its worth it to mix it yourself if you can find it locally

yeah avg price of a 5 gal drum of 100% of meth is about 55$. at a 50/50 ratio. that comes out to a total of 10 gallons for that same price.

If you can find it in bulk ... should be around $1.25/gallon.

Might want to check your local dragstrips. I usually bring a 5 gallon container along and fill up while there. It's a good excuse to go to the track at least once per year. Last year I think it was ~ $3/gallon at the track.

This is the cheapest and most convenient meth I've found at 99.9% my only concern was is everybody mixing based on volume or weight ? If weight what ratio

I use a hydrometer and mix based on density (using an IR thermometer to correct for temp variation).

Selling dealer just replaced both NOX sensors under warranty. I don't think they were that happy about it, dealer cost on those sensors totals about $1,050.

[ASBSECU E93]

Ordered many parts for the D....

Donor pumpkin for LSD purposes
M3 control arms - upper and lower
Power flex Diff bushings
Donor turbos for (possible) hybrid upgrade...
OTG cable for transmission flash as soon as available
INPA cable for same
Coilovers

As much as I love this car.....I hate this car

[IndigoBlueWagon]

What coilovers did you get?

Bilstein B14 PSS

REALLY sweet deal right now at thmotorsports.

Was it a difficult job? Do you have pictures/are you able to do a writeup on it? I know many people would love to see it.

It wasn't difficult but i don't have a lift so it took me longer to get it replaced.

I did a writeup but no photos of it since my phone froze from the cold

Summer wheels and tires showed up today!


After much internal debate I decided to stay with 17s in a square setup with stock size tires. The wheels (Kosei K6r) and tires (Conti DWs) were both on sale. And I'm especially pleased with their light weight.

Well, I've been meaning to take some non-phone pics of the car to accompany my first post, but that might have been ambitious. I picked up the car in December; it's a 2011 Deep Sea Blue/Black Sport with 55k miles.

It took me a bit longer to get working on mods, but the first order of business was to install an M3 steering wheel, then swap the stock 195 wheels with some Avant Garde M359 (black) and Michelin PSSs. That was two weeks ago; last weekend marked the install of some LUX H8 180 angel eyes, which are a lot brighter than I imagined, and last night, I took care of some coding, including:

-Updated trans software
-Brake Force Display
-Start without brake pedal
-Euro hazards
-Fold mirrors with door lock
-Fog lights and high beams
-Key fob windows/sunroof up/close
-Door handle LED in reverse
-Window finish
-Gong removal
-1/16 fuel reserve

I've currently got a Bilstein B12 kit in the garage that needs to go on, and will be ordering some M3 upper and lower control arms in the next week or two. I also took the liberty of reaching out to BPC to get some info on just how far I want to take the car power-wise. Hope to see and chat with a bunch of y'all in the near future!

Wow....that looks Boss!! Impressive. Are they 19 inch wheels? I've been debating parting ways with my style 195s in favor of Apex arc8s.

Also, what is 1/8 fuel reserve? Mine automatically chimes at 1/8th tank.

[The_Wood]

Thanks! Yeah, they're 19s. I was going to try and fit some OE 513Ms originally, but the 19s looked so much better. These are 19x9 et35; 19x10 et38 with 235/35; 265/30 tires. Fitment is great - I think I might need to roll the rear fenders, though. In terms of fuel reserve, I meant 1/16, not 1/8 (great catch) - just updated my original post.

Greats looking car, mind explaining the two above for me? I've got pretty much everything coded you have sans these two (I'm assuming the window finish one is related to the older windscreens that have the purple tint to them with the green strip across the top?)

Having the puddle lights on while in reverse would be pretty cool as well.

Thanks man! Yes, you said it - the door handle LEDs illuminate while in reverse, and window finish just means (and I do this often for some reason) that if you open any door while your windows are in auto-up, it will continue the cycle versus stopping and making you do it manually.

[lnxguy]

Right on, can you tell me what module the puddle lights can be coded to stay on while in reverse?

[ASBSECU E93]

The_Wood - great looking car!

What (specifically) did you use to code the puddle lights? Carly?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure - I was just observing

Thanks! My guy uses NCS Expert to do all of his coding (I wish I was more familiar with what he was doing).

[lnxguy]

Ah no worries, I'll find it somewhere
