Oops
So, you've likely seen from the other threads, that Ness got some great attention in Vegas this weekend. To net it out:
- Installed ECS Tuning BBK kit with new OEM Performance Drilled rotors and Hawk HPS ceramic brake pads. Great group effort here. Thanks to BP for his knowledge/work on this kit.
- Charlie removed my StealthOne for the ValentineOne as it works with OEM Nav which I don't have any longer. I will be swapping with Charlie for his Android Blue Tooth ValentineOne module
- Charlie removed old dash trim piece on the left and replaced, also re-aligned new trim and got the Bimmian mount to seat better
- Gary did awesome work tightening/securing the exhaust and associated bolts in the undercarriage as it's a tight fit between the exhaust, the UCC Sway Bar, and the vert reinforcement plates all in the same area. He used some washer spacers to get a better fit, as well as flame proof asbestos to help provide a buffer in case things do bump/rub together. It's very buttoned down though and nothing hits after the work.
- Checked the transmission fluid change that I did earlier while under the car for leaks, etc. and everything looks great.
Pics shortly.

Nice work! :thumbsup
I admired the pics over in the meet up thread, very cool. How do the new brakes feel? And what did you do for the Bimmian mount to get it seat better? I am pretty set on buying one now that I've got a 6S that doesn't fit all that well in the cup holder.
Thanks! I thought the brakes were mostly bling, as they not necessarily best for heavy tracking from what BP told me. But, surprise, they are SOLID and grip way better. Both BP and Charlie also drove it and said the same thing. Extremely happy with the way they look and feel. Not hard to install, I definitely would recommend them.
As for the Bimmian mount, I think Charlie just tightened it WAY down, almost to a bend, to get it to sit deeper so the trim pieces sat flush.
