Turns out the shop just returned my DME to stock. I contacted AJ and he sent me a new file. I tried flashing the new tune and same thing happened. Can someone help me get the car back to stock?

Picked it up Friday after hours via Uber and it's running REALLY rich. Like, -35% LTFT rich. [emoji53] Emailed AJ, hopefully when he gets me a new tune I don't run into the same problem..

Ended up towing it to a certified ESS installer about an hour away. They spent a couple of days on it and got the DME to work and then had to sync the EWS this morning. Car is now ready for pick up....
Went to install tune file from ESS using their E-Flash program. The program lost connection (right after deleting the timing maps) and was "unable to close connection". I verified I'm getting 12.6...
I have a spare from my spare ZHP motor. DM me

So my stock engine finally had enough. I recently switched to redline oil and I think the extra detergents loosened up the gunk holding it together because at 184k on the clock the engine had...
How much sludge came out with the engine flush? Were you able to DIY or did you have it done somewhere? I noticed a lot of build up and was wanting to do a flush.

I was surprised at the condition but then again the mounts did have 176k on the clock so I guess it was their time. I did VCG 3 years ago when I bought the car. That was roughly 60,000 miles ago......
Oil pan gasket, trans fluid, trans mounts and M3 motor mounts swapped in last weekend. Driver's side mount was looking like PAC MAN. Odd thing is my engine didn't lurch as I'm used to seeing with bad...
Did the oil pan gasket and changed trans fluid, since I was in there. Turns out my motor mounts were shot. Driver's side was sheared clean off. Upgraded to M3 mounts. Mmm
I measured the motor...
It feels like a rubber boot. I'm using stock air box with K&N drop in filter. Guess I'll try cleaning it today but it doesn't look too dirty. Hans said he's going to help get me a new boot. It's the...
Turns out I'm making too much boost! The intake boot has been collapsing under the suction and creates a vacuum leak. I can feel when this happens and cel goes off every time. Hopefully ESS has a...
Decided to dip my rims. Got a bit carried away with the clear coat but otherwise it looks good. this was just to figure out if I like them in Black. Adding powder coat to my to do list.

I run Hankook Ventus V12 and we have roughly the same commute. They have enough grip for daily and some spirited driving, last a while and are budget friendly.

Finished putting the ESS TS2 on today and painted lower mesh grill while I had the bumper off.

I had planned for my wife to help but then she fell asleep after cleaning the house. When I realized she was asleep i had to figure it out. Luckily I had this and it was a yuuge help!

This was a SOB to get back in! Ended up tearing in a few spot but finally got it back on. Had to remove the panel behind cabin air filter and the windshield cowl to make it easier but it still...
Slow and steady 😂
That sure is a tight fit!

So I purchased a used ESS TS1 kit with NIB stage 2 upgrade from Will a few months back and was supposed to start install this weekend. I couldn't wait, so I started yesterday. I'll post pics as I...
Installed the rest of interior trim pieces today. Took em off to have the pillars wrapped in Alcantara. Forgot the pics... Test fit the TS2 to the spare motor and am getting close to install. Should...
Fuel pump decided it needed to be replaced on my way to work today. Luckily I was close enough to baby it back. It died at the bottom of the driveway. Lol judging by the crimp style connector it...
I'll take it! Send me your PayPal info

Ok good to know. Seems like the valve stems were coated in oil residue but only towards the top. The actual valves/seals look clean. I also picked up a 1,000lb engine stand from harbor freight, now I...
