Bringing the G home. Gave her a good wash to see what the paint is like. Not Bad!



First maintenance. Doing the 100k a little early.



Platidip + Plastidip glossifier. Good way to save $200+.



Takeda CAI installed!



Paint correction!



Fresh coat of sealant and wax



Redoing the calipers in VHT Gold thanks to a DIY on here,

Got some goodies!

Invidia Gemini Stainless Steel Rounded Tips!
Should be going on on Thursday when I get time.





AND IT'S ON

 

Face-lift conversion done! Full conversion with slim tank and everything.

 

Got some new wheels! Konig oversteer 19x8.5 Front, 19x9.5 Rear

 

Looking good Slatey, clean and classy!
Do you have camber kits to go w/ the drop?
How many miles when you changed the plugs?

 

Looking good! Nice job on the detail and love the gold calipers! Want to do that on my G soon!

 

Looks great. What ride height are your front and rear from the ground to fender?

 

Thanks!
No camber kit yet, I'm letting the ride settle all the way out beforehand. Then I'm going to get my alignment check to assess everything. If it is 2-2.25 degrees I won't bother, more than that I'll consider it.

I went ahead and did the plugs at 80k to prep for tuning to keep knock in check. Tuning is going well so I'm glad I did.

Thanks!

Not sure on the fender to ground distance but the fender to tire clearance is about a centimeter. If I had spacers it would definitely be flush with no tuck.

 

Now the question is: To test pipe or not to test pipe with new exhaust...

 

I would

 

Don't you have the same setup?

 

Exhaust is now on. Sounds perfect, and for what I got it for, it's the best sounding exhaust you can get for the G37 lol.

 

Berk non resonated test pipes on the way! So excited!

 

How are the coilovers doing? Thinking about getting them.

 

Great! still riding like day 1
