JET's 335Xi

[cmspaz]

That's not bad, the Yedda gets 25-26 in traffic.

I get ~21.5mpg on my commute, but it is all back roads with lots of stoplights and only 13 miles long.

It's a bit early for me to say but I hit 28ish on the way home from Boston, the stop and go in Chi-town killed a tank down below 26... and got 21 on my last tank of commuting and "enjoying my new car"

Here is my fuelly.

Little update: MPG's still over 2 MPG improvement still. I repainted the steering wheel trim that was pealing. Changing the fluids to Redline D4 seemed to make no improvement in shifting from the OEM, in some cases it has made shifting slightly harsh in some gears. Id say the OEM fluid is still the best option which I will change out too after the next oil change.

In other news I hit a giant ice chunk on my way home and destroyed the engine splash shield and cracked the paint on the bumper. The impact was enough to ruin one of the TPMS antennas in the fender well as a result, the tpms light is displaying Inactive in the dash. Doah!

More improvements to come. I have new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports sitting in the garage in 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 sizes.

On a side note I have picked up about 1mpg from the tune also. I wasn't expecting that and I tend to get on it more also. I have a dealer visit in about 1k miles just for an inspection, then when I put the JB4 back in I am putting the flex fuel wires on and will start running E40. That will be plenty of octane to max the turbo. That should put me around 360whp. You can gain about 20whp from the FMIC and DP total to get to 380whp at it is completely maxed.

I might get an FMIC this year, but won't be doing a DP until the warranty runs out probably as they are a bitch to change and they could use it as an excuse to void warranties. The FMIC is going to be hard to prove that is could do anything to void the warranty. I will probably also do the trans flash. On a side note I found out my car already had a JB4 on it previously. Not real happy about that, but I figured it had a tune. The person that spec'd the car was obviously an enthusiast.

Service appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday, so flex fuel wires will be going on shortly after that. I should be sitting at 360whp once I get the E50 in it.

Well I sold the AEM from the talon so I have some more money to play with. I should be able to get all of the visual mods done that I want to do. That will probably be all I am doing to the car this year. I will be painting the portion of the diffuser that is flush to the body and leave the rest black.

Boring stock diffuser.

Does this replace the whole bumper or just diffuser?
