Few more pics from the event popped up.


Run I almost spun it, too much juice and not enough grip!







Also swapped keys with my old man for a couple of days while I delivered on my father's day gift. 2014 BMW 335i, around 400hp with minor work done. Sounds the business, and goes too! Lots of torque and pulls to redline, a lot more refined and masked speed by contrast to my 86 which is no surprise.
Not sure if it was because it was automatic but I couldn't get syned with the car, and the steering didn't offer any feedback. Getting back into my 86 where everything is so connected made me appreciate it that much more!


Got to test out carpro essence and topped it with reload. I was surprised how well it was able to correct with my polisher, and how nicely it finished. Did a few other odds and ends, including a windshield polish and installation of aquapel.



Decklid in the worst shape, before/after

Picked up a FT86MS catted and resonated Front pipe to replace the catless HKS dual resonated currently installed.



Also swapped out my OEM catback for a 13-16 OEM unit. Picking up a axleback tomorrow to try which requires the older style flange.
Uploaded a quick clip comparing my setup with different front pipes. HKS unit sounds great overall but a bit rasp at low RPM with heavier stabs of the throttle.

FT86MS quality is great and overall happy with no more Stinky catless fumes. No rasp, and a touch quieter.

Car saw it's longest single day road trip yesterday. Just under 1300km. Wore ear plugs all day to cut down road noise which greatly helped with road fatigue
Trip mileage average says 6.5L/100km which is roughly 36mpg. If true that's the best mileage I've clocked since buying it!

Picked up a Fujistubo authorize S axleback to try. Tossed it on last night after I got home. Need to live with it a minute but sounds good.

Couple odds and ends showing up.

Picked up the FT86MS OP with CERAKOTE black. Nice looking piece.


Could not help my self to in stock ecutek kit. Planned to wait for BF sales but 5% off wasn't worth waiting 2 months.



Cleaned up the header for the next owner. I didn't get a before shot but it was pretty grimey. Considered breaking out the sandpaper but the drill brush/mother powerball did an adequate job. Tried to focus on parts that you can see inside the engine bay.

I was given an good offer for a tuning package. They chopped off $50 for the kit and packaged a custom E-tune with another $50 discount at $250.
Their tuning partner powertune Canada is familiar with the JDL.

Spent the weekend polishing and recoating the car. This is more a part 1 post showing process, photos were taken after I polished with essence. I lost sunlight before I could get a decent photo after the coatings were done. Last pic is a post coating shot in the dark.

Two step polish and coated with two coats carpro Cquartz UK 3.0 and one coat Cquartz SIC.

Decon wash; Adams strip wash, misted with ONR and ferrex then hit with a clay towel. Polished with scholl S20 black the followed up with carpro essence.

Header arrived and installed today.






Ran into an issue with the 2.5" overpipe contacting the subframe, so I swapped back to the gruppe-s OP until that's sorted.




Edit sound clip with an overnight cold start and some revs

Had a end of year cruise with our local 86 club.
Covered around 150-200km of windy back roads. Car ran great all day on a mostly finished tune. Swapped keys for a bit with a twin owner who brought his E36 M3 that day.




Small taste of scenery and roads.

Had the car in the shop over the weekend to finalize fitment on the 2.5" OP.
They let me bolt up a 2.5" unresonated catback they took off their shop car. No Audio clips but it sounded rowdy. Not enough to sway me from the OEM catback.
