In other news update-wise...had a couple of photoshoots with jack so link to photos below
and in case you havn't noticed am in the process of returning car back to stock, parting out and then will list it for sale
running around in a friends shitbox for a couple of months while i search for the next car

At the moment the aim is a 135i coupe...will test drive a few other cars in between but 90% sure thats what i'll end up with..







and a couple of videos of my exhaust setup

Sad to see you leave the liberty family !! But nice choice as to the next car. My brother has a white one which he may be looking at selling.......

I'll certainly miss the sound, glad the components are going to good homes

full exhaust taken off the other day at garage88 and oil change done, now all that's left is to take the coilovers out and its completely stock (bar the kido tune)

driving around last couple of days its rather different...not having the headers etc on has removed the neck-snapping acceleration and slight twitchy-ness from throttle application, but now I'm feeling the torque much more, and realise just how good the kido tune is

Ed be careful running the tune with stock components

I would flash it back to stock as soon as you can

Can't wait to see the new car

Or even get Matt to give you a rom suitable for stock to entice potential buyers.

I asked matt about this already and he said it's fine...?
i daresay for a turbo car a retune would obviously be necessary when adding/upgrading or removing components...NA maybe not so much? I don't get all this tuning stuff will have a read of things and speak to matt again

[Kekotic]

Oh right forgot you were a 3.0

[dr20t]

Hmmm.

How much of your car was not stock? Was it just exhaust?
