Off to bed I go.....

UdubBadger · 03-03-2009, 10:29 PM

seriously, I'll throw down $50 says someone ends up standing in someone else wedding who met on here.

(It'll most likely be Me being Jay's best man when he marries Ben out in Massachusetts for the detailing perks)

Nebster · 03-03-2009, 10:33 PM

mmmmmmmmm perks

Nebster · 03-03-2009, 10:34 PM

oh and as sad as this is, some of my best friends are car guys i've met through forums. its way easy when you have the same interests. YOu always seem to get along a lot better

UdubBadger · 03-03-2009, 10:40 PM

very true... so you're saying youre kinda "in to" Jay huh?

Nebster · 03-03-2009, 10:42 PM

get me drunk enough and i'm into anything

UdubBadger · 03-03-2009, 10:51 PM

hahaha.

on that note I'm gonna go play some MLB 09 The Show.

Night fellas

Nebster · 03-03-2009, 10:54 PM

night guys, i wont be online all tomorrow until night again.

CubanJJ09 · 03-04-2009, 12:23 AM

FUCK, missed all the chatting but ive come back wth more reviews on the new progman. less exhaust noise from a cold start. my shit use to rumble the windows near my house and i could hear it inside. now it sounds a lil deeper than stock (since i have the aftermarket exhaust) definitely hear the turbos spool up more and theres less drone in the cabin around 2-3500 rpms.

also the only time your really hear the exhaust note is when you hammer on it. still have to get use to the jerky gas pedal, this thing just wants to go balls out right away instead of easing out of a stop. but im sure its the tranny adapting to me again. when normal cruising on streets and you need to pass the power is right there waiting for you. but if you mash it to pass then it kickdowns then pulls.

at first i thought it was lag but then i realized its the tranny shifting down thats taking all the time. once it finds the gear its off and running. flashng the ecu removes your prior settings too like, radio station, logic7 equalizer, and the other customizable features.

Vudoo4u2 · 03-04-2009, 12:50 AM

its a shame you drive auto...sucka

CubanJJ09 · 03-04-2009, 01:16 AM

bet u wish u had it when there's stop and go traffic. altho I would like my next one to be but I don't want to fuck it up

Vudoo4u2 · 03-04-2009, 01:53 AM

im such a pro it doesnt matter

ultimate · 03-04-2009, 02:25 AM

hahahaha at reading the last couple pages.

alex, so what are you gonna do about the window trim? diy or shop?

and as far as the cf trim is concerned. who wants to order it?? same thing with window trim if we decide to diy..

Nebster · 03-04-2009, 05:43 AM

i think each person could order it themselves. That way you don't have to rely on anyone else. I may do mine ahead of time. Just so i have a better idea of how to disassemble the interior and can learn some tricks

UdubBadger · 03-04-2009, 09:09 AM

alex you ordering an extra yard of CF fabric for me still?

Dropped the car off this morning. Got a 2009 528i for a loaner, not a bad car, but took me a minute to figure out how the hell to put it into park.
