Q50 COMPLETE mod list Walk-Around

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Wow, a thumbs down within the first 5 minutes of posting--that hurts lol! Despite having nearly 200 videos explaining each and every mod/part I've added to this car, I get regular questions about this part or that, so I hope everyone finds this video informative! Thanks for watching!

Don’t worry I will give you a 👍

@@presidentsad7217 I appreciate that!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Awesome! Thanks for checking in!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Heck yeah!!

[@billhon5929]

You and boostinmotion are my go too guys

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I apprecaite that!

[@mattg3829]

I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to find one of your videos and thought to myself “I know I watched this, where is it..” 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I know what you mean! People ask questions about things in old videos and I have to search for them myself lol

[@mikegar2118]

“100 videos”...slacker ! 😂 great summary of a great car...u forgot the emblem lights in the door...let me know when u r ready to sell the Q 👍🏻

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Oh damn I did forget those! I actually am over 150 videos-gotta be close to 200 vids now!

[@stonedphilosophy5326]

I was thinking about drilling some holes in the fake grill around the fog lights and making it like an actual vent. I noticed the way the car is designed and has the entire engine bay closed from underneath, the only air coming in is directly to the rad, which is good, but... I was thinking if there was air flowing through those ports it would hit the wheel well and be forced up because it cant go down being encased and physics lol So more air directly to intakes, cooling the bay and hopefully causing a bit of lift, forcing more pressure on the rear (driving) wheels. What do you think? Good, bad or ugly?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I thought about trying to use those for ducting for brake vents. I like seeing innovative ideas. Obviously they designed the car like that for a reason, but you’re theory makes sense. It would be difficult to ever measure it to know if it made a difference, but cool idea!

[@stonedphilosophy5326]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Well thank you. And yes in theory it sounds good. The only problem I can see is without anywhere for the air to go without fender vents is pressurization and drag. And yeah it would be hard to tell the difference lol.. but I'm sure that direct flow to cold air intakes would help. Stock intakes probably not so much but maybe the pressure would be a good thing in that case.. I guess there is only one way to know.. and thats to find out!

Black on black on black 😎

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

The best combo!

[@benjaminross7930]

Of course you may have already said that you have or haven't printed it but I have only watched a couple videos so far...

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I’m assuming you mean tuned? The car has bolt ons and is tuned, yes.

[@VllBEZ]

Do the q60 shift knob upgrade !

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Ya know...I haven’t even thought about doing that, but it does look nice. Maybe I will

[@harryfigueroa9877]

Love your videos

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Really appreciate that!!

[@bandidomxgarage7898]

i'm thinking about buying some 19x10.5 wheels in rear and I want to use 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 that offset me recommend ? +35? or else? thank you and I'm a big fan of yours

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thank you! +35 might be ok. 10.5 is pretty wide in the rear if you’re not using adjustable camber arms. I had a 9.5 +35 in the rear lowered 1.5” and it was pretty flush with a 275 so you might get a little poke on stock arms

[@mosaekim]

Thats alot of Mods,Ur wife is probably like stop spending money on that car!!😁My wife is like sell ur car, u hardly drive it,but I am car guy,the q50 is a good platform,and fun build😁

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

She’s used to this after all these years. I don’t really buy anything else for myself ever so it doesn’t really bother her.

[@RjQ50]

So do i need test pipes or can i keep it stock because i recently bought everything you listed in your exhaust setup video 🤔 plz help

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

No you don't "need" test pipes. Several people have done this catback setup with the factory cats. Still sounds good!!

[@brokeboijd6983]

You're in Charlotte im in VB your car is wet im gonna be doing a lot of what you got but im so mechanically inclined its sad

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

You can handle it!

[@benjaminross7930]

Did you get your car printed or is that stock? I just purchased a white Q50 2014 and I love it and I'm ready to start making "mods". Love your ride and videos!

[@benjaminross7930]

Hey, I'm sorry. I meant PAINTED. Stupid voice auto correct. Ha

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Ah, no I have not painted the car. Its a 2015 that I purchased at the beginning of 2018--paint was like new and I've taken care of it, so there has not been a need to paint it.

I didn’t forget. You don’t want tire shine on your tires in driving situations like this.

[@stonedphilosophy5326]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Touche!.. How bad of an idea is it to do an initial fill up with high test gas and then top off with mid every hundred miles or so.. then drain and refill, rinse and repeat.. every 500-1000 miles. I just got my G37XS and didnt fully consider the gasoline situation. So I'm trying to do a life hack here lol. Any thoughts??

[@stonedphilosophy5326]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Yeah probably not... One question though. Do you find the auto transmission lags a bit before switching? I'm assuming it might, being a sport model, to stay in a single gear for a second, anticipating you may continue accelerating harder before it decides to switch... I've never driven a 7 speed so it's a bit different I guess. I'm just hoping I'm not having tranny problems after driving it full manual the first night I owned it, not having it long enough to tell the difference** It's not terrible. It just seems to do it when I'm being conservative

From this set up what fits the 08 G35X?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

What setup? The exhaust?

[@cesarpena702]

@@SpeedCultureStudios yes the exhaust

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@cesarpena702 it’s a custom setup so you can almost fit it on anything. Are you going single exit or you want dual exhaust? You would just want to take a measurement to see how much room you have to fit the borla muffler. There is a smaller alternative if you don’t have the space.
