It was hard enough on my e92 to do them. And they have a much larger access panel than your e90.

Here is the DIY for the e90

Thank you. Glad I'm working again to get my mods going again. I'm itching bad with the bug

Haha i bet! I bought a ZX-10R for the summer, so glad my e90 is pretty much done, cuz that thing has been taking all my money in mods.

Fender liner comes off really easy. Honestly, now that I think about it yours is probably easier than my e92. I would much rather be able to have full access to it via the fender.

After the shop got the wrong diagram for my wotbox they were kind of iffy about installing it...I just found out the jb4 software is now passable which allows you to gauge hack and log with, but can you use the 2 step feature with it?? If so I can stack the Cobb and jb4. Cobb for tuning and jb4 for 2step and flat foot shift. So we are getting in contact with BMS to figure this out. Until then we aren't installing the wotbox. Why can't COBB just make life easy 😳

idratherbesurfing · 03-26-2015, 09:21 PM

Just talked with Steve at Fuel-it. That guy us truly awesome for making these fueling products. I'll be purchasing the stage 3 hulk kit and running the single pump until I upgrade my turbo. Once that is installed. Its tune time!!!

Precision Tuning just sent me photos of my valves at 46k miles. Looked awful. And the walnut blast made them young again ha. I'll post pics This weekend, right now I'm away for work

Ah dang. Well there's a big meet in freehold on the 19th of this month supposed to be over 900 cars. If you can you should come

idratherbesurfing · 04-04-2015, 08:10 AM

4/4/15

My walnut blasting is done and came out amazing! short shift and CDV are also installed! Short shifter is A LOT shorter of a shift and the cdv makes a world of a difference!! Its almost like it delayed power getting to the ground before! For example, 2nd gear with traction OFF and the stock clutch valve...2000rpms smash the gas and it kind of builds up into losing traction BUT with the CDV installed the wheels litterally just snap lose when i touch the gas! Ill post some more feedback when i get the car back.

myoussef17 · 05-06-2015, 08:02 PM

I saw your car at precision while it was getting walnut blasted, I was there with my WRX and now I plan on going there with my 335. I'm 2 min away from the shop and I used to spend a lot of time there when I had my WRX. Your car is awesome.

idratherbesurfing · 09-07-2015, 06:51 PM

Posted 2 speedo videos. Same mods just a new custom e30 tune.

killbill91 · 09-12-2015, 04:22 AM

Really like your performance mods and numbers you have been achieving. Did you ever get your gas mileage sorted out with the Cobb when you were just using 93oct?
