Edit: Just heard from Mike. Seems like there is an issue with my CSF Manifold. He said the IATs were the highest he had ever seen on the dyno with an S58 with 6 fans running and 60 degree ambient air temp.

This is not good. I just want to enjoy this thing. I have no luck. Spent $7k to buy the best manifold on the market and I get one that's potentially defective. Thank god there's a lifetime warranty. I'd sell the car before I'd buy a replacement.

This also precisely why I abandoned remote tuning. I knew something was off with the car. If you're going this far down the rabbit hole, you really shouldn't remote tune the car. If I didn't keep pushing to have the car looked at, I would have blown the engine.

Was at the shop recently and saw it. Looks really good, super agressive. Hopefully you get it sorted soon.

Add my name to the list by end of year. Wife and I decided to get out of DFW and closer to Jester King. 😉

My brother lives down there and I gotta say...why would anyone want to move TO Austin now

Yeah Jester King and ABGB are alright but you have Celestial and Turning Point here, and a lot fewer dead bodies in the streets. Austin jumped the shark 10 years ago!

Ha. Suffice it to say, our list of reasons are a little too long and personal to list out in a public forum. 😉 Grew up in South TX and know ‘old’ Austin very well.

P.S.: I know Celestial ALL too well.

Mundane activity. Color matching with the sky but this ain’t Brooklyn.

LAGWAGN · 04-25-2024, 01:24 PM

Picked up the car from Xpel. Full front, a-pillar, roof and rockers. Front and rear reflectors tinted.

I also brought the Roadster home from getting a new top. Father and son…

Cool take!

Just slapped a ceramic coating on the car after getting it back from ppf.
Also added 12mm spacers all around to prep for the new wheels.

AZG87 · 04-25-2024, 05:55 PM

Ceramic coated the SLAs today.

Looks great. What % tint is that all around?

To be honest, I wish I knew. I bought the car used (90 miles) and the PO had it done at the dealership. If I had to guess, it looks like legal limit (25%).

ttaidapos · 04-26-2024, 04:57 PM

2nd proper wash since I got it in November. Been doing my own touchless since.

Various non performance mods, will open a new thread once I have time. Tints, ceramic, track pack PPF, MP HAS, 50th all around. Finally got my custom 1000M in 19/20 size. Car is finally complete!

LeggoRacing · 04-26-2024, 05:05 PM

Installed a new IRL midpipe today. Wow what a difference. (still have to add the valve controller in, but happy so far)

Easy install and great quality product.

kevinG87 · 04-26-2024, 05:15 PM

I purchased my m2 today.

Gonna post any sound clips? I would like a midpipe as well and trying to narrow down which one to get.

I posted this. No outside driving videos yet.

I have the valve controllers as well but haven't put them in yet. Sounds great to me so far.

Completed break in service! Holy cow; this thing pulls hard and sounds so good when unleashed! I think I only went to a little over 6k, but got damn!
