Next Performance mod??

[komodo]

Warning though, Hawk HPS brakes have a known squeeking problem. It can get pretty annoying.

deloriant how much hp do you think your car is putting out with all those mods? Those new headers sound expensive, but will prolly make your car sound even better, just need a track pipe or something.

so know one likes my brake idea? if the brakes are done right the squeaking should not occur.. atleast with the experience i have with them

I agree with the idea to go with brakes, just not your set up.

this set up that JR showed me looks about the same for a lot less.

Well, my car is going to my dad's mechanic next week to get everything related to it's fueling system treated//repalced so I'll probably talk him into doing the ss lines too

Thx for the link and all, but I'd rather not get cross drilled rotors, I hear the eat the living crap our of the pads...

[Rooz]

Well, GOOD NEWS My parents said they'll pay for my tires, so that means I have mroe money to spend on the car now, I could probably do both the chip and the SS lines

Now the choice remains, Bavauto's chip or Shark injector?

[komodo]

shark injector. bavauto is almost an off-brand in software.... conforti shark injector has been around for way longer and installed in countless more cars without issue.

I agree.

[Spieluhr]

JC shark. no questions asked.

[Rooz]

Here is what am going to do:

Probably going to get the Shark injector soon.

Then a little while later on, I'll tell my parents that I need new rotors (which I do, but not right away) And I'll upgrade my rotors to either cross drilled or gas slotted (dunno which is better) and as far as SS lines go, I'll probably order them soon

[B_w.]

how about a new diff. a 3.23 or 3.38 lsd would make your car fly off the line

[Rooz]

I got an auto...

Don't I already have a 3.91 lsd?

I was looking at those too.. ( $599.95 kinda expensive...)

But check this: (From Bavauto)

Our performance headers optimize exhaust flow so your BMW can produce more power. Bavarian Autosport high performance headers are given a proprietary Sterling¨ coating. This coating allows higher exhaust gas velocity, reduces temperatures in the engine compartment and provides greater corrosion resistance than ordinary ceramic coatings. Keeps headers looking new for years and protects against thermal fatigue. Our headers are designed to bolt directly to your engine and stock or aftermarket exhaust systems. For off-road use only.

What the heck do they mean by "For off-road use only"??
I mean, do they mean that it's not street legal or what?

[DEATH2000]

^^^ nope, cause of emmsions regulations. they were desgined for optimal performance on track were theres no regulations to control emmisions

[94bmw325i]

so if Deloriant lives in CA how will he pass emissions? Aren't they really strict over there?
