble it and drive it before the weather turns for the worst
