    Late 2018 Update - 6870/AR Designs TS/RK-Tunes/ID1700x/E85

    Figured Id share because I havent posted in a while. Finally had a chance to dial in some new injectors before the car is stored for the winter. Looking to rebuild the rear end in the next month or so. Even though the stock DME tune is good, Im going to try the MS3 Ultimate in the spring.

    Wow dude your car is legit. You have a 12:1 engine?

    Do you have working AC as well?

    I have been looking at the AR Designs manifold over the Steed 2.0 that I have.

    Looks great! And it must be an incredible ride with 900+ rwhp. I just put the snow wheels on my 99 Fern green M3.

    99 Fern on Magma, bought used in 2005 with 44k and I think it’s around 135k now. But yours is very clean and low mileage and rarely driven and mine is more like a beater.

    How do you like city driving the car with a turbo guard cover? they look so nice and glad I have one but would only run it for a top mount application... I received so much hate on FB for running that as my "air filter". Really only had one instance since I built the car were I didn't like it. Its done its job pretty much the entire time I've street driven the car, granted I won't follow people as close as I would in my truck.

    Loving the car. Makes me really miss my Boston Green/Magma M3/4/5 I used as a daily for ~5 yrs.

    Is that just clear coat spraypaint on the compressor, or did you powdercoat it clear? It's a cool look.

    Powder Coated the compressor housing a color called "Alienated Silver"
