I done did it now... A new toy!

Are you talking about turn 3 or 3D,  I struggled coming out of 3D and 7 without visiting understeer city. Everything else was great though. 

[patsbimmer1]

3 I could feel the weight when I pushed it harder but I was still carrying good speed.  Coming out of 5 and 6 I had quite a bit of understeer.

Nice. Is your signature still up to date? Just downpipes and a tune? No ethanol?

[B C]

I believe it. Nothing like a good rage-roll. 

I remember he said he put new injectors in sometime last year.

[patsbimmer1]

FBO, i've dabbled in ethanol.

[i_love_cars]

there is a Meijr that opened up in Sussex that has E85 on pump. That now makes 2 gas stations within 5 miles of my house that have E85 on pump. I love ethanol.

[Rowleym]

Man some days I wish I lived near a city... I used to daily drive on e85, closest pump being 30 miles away haha.

Stock fuel system, or stage 1 inline pump?

Let's meet up soon! I want to see how the cars compare.

It's been awhile since I've updated this but not much as changed.  I got a great deal on some front drilled and slotted rotors that I threw on.  They work for normal street driving but I won't have any clue if they have any performance benefit until I get on the track with them.  I'm not expecting any difference between these and my solid rotors but they look cool.

I attempted to clean plastidip off of my two front winter wheels before putting them on a couple months ago and didn't get horribly far.  Plastidip is the work of the devil!  I tried peeling, then scraping, then goo gone and finally found that PB Blaster softened it but still wasn't very easy to clean off.  Finally I took a pressure washer to the wheels after softening the plastidip with PB Blaster.  I still didn't get it all off and haven't had the time to go at it again.  

I picked up a carbon fiber M Tech spoiler from ECS for a really good price and couldn't pass it up.  I have a buddy in Madison who does carbon fiber work touch it up a bit and I love it!  Right now I only have some crappy cell phone pictures.

Next mods will be coilovers and steel brake hoses.

Didn't like the spoiler at first, then I saw it from the side, can't wait to see it in person.

first picture made it look like the 10 dollar little 1 inch eBay spoiler.

The profile is definitely the money shot.  It kind of squares off the rear end a bit.  I like it more than the performance spoiler but i'd prefer to have a CSL trunk... maybe some day lol.

I don't remember the CSL trunk being so odd looking from the rear to me...

Depending on the angle it does look odd on the e90.  This looks better to me.

[Earl]

I think it might be how it looks with the non M bumper that makes it odd.

Shaping young minds this week and teaching an alignment class at work.  Of course my car is a training tool.

[Jdesign]

Where is this at? Does not seem to look too low friendly..

[patsbimmer1]

@JdesignI'm a Regional Service Manager with Farm and Fleet.  My car was pushing the limits of low to get over hump from the ramps to the lift BUT I have gotten much lower cars on the racks to align them.  Ask Justin Torres or Brian Luck if you know those guys.
