When I DD'd the car, I was sitting at 28-29. When not DD'ing it anymore (read beating it pretty good most of the time), I was at 23-24. Curious to see what's next too.

Just drilling out the washer tank hole that the stem sits in. On my car we modded the holes for the nutserts (cool name) as well so we could mount the fmic without removing the front bar.

Nice build sportsguy!!

@Sportsguy83 what did you do about you chip/dent in your roof, I have one the same size on my passenger rear flare, I thought I would have to replace the full panel.

Had it PDR'd( Paintless Dent Removal), bought a 1/4 gallon of Rust Bullet to add directly to the metal, then bought Dr. Colorchip kit and touch up painted it myself.

It is not noticeable anymore. I can find it, but I take a good amount of time to find it anymore. The paint match they do is awesome!! The process to apply it is extremely simple.

Shitty like:

Me: "Hi, I hear you guys have a Mustang Dyno and I want to use it. I will bring my tuner down to tune it. How much do you charge to use it and when is it available?"

A-hole: " Yes, we have a Mustang Dyno what car do you have?"

Me: "I have a Subaru BRZ"

A-hole: " Oh, we are not interested, we only do BMW's."

Me: "Oh, but I am not asking for you guys to tune it, I'm just asking to use Dyno Time"

A-hole: "No, we are not interested, we only do BMW's"



Really.... WTF???? I'll pay your rate to use, just let me use it.....

(True Story... sadly)

Edit: BTW, it was this shop

AVIOD them at all costs!!

Active Autowerkes 9940 SW168th Terrace
Miami, FL 33157
(305) 233-9300
Mustang Dyno MD-250

I actually like Active Autowerke. They do really only work on BMWs, and I actually drove all the way down to Miami to have them tune my E92 M3. It does not surprise me that they did not let you use their dyno. Just because a shop has a dyno does not mean that they are willing to rent it out.

Honestly, first time in my life I've ever told someone, " I want to pay for X service" and been told, no, I don't want your money. I guess they have plenty.

I would think their Dyno did more for them making money than sitting.

They get to charge the "M Tax", so they have plenty.
