So I added a JB+, Alta CAI and some new blackout trim to the front end! For someone not mechanically inclined I'm proud of myself! (Even though I'm sure none of this was "hard")

 

Congrats - we all started somewhere !

Now get Bentley manual, and you will be the king of your own maintenance destiny:

Odd that it covers through 2011, and not any further. Does it cover the N18 engine?

 

I too have the alta CAI and I LOVE IT, it sounds like a jet fan and a sucking wound on crack! Be cautious, it seems the rattling from their mount (some say)can cause the hard plastic inlet tube to crack and disconnect, I recommend a new inlet pipe some time down the road. Alta makes some high quality products and have some great customer service!

 

Yea I had a ***** of a time getting the mounting bracket for the filter on, those bolts underneath were hard to hold on to while tightening it down, I'm pretty sure it's still not as tight as it should be but here's for hoping!

And your right, i knew the boost discharge sound was gonna be loud but the actually spoiling sound is amazing! I love it!

 

Looks really good! Congrats!

 

Some more small new things!

 

Looking really good!

Sent from my Note 3 using NAMotoring

 

The Bentley manual has not be specifically updated for the N18, but most things are nearly the same.

 

nice!

 

Got some new black out LED turn signals! As well as my NM stiffer motor mount! Soon to be installed!

 

Had my NM lower motor mount bushing installed today, definitely only a noticeable difference if you really know your car and how it feels, shifting is much cleaner now!

 

Looking good! I'm loving that notch scoop! I'm going to have to get off the pot and order the darn thing already! I've been him-hawing about it for months now...

 

Just purchased one of Mariokarts catless down pipes! Mario was exceptionally helpful and accommodating! A very professional individual!



It ships out tomorrow!

 

It's here!!! Mario's down pipe! So flawless! Did anyone else get this awesome surprise from him also?! Free candy! You the man Mario! Top notch guy! Top notch product!

 

Tried to post a pic but it's not letting me upload anything !

 

There we go!

 

Now that my down pipe has arrived, gonna install that, and then I'm torn between what to do next. H&R sport cup suspension, and rear sway bar? Or BBS Style 5 rims and tires first?

 

Does anyone have the H&R sport cup suspension? Would you be so kind to post a photo of the drop? I'm debating between that, or the NM turbo back/Alta turbo back exhaust with my next bonus check!

 

Got my second CAT cut out and straight piped today, sounds so freaking amazing with mariokarts DP, the burble and pops are so nasty now!

 

So the second cat removal, got you the sound you wanted? Did you leave the resonator alone?

 

yes I think so, I think cutting the resonator will definitely make it louder, but not a clean loud, might be too much

 

did u delete the second cat yourself?

 

no I have a mechanic/fabricator I use locally!

 

Have you played with the sports button? The exhaust should pop a lot more when letting of the gas
