Just all the normal bolt ons plus inline fuel pump and Just the routine stuff man, oil/coils/plugs/walnut blast/gaskets. Gonna make sure to do belts and wp/tstat when i do the single install. Car runs great though can't complain.
Tax refund plans!?
- Thread starter Derek@MoorePerformance
- Start date
The N54 never stops amazing me to be fair.. Its probably the only engine I have ever seen that can handle the stress and how long it handles it impresses me even more.
I gotta pay more tax because I decide not to get an insurance. Plus, I make over whatever they consider as rich... so going to get nuked with tax
Love seeing tax season ballers saying they are going to go single or upgraded twins + PI + MT swap + blah blah blah..
Listen, if you can't afford to save money to buy these parts through out the year.. chances are you can't afford to do the build. And if you can it wont be everything you're expecting. There are more hidden costs that just buy a kit and bolt it on. Do something that doesn't require a lot of maintenance or even more upgraded parts.
Example: Upgrade suspension and diff.. you'd be amazed at how much better the car feels
Haven't replaced your VC yet? Injectors? Coilpacks? Gaskets? Do those first, trust me..

Yes!! Before I even got my JB4 back in January I did:
Spark Plugs
Coilpacks
Fluids(oil, trans, etc)
Tires
Suspension
Walnut Blast
Then JB4 and after JB4 I've been taking performance from efficiency instead of going instantly to DPs or FMIC. Exmaples being things like the stage 2 LPFP. The old one was dying and I hadn't planned on getting that yet but.. The new one overall is more efficient and has different limitations (E85 is usable now).
Also, don't forget all the software modifications:
Alpina B3 TCU, US Sport Flash, EU Sport Flash, etc..
MHD BEF / MHD
Preference coding options
SOON to be referenced transmission control.
At the end of the day you just gotta keep it healthy and don't just strap a bunch of Bolt-ons on and call it finished.
I think replacing transmission oil is pretty useless on our cars.. because even you drain the oil out, you are not draining everything out lol...
Downpipes... Finally lol. I had originally planned to do them first, but they were out of stock when I was gonna buy them so I bought a jb4 instead.
I don't get taxes so I literally make a spreadsheet of what I can do each month. Update it when the real world fluctuates. as you can see I don't always stick to the plan. but this is my plan from July 2016- June 2017.
I was planning on just getting a posi and axels but now I seen a good deal on twins, I will have to buy them also with port injection and stage 3 fuel pump
What I'd like to use the refund on:
Downpipe, Intercooler, MHD Stage 2+ Map
What I'll actually be getting:
New front and back door for the house

I need to pay for the balance of Apex SM-10 wheels, new rubber (likely Continental ExtremeContact Sport) and install of YCW coilovers and M3 front control arms sitting in the garage.
