WOLFN8TR'S ///M Project Thread!

Nice choice!

[cakM3]

Lookin' good so far Gary! Just wait till you see these light up! You'll love them :thumbsup

[danewilson77]

Wiring and connections look nice and beefy.

"No flamesuit required"

[WOLFN8TR]

Thanks! Yes the wiring is pretty decent. The one thing I really like about these Angel Eyes is the wiring is encased in the plastic ring. The Helios Angel Eyes from Khoalty I had on my ZHP were not and 3 of the 4 wires pulled out while putting my lights back together and I had to solder them back on.


I decided to install a switch like I did on my ZHP. I mounted it in the center console button assembly.

Here they are, man these are Bright!! You almost can't look directly at them. I didn't hook up the night controller as it didn't seem to dim them much at all.

Nice werk. They look great.

[Pip]

Do you mind taking a photo of the wiring near the positive/negative terminal (passenger side engine bay)? I broke a wire and took them off but now wondering how to put them back. Also if you could explain the switch I'd be appreciative as that would be ideal for me.

[cakM3]

You don't need DRLs with these AEs Gary :thumbsup The switch part is interesting....I'd also like to hear more about this :)

[WOLFN8TR]

Thanks John! I need to hook up the night controller as these suckers are too bright. I can actually drive without headlights. [emoji15]

Sean where exactly did the wire break off? At the Angel Eye relay?

I will draw a diagram on wiring the switch when I get home later.

Oh and I found out the two trigger wires that go to the relay cannot be switched.

White- Goes to the accessory Red/Yellow wire in the DME.

Yellow- Goes to the foot well light.

If you reverse them the relay chatters like crazy! Also if you pull the fuse to the Angel Eye relay the foot well trigger still turns on the Angel Eyes. Weird.

The night controllers do dim the output of the AEs enough so that they aren't as bright as your xenons are.... it is a subtle difference but it's there...

[WOLFN8TR]

I tested it yesterday and didn't notice much of a difference so I didn't hook it up. Apparently I should have.

that's because the footwell trigger isn't really a trigger. it actually supplies the power directly to the angel eyes from the interior lights. that is why there is a fuse there.

also the wires are encased on all non-fl coupe angels because they aren't full circles. if it was a full circle, there would be no place to put the wires in the plastic without making the ring even thicker.

[WOLFN8TR]

Ah ok that makes sense. [emoji106]

[Pip]

Here is my wiring. Love to see how it is hooked up so I can fix mine. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/09/84b623ee9fe42061c605b82b0d0656a6.jpg

I assume red goes to red and the black goes somewhere for ground (neg terminal?)

[sillieidiot]

yeah it's the ground

[WOLFN8TR]

Just installed the Evolve AIT Relocation Kit. Seen this kit on the M3 forum and how the stock MAF Sensor gets heat soaked causing a rich condition. Relocating it down just underneath the air filter fixes this issue. I found one of the Evolve AIT Relocation kits for sale in the classified section and decided to give it a try. Honestly I was impressed at the difference this made! The car feels like it pulls harder and runs smoother. Not bad for $70 and 1 hour to install it.

Ah a good reason to buy some Headers! [emoji2]

I thought about that while under the car cursing and then realized I'd be cursing the headers as well :) I bought headers and full exhaust and sold them before buying the house. I'll get another set in time because they really do make the car sound a million times better. Supercharger would make it sound even better. Mike's car (status gruppe) sounds ridiculously good with full exhaust and supercharger. I can live without the latter.

[UdubBadger]

a quality exotic full exhaust system is the key to enjoying this car - I am certain of that.

[WOLFN8TR]

I decided to get some new headlight lenses beings I'm OCD. The old ones looked like they were sand blasted.

Got a new Bosch set from Khoalty for $80 shipped.

Bosch Headlight Lens- http://www.khoalty.com/headlight-lens-replacement.html

Also got some Lamin-X 6% tinted protective film and new headlight cover strips.

Left- http://www.ecstuning.com/ES173247/
Right- http://www.ecstuning.com/ES173248/

After applying the tinted film to one lens I installed it to compare the difference from the non tinted one. I couldn't really notice any difference while driving and barely any standing in front of the car looking at both lights. I really like the slight tinted look. There is some slight haziness in the photos that should disappear as they dry.

[Pip]

If you're comparing those setups just pay $250 install fee and pocket the $250 delta ($2100+pain and suffering minus $1850).

Not worth the difference between SGT/CPI and hassle with install.

[BADCLOWN]

Status Gruppe

[WOLFN8TR]

Ya thats what I'm thinking also. The only downside is I have to drive the car down to San Diego for the install which is about a 5 hour drive. I spoke with them today and they are available on Saturdays by appointment. I'm going down to Cali this weekend anyway so this might work out!

[Pip]

Just make sure they have the goods. Not sure about the headers but section 1 is usually build to order.

[UdubBadger]

I like SGT, great value and solid products. Just verify they have them before you order.
And like Sean said save the headache and just pay to install.

Not needed unless you'll be doing crazy stuff IMO. You probably won't be tracking and the heat shield will do its job for around town stuff.

Agreed not needed, save the $200 towards the install.

With OEM muffler I would expect your car to sound a little better than the first because of the better flowing headers (even if marginal).

I have to agree with both Sean and Seth Gary. In the end you'll be much happier :thumbsup

Edit: sorry to hear your trip got cancelled. Just make sure you set aside plenty of time to do this. I'm sure plenty of choice words will be said throughout your install :) Be sure to point out issues to watch out for so us late guys will be aware when we get to ours ;)

Interesting. I'm really curious how it will sound. I know a muffler will be the deciding factor in the sound but I can't really justify that cost at the moment.

Take your time, don't remove the A/C lines lol, use silicon or rtv to hold the gaskets to the head when installing headers, and hopefully you won't pull too many studs. I did the tighten and the loosen and tighten and loosen all the way on the nuts which served me well. I had two studs come out which required the double nut to reuse the stud (two nuts to get the stuck nut off of the threads). It is suggested to use corks on the coolant lines but that didn't work so have thick latex gloves and plenty of rubber bands around. I didn't loose much coolant but it did leak overnight because rubber band wasn't tight enough.

[WOLFN8TR]

Got that one bookmarked. Read it several times already. Did you siphon out the coolant from the exp tank before removing it?

No it's actually not needed. You can actually tilt the tank so it won't drain and then add the glove/rubber band. The lower tube is the one that leaks if you leave it (tube that connects to the other side of the hose from the tank.

Yeah it works on the paint for sure. I don't have a spot of chrome on mine so I went black to match.

[sillieidiot]

doesn't work for me. looks better in black and i just think it's redundant. your car already says m3, then there's another m now.

There isn't any in the bottom. I have 4 SS security screws on order so those will be going in when they get here.

Gary, looks like I'm coming into this discussion a little late. I have to admit with your Silver Grey color the chrome license plate frame looks good. If you're blacked out though (grills, side grills) then I think a black license plate frame would go better :thumbsup

Well I decided to cancel the SS Resonated X-Pipe, Section 2.

I called Mike Miggs at Status Gruppe and spoke to him about my exhaust setup and what I was looking for. I didn't want the car too loud with the obnoxious drone. He recommend the Stock Section 2 to go with the Headers and Catted Section 1 and the SCZA Muffler. Turns out he had one left in stock so I decided to get it! I got the Burnt Titanium Tips to go with it.

Seth these mufflers ship out in a week or so I was told. He had some issues with the tips.

Boom! You're going to love the sound. I've heard Mike's car in person and it is awesome. It sounds great with headers and a rasp or catted section 1. It sounds incredible when super charged.

Note that you'll need a new method to cleaning the Ti tips other than steel wool because that'll scratch it. I heard WD40, but I don't know.

Basically I put the car up on all 4 Ramps. You have to face them away from the jack points so you can get the jack in there. Once up on the ramps I place two small 2x4 blocks of wood on the jack to get the additional height to get the wood platforms underneath the ramps. Jack it up slowly. [emoji16]

It does feel good doing it yourself, knowing how everything works and what's what etc. this project was the longest, most frustrating I've ever done. I've installed headers on both my trucks, full exhaust including a downpipe on my 2500HD and this by far was the biggest PITA ever. Glad to see the end is near.

I have a good friend here who recently installed CSL headers and Euro Sec 1 w/ 200 cell cats on his ///M so when I'm ready to do this he said he will help...

Finally got everything done last Sunday. This was a huge PITA to say the least. The car runs so much better and sounds like a pissed off lion! To be honest the SCZA muffler sounds great under full acceleration but it's kinda annoying cruising in town. It also has some drone on the highway. All of SGT products are top notch! The welds and construction are a thing of beauty. Here's some photos.

I'm running 245's up front with 275's on the rear. What a diff spacers make! Love the way it looks now. Seems to handle a little better also.

Gary, with your headlight lens tinted... you do notice any diminishing light while driving at night? I tried going this route many years ago and my best friend (a police officer) told me that I wouldn't like it and that here in Rhode Island I would get lots of unwanted attention. I tried it anyway because I do like the look but found the dark tint took away too much night time light for my tastes. Hopefully you're not having any issues with yours :thumbsup

Honestly I can't tell any difference. I went with the light smoke (6%) vs the dark smoke (12%). I tinted one lens and went for a drive at night, barely any difference at all.

Here's some photos with new lenses and tinted Lamin-X in the driver side only.
