Last mod's before 4000mile road trip for Buschur tune!
 
Took a few photos last week of the latest changes to my IX beofre mamoth road trip. I decided to pull the carbon hood back-off for the trip; didn't want to run those miles and risk stone damage. I'll get some better out side shots soon, the car now looks really agressive with the suspension, wheel, spacer combination. Anyway, these'll have to do for now..

And here's a quick video of the IX on a 11psi base tune that I threw together to allow the car to run for the 4000 mile round trip. It actually ran really well with this base tune.

With the Buschur tune on a Mustang Dyno we made 410whp on 91 pump gas (25psi spike on MBC) and 450whp on race gas (30psi spike on MBC) at 2000 ft altitude. Not bad for a small-ish turbo.

I'm assuming it's because his carbon door panels do not have a spot for them...

First off, I'm sorry to say this. Second, the interior looks poorly done not to mention in bad need of a good cleaning.

edit: on the other hand the brakes looks awesome! :D

i just dont get it. most people do carbon doors, not the door interior. i doubt you saved any weight (if that was your intention) and beyond that it just looks odd without arm rests. not to mention the switches look so out of place. +1 on the need of a good cleaning too. hey but its your car. hope youre happy. just out of curiousity, what wheels are you running with those spacers because it loooks like stock evo8 wheels in that pic.

You drove 4k miles for a tune? Wow; crazy. Bet it was fun though...I love roadtrips :)
