New Pics

Motorsport.Nick · 09-09-2015, 10:28 AM

Here are some pics I shot over labor day weekend. I spent a long time cleaning the beast inside and out! Started with a wash, thorough engine bay cleaning, porter cable polish, vacuum and interior wipe down! A solid way to spend a labor day holiday if you ask me!

looks great with the msport rear and CHs. are they 18s? Also, your watermark is upside down in the pics, intentional?

Reckless335 · 09-09-2015, 12:52 PM

Your ISO is a little too high on the interior shot. Other than that they look good. Try not to focus so much on the rock chips on the front bumper.

Gorgeous. Nice work. I actually enjoy a nice day of cleaning my car. It's quite relaxing for me.

I love seeing pics of your gorgeous E90! She's going to look awesome with an M-tech front but some spacers are also needed

18s yup! It was intentional to do the water mark upside at another point.. but not on these pics. I grabbed the wrong one by accident and didnt change it back lol

Alen! My spacer dilemma has been going back and forth for long enough now. I run a 10mm in the back, which looks perfect but it rubs.. So I take em off, then I realize it looks too sunken in without them. Put them back on. Rubs... I just took them off again. I don't know if I want to run a 5mm instead or run a size smaller rear tires.

3s4u2 · 09-11-2015, 03:01 PM

Why not just put the 10's back on, but roll your fenders?

Moutamid · 09-11-2015, 10:01 PM

looks great

rpinola · 09-11-2015, 11:10 PM

What intake is that? And is it a hot air intake or cold?

Motorsport.Nick · 09-13-2015, 11:54 AM

Al, come on man! LOL
You know I rolled those babies long ago. 275/35/18 on 18x10 et30 is just a bit tight. I could pull them but I don't want to get that crazy.

Hot or cold? That's a good question. It sounds awesome and might pick up a few horses.

PichaDis11 · 09-13-2015, 12:25 PM

Looks great. As fellow Monaco Blau owner I appreciate the work you put in to keep the paint very clean.

Please if you don't mind, what do you use or how do you get the engine bay to get that clean?

Looked it up and said its hot. I've heard that it gains 20hp, also heard it loses 20 hp. Thoughts about this? Interested in buying them, and also I've heard the sound...it's like a jet.

I definitely felt a little bump in power. I would suggest getting them to any 335 owner! The sound is worth $100 alone. Probably the cheapest mod for our cars that actually does something.

If put down 370whp/440wtq with these intakes and a tune so... Yeah I think they had to help a little bit.

Thanks! Our paint is so finicky. I find my car looking hazy really quickly without any wax, which is what I use. Maybe a sealant would last longer? When it's clean, polished and waxed the color is amazing but when it's dirty- not so much.

The engine bay takes a lot of elbow grease. Use your hose on very low to get it wet and loosen all the dust. Then wipe it down with a soapy cloth, rise, wipe, rise, wipe until you've hit all the nooks and cranies. This is the elbow grease part! I spent more than hour doing this. Ugh! After it's as clean and grime free as possible spray and wipe down with any plastic dressing you like! The trick here is don't be shy, spray like crazy to get all the hard to reach sections so it's even.
