Some winter mode pics. She handles the snow every well, even when lowered.

Thanks Neil, I haven't gotten around to wiring up the sequential turn signals yet. Since I upgraded to the face lift mirrors the turn indicators do not work, I need to wire them to the turn signals on the fender.

Purchased this and the AFE intake a few weeks back and finally got a chance to install it. Adds just the right amount of aggressiveness without going over board.

Love the carbon weave, it matches well with the new carbon mirrors.

Thank you my friend, yours still is a great inspiration for me. Just have to keep it clean like yours now.

Where did you find the rocker panels and flares?

From a crashed M sport vehicle. Was considering the front bumper as well. But ultimately stuck with the x line with the painted silver bits.

It looks great!!

What's up guys,

Been working on a new intercooler setup.

Racing Dynamics Boost and Charge pipes received, awaiting the Wagner Evo 1 FMIC.

Kriston · 09-21-2021, 07:11 PM

Finally had some time to install the Racing Dynamics charge pipes and Mishimoto intercooler

Happy to confirm everything bolted right up! We have solved the intercooler issue for the N20 e84's!

The X1 is such a pleasure to drive full bolt on. Boost is nice and consistent now through the power band. IAT's down 15-17 degrees per my logging so far off the JB4.

Really happy it worked out

Everything is great, awesome power delivery and nice cool IAT's.

I have since developed a small coolant leak somewhere, been topping up coolant every couple of days. Have to take a look and see what needs to be repaired.

I just had to replace the coolant reservoir due to it cracking at the seam. I hear that's common. Started as a low coolant light, then a little puddle, then Lake Double Dare under my car in my garage.

It was the radiator. Going in this week for replacement.

Front fender arch mouldings need to be trimmed a bit to fit. But it's pretty much bolt on.
