Good to get baseline #s before doing upgrades.

I feel good about these numbers and the graph itself looks healthy. There was an mr2 on before me and his graph was a mess, like it was missing or not getting good ignition.
Anyways, up we go

Upgrade & slap it on a dynojet.

Pretty good! A lot of n54 guys dyno with standard correction (std) so if you compare yours to others it may seem low since they used sae. Figure another 10whp based on a 4% difference between the two. Now on to mods!

Yeah exactly, that's what I figure. I didn't think I'd be near 300 obviously, it just feels so much faster than 240 lol. I guess that's the torque doing its magic. And the guys working the dyno said they have never done a 100% stock 335 before, so they didn't know what to expect either.
Either way I have my number to look back on, I plan to make this a yearly thing to keep progress visible and track goals.

I wouldn't get too tied up with Dyno numbers if the car feels good and you enjoy driving it that is a win. Ask them when the last time they had their Dyno calibrated I bet they give you a blank stare. There is no substitute for the butt Dyno, a piece of paper doesn't make me feel good. Unless something is rolled up in it.

Hit a deer tonight
A little worried insurance will total it with that A pillar hit, but lets see what they say
-
Hmm, I am not a body repair guy but that seems fixable if they can get it to pull back out. I doesn't look like it distorted the window frame, at least the window didn't crack. Is the mirror ok besides the cover missing? It looks pulled out some by where it mounts to the door.

Deer are the worst

OH deer!
But seriously I would just go to a paintless dent guy and have him pull that out. I bet it would cost you $50-70. Then just buy a new mirror cover or mirror if its broken. Depending on your deductible, small damages like that are better left off of the cars history report and easier to pay out of pocket.

Window frame seems fine, but it was dark and I've been at work all day. Will give it a closer look this evening. Mirror shattered and fell out of the cover, it was dangling by the cables for the heater. That part alone is $500 without the glass, so its going to cost me something.
Did the Deer get totaled?
I honestly thought so, but the cop couldn't find it. It smacked its head against the A pillar but must have got up and walked away.

The thing is, I want it fixed properly all the way through. I had/have big plans for this car and I don't want to be disappointed by something like a bad repair or go cheap on fixing it.
Bonus points, I have a dash cam and got footage of the little turd. Go 46 seconds in to see it. Please don't share this though;

Great music for deer hunting.

Finding a used mirror that matches or buying a used one and having it resprayed should cost you much less than $500.
Also, PDR isn't a cheap or bad repair. They painstakingly message the dent out from the back to remove it 100% and it leaves your paint undamaged. In my opinion, it is the best way to go about it before having a body shop look at it because they will use filler regardless and respray the pillar.

Agreed. I know this could be fixed with some PDR and some attention to the mirror.
I claimed the damage to my E90 after I slide into a snowbank last winter. The bumper had a small crack in the bottom but since it was an M-Sport, I knew the payout for the bumper, paint, labor and small accessories would be around $2000. I got $1500 after they subtracted my deductible and fixed it for around $1000, leaving some extra change in my pocket. Cool, right? Nope! Now I have an "accident" on my record, my insurance premium went up, I lost some safe driving discounts and it went on the CarFax. If I could go back and choose to fix the damage out of my own pocket, I would have 100 times over.

Does it link you my songs? The video is muted, but people keep saying this to me.
what dashcam is that? I’ve been considering one now for a little while and that one looks great
Its called a YI Dash cam, $50 on amazon + a micro SD card. It records all the time and then saves footage when it detects an impact. This was actually the only "mod" suggested by my wife.
Fun fact, you can trigger the acceleration detection by launching the car!
This is the one I use: Yi Dash CamAgreed. I know this could be fixed with some PDR and some attention to the mirror.

I guess I'm a little confused, is this a franchised store or something else? I've never been in an accident before and I'm not sure where to go with this. From the sound of it I might be making a bad decision here, but whats the point of insurance if you don't use it when you get in an accident? I googled painless dent removal and it brought up the same shop I am meeting the appraiser at next Tuesday. There is also a big ding in the door and a couple scratches in the side, I just want it fixed all the way.
I don't see why they would raise my rates, this wasn't an accident and I have video to prove I couldn't really avoid it.
