Spoke to Steve and he said he could fit it for anyone if I intend sell them. The huge metal shadowline strips that go over the windows are perfect and so is the matte grill. You might need to put on new rubbers on the lower windows though you could reuse the existing ones maybe, speak to Steve.
Not sure yet if want to sell them, make me an offer if interested and I'll think about it

Just back from another spin and experiencing the sweet spot at 4500 quite a few times, easily reproucible at about a very legal speed of 60 in 2nd gear, is sweet. I am actually FTP"ing on the 320i now. SBC, MO3, have you tried to check if that slight powerlag on steep slope overtaking that existed pre mods is gone? It's very responsive on the throttle now and I feel the lag shouln't be there anymore

^ honestly I couldn't really feel anything. Maybe sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly perkier but thats probably due to all the nice sounds doing our heads in.

Let me know what you think they are worth mate. Generally the door ones cannot be reused, but I could be wrong.

well, tried the exhaust with baby n wife on board, no exhaust sound complaints whatsover

..the baby slept through it all..I tried the D mode and DS

and it didn't make a difference to our baby...you could also always keep in normal D mode when ferrying baby

which still keeps the grin going and use the DS and manual steptronic modes for your pleasure when by yourself

Did you go 4500 rpm for VTEC YO amd 5000 for some pssssssssssssssssssssssh.??

Suggest you simply change the exhaust and don't mention it to the Mrs, has worked for me for many years

Hell I even told her I was getting a 325, dealer forgot to debadge

. Still took her a few months to work it out.

sbce90 · 01-23-2011, 03:04 PM

^^ wow do you tell your wife about ANY mods? I thought trying to swap the yellow brakes for BMWP ones would be sneaky but yikes, 335 passing as a 325! lol

lol, SBC, you're getting a lot of valuable tips here way early for a happily married life

VGR00 · 01-23-2011, 06:00 PM

I concur - no need to tell wife about mods. Just do it.

sbce90 · 01-23-2011, 06:22 PM

Well surprising the parents is probably just as fun.
