Journey with My Twin-Turbo Coupe

[SilverBullet]

While having my syiok time modding, one must also not forget to carry out the necessary wear n tear replacement and compulsory preventive maintenance..

Carried out my regular service and check-up at 7,000km interval...



Using my favourite oil Liqui-Moly 5W-40 Fully Synthetic..



Upon checking, found out that the front arm bushings are worn out...hence replaced with original new BMW bushings..



Replacement job by my mech...they even have the special tool for pressing the bushings out...saves a lot of time from sending to outside machine shops..good job guys!

Good stuff, where do you service your car bro?

hey bro, I service my car at K&S. I heard a few of the D guys service their rides there as well.

p/s: nice lap times you clocked in the last circuit event bro. Super fast for a D!!

ohh forgot to mention...with the new "BBK look", thought the car would look nicer with 5-spoke wheels...was aiming for the Style 313 BMW Performance rims, but really hard to get locally and quite expensive as well...

again, went for a stroll in Sunway while waiting for my car undergoing some minor works, stopped by at Hup Shun and saw the new F10 M5 wheels...the design looked amazing imho and I'd imagine it would look great on an e92 as well...



darn..i must stop this bad habit of changing rims...haha...so far satisfied with this one

 

[SilverBullet]

gatal time again..hehe..saw a good deal for a brand new Akrym CF Diffuser for sale in SG..too good to let it pass by so decided to pull the trigger...(thanks again to bro M5port for his kind help..such a kind soul)...



bandaged after installation..hehe



hmm need to do something with the protruding exhaust tips...

 

[SilverBullet]

this should look better..



however, the trip to the exhaust shop yielded more than just a pair of tips...came back with an "emptier" pocket...(already empty when walked into the shop, but end up emptier coming out..)

 

[Yeow]

Empty pocket never mind. As long the heart feel shiok and ear feel sedap when driving. Two thumbs up for the awesome ride.

Wonderful thread bro, very interesting

haha hopefully interesting in a good way bro..also trying to revive the forum with the illustrated updates on my thread..hopefully will attract more traffic in the near future

p/s: do convince ur dad to open a similar thread to share his magnificent ride as well hehe

 

[SilverBullet]

like the saying goes...all show but no go..but in my case became all go but no show...hahaha...after doing all the power upgrades, car can go quite ok, but sound is not garang enough...

always wanted the 335i BMW Performance Exhaust but thought the price was a bit too much for just a back-box/muffler..while doing the exhaust tips, I was offered a good deal for a complete exhaust system and the price is lesser than the bmw perf exhaust...was hoping to get a nice deep bassy growl to the sound and would welcome any gain in hp/torque from the straight flow setup which is said able allow the turbos to spool more freely...



for this setup: secondary cat delete, fully catless, x-pipe, twin mufflers, fully stainless steel

 

[SilverBullet]

will try to post a sound clip of the exhaust...thought it sounded quite loud but it has a nice deep bassy growl to the tone...really a head turner...only problem is the cabin vibration and droning below 2k rpm...common with auto cars the rpm always hovers below that (probably to save on FC) unless switched to sport or manual mode all the time..

Awesome mods to the car bro! Was just wondering, how much you bought the M Sport bodykit for and where? Hope you don't mind sharing.. Thanks!

Thanks bro. I bought the bodykit at GC Motorsport Sunway. Can't remember exactly how much but think it was around rm3k+ including installation and painting.

here's a video clip of the exhaust sound..(do turn up the bass for best results)

not bad I reckon for some who call it an 'el cheapo job...definitely a value for money for me...

 

[SilverBullet]
