Thanks I will try that.
Being ventilated seats (though very little ventilation can be felt.... when on) some suggested not to coat them in order to avoid obstructing the little pores/holes present. |

Finally got around to getting my stock 343 wheels powder coated. I went with "Weston Grey" which has a semi gloss & metallic finish. Definitely liking how they turned out. Just enough contrast to the Silverstone finish. Prior to install I applied two coats of Gtechniq C5 wheel armor as well.
Man. These PSS 4S tires are legit! I cant believe how well they hook up on my stock competition car. I'm sure they'll try to break loose on me when I go stage 2, but once I "re-learn" the car at that point, I'm sure I'll be fine. The infamous "slow walk back to your car" photo |

It came out really nice. Goes with the body color of the vehicle extremely well.

Finally got around to snapping some decent photos of the M. Also had a chance to install the CF diffuser from cnautofans - amazing quality, service and shipment time.

Thanks! I’ve been on the fence about the trunk spoiler - some days I want it, some days I like it without. I’m going to buy one and test mount it and give it a nice long stare from various angles and go from there. I will also have the tail lights tinted with a very light film - just enough to give them a deep ruby color. But next mod here in about 2 weeks is a tune.

Thanks buddy! It's a great ride.
Means a lot as there are a lot of sick 6's here! Will do. I am going with Mission Performance for the tune. Spoke with the owner a couple of times and I just feel comfortable with the expected performance along with the process. I have to order a ethernet / OBD II cable first so that I'll be able to send in the stock file & then upload the stage 1.5 file - stage 1.5 being slightly more aggressive than stage 1 and also calibrated for 93 octane oppose to 91. According to MP, expected power is 640whp 630wtq - TBD. Will report back once tune is completed. |

Edit: So you made me want to do a drive-by video now lol. Had someone record it while at work. Nothing crazy just a 1st to mid 2nd gear pull. The person who recorded it said how much louder it sounds in person compared to the video so I guess you can take that into consideration. Nonetheless I think it sounds decent on film.

Lol nah, I'll never do that. Two reasons; One, I too often do high speed pulls and have read multiple stories of people experiencing shake in the front from running spacers. Two, I like the front having that "tucked" look. When you force the wheel out by adding spacers, it makes it appear less low. So looking at it from this photo/view, it gives the illusion that the front is more narrow and widens out as it goes to the back - ideal for me. |

Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum and would like to briefly introduce myself (temporarily k/a "the Duganator") by thanking y'all for a nice thread. This is my "1 reply" to become a member and I have many interesting topics to share with everyone. Hope I can be a good contributor after 30 years of driving only BMWs (mostly M-Series). THANKS AGAIN.

Performance mods....finally.
I bought a Dragy unit so that I could start logging my performance numbers prior to doing any signifcant modifications. Highly, highly recommend checking it out - simply another way to log gains other than dyno's and "butt dyno's." So, my best 60-130 in stock forum can be found below. [IMG][/IMG] Fast forward a month or so, I purchased and installed my Stage 1 tune from Mission Performance/Tuning. I was able to get back out to test my 60-130 in similar conditions and the results are below. Closer to 1 sec gain than not, I'd say that's a solid increase from the tune. I do however feel like I could crack high 7's with a little warmer weather and less DA. Plans are to go stage 2 with catless DP's and gapped plugs in March...The goal is mid to low 7's 60-130 at that point. Edit: For anyone not familiar with 60-130 times, for comparison, stock hellcats run mid to high 8s. Last edited by Flo1989; 12-22-2019 at 05:33 PM.. |
