Dry iced and mildly modded

Post by john-e89 » Fri Mar 31, 2023 6:21 pm

Finally got my ideal spec M roady done, always wanted to get one like this.
Mods:
OEM front strut brace
Vibratechinic engine mounts
RTAB limiters
Supersprint X pipe with powerloop back boxes
KWV3 street coilovers
AP 6 pot front 4 pot rear bbk vapour blasted back to the original raw ally non painted.
OEM CSL’s with new MPS4 boots
Fully cleaned by dry ice blasting underneath.

No upgrade bushes yet, we’ll see how it feels when it’s done some miles.

That's awesome! Apologies for being crass but how much did the dry ice clean cost? I'd be sorely tempted to do it myself!

Cheers Ed, :thumbsup:

I did the dry icing myself. I take it when you say do it yourself you mean get it done somewhere as it's not a diy job, I'm going to be doing it as well the soda and vapour blasting. It's pretty expensive tbh, unfortunately with energy costs as they are the cost of ice has more than doubled, it's now £3 a kilo, and I used 200 kilo on the M, so you're looking ballpark at £1400 for a thorough clean underneath and wheel arches.

Bring it up Mark, I'll get it on the ramp and we'll take it from there, the icing is pretty expensive so let's see where we are after an inspection ok. :thumbsup:
