New Mods - United Bimmer Community

**komodo** · 06-14-2005, 03:58 PM

In case some of you don't check the E36 section, I'll put this thread up for a bit to try and ease some of you out to the other forums.... in this case regarding some new mods I'm about do be doing to my car.

First of all I just ordered a brand new AVIC-N2 headunit:

Then I ordered a UUC System U exhaust:

And I'm considering a few other mods:

Right now sitting in my garage is an M50 manifold, UUC pulleys, an M3 XBrace and a few other things i've ordered but haven't had time to install yet. I'm planning on getting all that on, and doing a fan delete, and replacing my water pump and thermostat. I'm also considering doing S52 cams. That install spree is coming later this week or maybe early next week. In the mean time I'm probably gonna be ordering a few more things over the next day or two to get everything here so we can install it all at one time. I can't wait.

Oh yeah, and I'm probably going to order an oem m3 spoiler either tonight or tomorrow.

Edit: And I called Global Imports (a local dealership) an hour ago or so to discuss ordering a Dinan High Flow Throttle Body.

Wow, practically replacing the whole car

**komodo** · 06-14-2005, 04:06 PM

Two other small things I just remembered I have laying around that I need to get installed are my AC Schnitzer Petals and Umnitza DDE Remote-On (so my angel eyes fade on and off when i lock and unlock my car via remote).

Let me know when you order your spoiler and who you get it from, I am planning on getting one by end of the month

komodo, couldn't you just sell your car and get an M3 with all the money your dropping on mods?

Yep! But it's more fun to mod a car and have money left over than buy a car and drive it around.

Nah, the actual reason I don't get an M is the insurance would be a bitch. I'm an 18 year old male.

witeshark · 06-14-2005, 04:36 PM

I was gonna post that about insurance

I just bought the Voice Control device for my headunit.

If you own the Pioneer AVIC-N1 or AVIC-N2 DVD/navigation receiver, you know just how powerful it is. And now you can up the utility quotient by adding the Voice Command Pack to it. The Pack lets you control the navigation functions of the receiver simply by speaking. On-the-fly adjustments have never been easier — and safer.

The Pack features a wired microphone that plugs directly into the AVIC-N1 or AVIC-N2, plus wire guides and a microphone stand/clip. You can clip the microphone to your sun visor, mount it on the steering column (behind the steering wheel), or place it anywhere that provides it clear reception (as long as it doesn't interfere with vehicle operation). The self-adhesive wire guides keep the microphone's wire neatly tucked away for a clean installation.

Also included is a wireless remote that mounts conveniently on your steering wheel (the mount is included, too), along with installation and operation instructions. Warranty: 1 year.

Nice

*Just bought some S52 M3 cams for my car*

Now those should give it a nice kick in the ass for power. ;D The software is expensive though.

**Chris** · 06-15-2005, 12:32 AM

it hardly sounds like you're worried about expensive parts at the moment though harry... besides, it's a bimmer, its worth every cent...

My friend has that in his A4. It's sweet as hell. The voice command takes some time to get used to your voice, but works amazingly once its all set.
