Went and visited mine at the detail shop, just told the guy to do whatever he thought I needed as he’s done a few of my cars and he knows I’ll track it. Saw he did full PPF coverage, honestly I couldn’t even tell it was on there, did very well with the front bumper compared to what I’ve seen from others.

The population there is only 4,378. I doubt they see many M2’s.

No doubt, I am liking the attention. I'm there a couple times a week for the kiddos karate. And during the warm months I usually drive by the lake to check out cars. 6Smith is also one of our favorite restaurants in the area.

Have not been there in a few years. The times we have gone in the past were enjoyable

Install is pretty simple. Use a trim removal tool for the upper portion. You will decompress the clips to free it from the bumper. The bottom are just held in by a few screws and 2 clips.

Love it so far. Much different than my Supra. Feels slow for now but excited to open it up soon

A lot has been done since I last posted here. You can see the Alpha-N CF GT front lip and the black front M2 badge from IND.

Under the hood we added a CSF manifold, ID 1050x injectors, NGK plugs, Visconti Reflex+ kit for port injection control, CSF Heat Exchanger, and a Visconti Fuel Pump kit in the tank.

The car is running full Ignite Red now. Had it on the dyno for 3 hours on Thursday, but we were having issues with the reflex. Best numbers we were able to see in 6th were 725whp/700wtq.

Got it sorted out on the street on the way to the track yesterday. First test 60-130 was 5.8s, but we still have more in it. I tried to sent it at a track rental yesterday, but it was too cold and I couldn't get enough heat in the tires to make a real pass. Going back tomorrow.

70% Xpel windshield tint.
I had one done with no shade just for heat protection but there was an imperfection on the material. Installer replaced it for free and decided to go with 70% shade.

Press the M1 button before starting the car. Assuming you have your M1 button set up with Sport settings. If you're referring to the Sport display, yeah doesn't work.

Nice build. Seems like you have one of the most modded G87s on here. What shop is doing your install and dyno tuning? Also, I imagine the Ignite Red is only for the track because it’s $$$. I’ve been running E85 on Subarus for almost 15 years. It’s E70 blend now but should see it up to E80-85 before summer. It’s cheap and makes a lot more power than 93 but it burns quick. Probably 13 mpg in my STi on E85.
