Welcome! Centerlock wheels huh? Pretty cool. I feel like I've seen this car at the Turner event last year.

Yep I was at Turner last year. The centerlocks were actually a really spontaneous buy. I was looking for a new set of wheels and just so happen to stumble across a really good deal on them. If i remember right It was all 4 wheels, the conversion setup for the hubs, hardware, and the special torque bar/nut for like $600. Overall I was really impressed with the set up but I change wheels yearly so i sold them to another enthusiast father north.

seems jgmods and tunerstock get it from the same supplier who has some good fitment. The CF insert as in the diffuser? I know where you shouldn't get it from... jlmotoring. garbage....

Side note. Should I stick to dual 4.0 tips or go back to quads?

My vote is dual tips. That way when you pull on an m3 they know it's an n54

Good to know to stay away from jlmotoring. Duke dynamics has horrible reviews on how long it takes to get the part etc...

The actual diffuser from Duke Dynamics is a pretty nice piece. Not sure if it's worth the $ but it is nice.

I've just heard horror stories with people waiting 3+ months etc. The quality looks awesome. I was hoping to find an alternative diffuser for less...the mod bargains CF diffuser is $444. Fucking bmw tax in full effect.

So I can shift faster:

willzim · 04-29-2016, 02:18 PM

Wasn't too bad you have to remove a lot of stuff to get to the linkage. One of the linkage pins on the bracket were seized that was the biggest pain luckily I had a friend help me out.
If you need to replace your Guibo now would be the time to do it. Mine looked close to new except some superficial wear. My car shifts so much better.

MetsFan · 04-30-2016, 12:57 PM

Do you guys know a good body shop in the Andover/North Andover area? I know people say good things about Sansossio's and Dick's but I'm looking for one closer.

Down_Shift · 04-30-2016, 06:03 PM

Welded the resonators back onto x pipe this morning. Cleaned out the interior and put the center console back in.

This is the lowest they make for our cars I can't even put a zip tie because there's not enough space.

Edit – forgot to mention check out the felt suede wrapped steering wheel trim. Almost done with testing phase.
