V2 install and a detail- my car had a great day!

tek818 · 11-09-2007, 12:24 AM

Well, as the title states, today was a great day. Started out by getting a great detail from John @ Exclusive Auto-Detail. Wash, clay, polish, zaino, and full interior detail looks great. Thanks John

Now for the good stuff. V2 install went smooth as can be tonight. I left the torque settings at default and took her out onto the freeway for some testing and I must say, could not possibly be happier with the results. Vishnu obviously put a lot of hard work into the V2 design. The power delivery feels a lot more like stock, but with say ~100whp added. The other mods I have done are Borla Exhaust, secondary cat delete, and ITG filter. The car feels like an absolute MONSTER now. No clicking, shuttering, shaking, NOTHING! Just a steady barrage of torque that just PINS you in the seat and your head back.

For those still waiting to receive your V2 kits; rest assured knowing that the wait was MORE than worth it. The second you mash the gas down, you will know what I am talking about...

**EDIT** Like pikkashoe stated, I highly recommend relocating or removing the uppermost ring of black tape on the 12v power wires to ensure that the connectors are not at angles where they could possibly break.

Congrats. Car looks exceptional, especially with those wheels. Tell your detailer to use Pinnacle Souveran next time. I think you'll be happy with the results. Works much better than Zaino on that color.

Nice car brotha!!!

vase330 · 11-09-2007, 01:40 AM

Just ordered it. I will let you know if I agree or not. I used MAguires twice now. Its easier to use and quicker than Zaino. Lets see what Pinnacle does. I'll report back in a month..

sambonator · 11-09-2007, 01:56 AM

Congrats on the Detail and the V2!

thx... I am certainly going for that "clean" look

Just went for another drive with v2 this morning.... OMG it pulls hard. With 1.47, my car used to get sideways on the runflats; the 19" Nittos fixed that. Now with v2, back to getting sideways :P

down4it · 11-09-2007, 01:03 PM

Great job bro!! Car looks good as hell!! maybe when i get my V2 you can help me out so i dont break anything.

Good job, man! I kinda want a ride in your car, but not really because I will feel sad getting back into my stock 335i, lol.
