I've had the car for about a year now and have slowly been doing some mods. I just got my coilovers installed on Friday so I figured now is a good time to start my build thread.


Here are some pics of the car waiting for me at the dealer







First thing I did was to get 35% tint put on

The drop was such an improvement aesthetically and I'm sure she feels better as well. How is the ride? Very clean look overall. Future plans? Not sure if you have exhaust plans but some nice tips would be a cheap mod that would make quite a difference. Solo-performance.com

The ride is pretty good, definitely a little bouncier than stock, but not bad. I want to go AWE Quad exhaust but S-Line conversion might be a little more then I want to spend right now.

I want to do wheels at some point after the exhaust. I think I am going to mess around some of this new True Metallics Plastidip in the mean time, either Gold or Anthracite. https://www.dipyourcar.com/pages.php?pageid=94

Lol I could see you bouncing around bad when we took pics that day

If you weren't being so secretive about the wheels maybe I would have known your spacers were for sale lol

[Mops@Nemesis]

You have the stance nailed.

I will be going aftermarket when I eventually get wheels.

You have the stance nailed.

Thanks

Looks much better with the drop. All you need now is some good looking wheels...

[Raser]

Get yourself some ecodes and let me know how the VA inspection goes.

Yes wheels and ecodes in due time. I really dont think my euro shop with give me a hard time for ecodes, plus even if they do it is a pretty easy swap from my understanding.

[l's tls]

Looks good!

[Sgibb16]

I dipped my wheels last night using the new anthracite true metallics dip. I think it came out really good, my first time using dip so it's not super perfect in certain areas but it will do.

[bkw]

Did you to it off with glossifier?

Looks great!

No I didn't use the glossifier, this true metallic stuff has a nice semi-shine to it though. I did order a can of it but I like the way this looks for now, may go ahead and throw a coat on down the road.

[Got No Game]

Looks great!! Have you thought about dipping or wrapping the window trim? Now with the dark wheels, it might look good.

It has crossed my mind, but I actually like the chrome on the car and the dipped wheels are really just to hold me over until I can figure out what aftermarket wheels I want to go with.

[Mops@Nemesis]

Looks good

[Sgibb16]

Looks good

Little update today.

I won a photo contest with STaSIS Motorsports and the prize was a Stage I tune. Big thanks to Jeff@STaSIS ! Great bunch of guys up there, everyone was super cool, I would highly recommend them!

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...e-Come-On-In**






So first impressions on the REVO tune: Definitely pulls harder all the way to redline. Before power would kind of drop off around 5k IIRC. There is a lot more intake sound than previously, I guess because more boost. I think when I get an exhaust on it is going to sound awesome.


In other news I tracked down an S5 bumper that is at the body shop currently getting resprayed so I can add a Quad Outlet exhaust. That should be going on in the next few months.

[staticuxo]

congrats on the tune! looks great, man

i think you've convinced me to order anthracite dip for my AG M310 winters.. i happened to curb one the other day lol

[Mops@Nemesis]
