Waiting to hear from the shop as I dropped off Heinz last friday, VANOS Rattle, got the kit and everything to rebuild and also swap the DISA. The wait is killing me and I dont want to be that type of costumer thats constantly checking up on him (known him for a pretty long time), wonder if I will feel the difference, did feel a decrease in power the last few days I drove him, so hopefully this will get better... will report back

Well got Heinz back today, ended up having to change MAF as well since after everything was done rpms were pretty shaky at low rpms. But now I feel power all around the rpms, especially after 4000, it's like VANOS KICKED IN YO! Anyways it feels super smooth and very responsive.

Installed my new Alcantara Coby Wheel as well as the brake boot. I also have the shift boot waiting, but my arms were too sore to pull that thing out today.

I'm really glad I went with the dove gray alcantara over black or leather. I was getting tired of the cheap ebay wrap I had on there and was debating between ordering a leather or alcantara wheel. I choose alcantara because I figured the ZHP would likely be the only car I own that has alcantara, so I may as well enjoy it.

I also got a nav mounting bracket from ECS, which will be going in within the next few days. Last step to finish off the interior would be getting some M6 seats, but I still need to convince myself i'll be able to install them if I buy them.

that steering wheel looks gorgeous. i cant wait to send Coby a apsare wheel to have him wrap in alcantara.


m6 seats are not hard to install, simply remove the outer seat rail from your seat and install your seat rail onto the M6 seat and it will bolt into the car. wiring is plug and play with the seat connector. very simple install

Love my Coby wheel.

Do you know if the M6 seats are dimensionally larger than the M3 seats? The inside bolster on mine rubs ever so slightly against the center console, making a tiny rubbing sound when going over bumps. It annoys the shit out of me.

yes they are physically wider and more comfy but my friend that has them said he didnt notice any squeak. everyone has different levels of acceptable noise and annoyance tolerance so you have to start gauging the people that make their claims along with the claim itself... my buddy doesnt have huge OCD and small things dont bother him so i would not be surprised if there is noise and he just doesnt "hear" it

your level of "annoying" may not match his level lol

That’s fair. I also hear cabin noise because I seldom have the radio on (I enjoy listening to the Magnaflow symphony in M54 Major with aFe accompaniment).

One other variable I thought of is my having an armrest delete. It might be rubbing in a place a normal armrest console wouldn’t, who knows.

May be pushing the bolsters out because you have them inflated to the max? Console dimensions shouldn't differ.

I thought about that too but it’s actually the passenger side that rubs, not my seat (which is the one with the bolsters maxed). Maybe I should just go back to regular sport seats since the Schroth Quickfits hold me in place on the track, negating the need for the M3 bolsters.
