Looks like a good start

Did Verus come out with a heatshield that'll fit the 2021 6-port manifold? I thought that it would only fit the 2020 2-port.

I have heard they have something in the works, hence the pending note. If not, it will be deleted.

Nice to see another nocturnal A91 build.

Your missing lower springs...

Tough proposition with my driveway entrance pitch, and having two unusually high speed humps on a key road leaving my home.

AA Catted DP arrived today!

Also found out that my ECU is dated early June, which means tuning is back on the table in the near future!

Car is going in on Saturday for Xpel and Gyeon.

Was able to use Bimmercode to code out some BDU/DME options, including starting in sport mode.

Bimmercode Changes made today:

• Default driving mode
• Active Sound Design
• Window lifter interruption
• Automatic mirror tilt value
• Camera warning
• Warning at startup
• Daytime Brightness

Early June still can't be tuned. Mine is 6/6 and locked.

I'm curious if the turbo heat shield will fit the 21's

FINALLY was able to get my car to Abuff and Beyond in NJ (fantastic work and great owner) last week for Paint Correction, PPF, and 2 Stage Ceramic. Wound up going with a 30% tint too. Picked her up today! I had the tacky decals removed, as I am not a huge fan. SO SHINEY!

I also installed the Rexspeed passenger CF applique! Looks great IMO.

CF Paddle Shifters should be here this week, and aiming to have the exhaust ordered in the next 2-3 weeks.

Had the Downpipe and Exhaust installed at AutoCouture in Fair Lawn, NJ. Here is a quick video. Sounds really great. Video just doesnt capture the bass notes at all, a huge improvement over stock.
