Thank you, I was fortunate enough to buy the car with it already installed but the biggest headache is fixing everything that was not done correctly. The lip does provide a good seal against the hood. I was looking at the BMS intake and think it looks really good. Do you have installed already?

I have the Drop in Filter, everyone, what is your take on it? I am hesitant to install the Drop in Filter from K&N. Just want to hear everyone's Opinion that reads this, if good, then I will post a Photo of my install on my direct drop in.

I had no problems with their drop in filters, used them all the time before with no issues even after cleaning and re-oiling them.

Changed oil dip stick tube o-ring and was fiddling with ride height to get it where I want it with new wheels.

zener · 11-03-2023, 05:07 PM

Wash day. I think now the ride height is ok for my taste.

Next step is oil filter housing gaskets. Quite a lot of them on N47.

Replaced my rear brake pads and rotors.

Got my new lenses in

SummerallGuard04 · 11-04-2023, 08:30 PM

Added these ebay front spolier corners. Good quality, 35$ shipped from China. Adds some flare and I didn't have to drill holes. I think it compliments the dual slat kidneys, too...

No, my daughter was born in August. That's pretty cool you and your daughter share a birthday!

Carbon535i · 11-10-2023, 10:09 PM

Setting up to replace my headlight lenses tomorrow.

zener · 11-11-2023, 02:02 PM

Fixed leaking oil filter housing gasket(s). Had to bolt off motor mount bracket from the block to get it out.

zener · 11-12-2023, 02:43 AM

Yep, N47D20, 184hp, I have ecu tune and it has around 240hp.

Carbon535i · 11-13-2023, 02:47 AM

ctcarbonari · 11-13-2023, 03:46 PM

I added a new feature that I like to call my "Wifey, Be Good" function.

This was a splurge item that made it into my ECS Tuning cart while shopping for PM parts. Overpriced, imo, but will be worth the few laughs and jokes I get from it before I grow tired of looking at it.
