Thanks man, so far that's basically what I've read. Did you see many issues with lightened flywheels? There are so many cheap options, and the info I've seen so far is all over the place; some say its OK, others say it ruins the tranny & driving experience...

mine had an Exedy clutch and ltw flywheel in it and it was fine, the engine was noticably more responsive. just stay the heck away from manual boost controllers. and blow off valves. the engines do feel sluggish until around 2700-3000k but then the boost kicks in and its like wooooooooooooooosh.

Ryan... · #**2878** 08-23-2011, 11:01 AM

Ok, then I'll probably just stay away from the LTW because that one has a newish clutch.

Whats wrong with BOVs? I really like the whhhooooosshhhh ppsssssspsps noise

BOVS steal power because subies use a boost re circulation pipe that recycles the boost between shifts. essentially it takes the boost you could have been using and just vents it out of a cool sounding horn.

Ryan... · #**2880** 08-23-2011, 11:07 AM

Well that sucks

Arent there some recirculating BOVs out there? (I'm a complete boost noob lol)

Ryan... · #**2882** 08-23-2011, 11:12 AM

Ok thanks broseph, I'll keep that in mind as I imagine all the cool mods I want

CoolStanceBro · #**2883** 08-23-2011, 12:33 PM

Turbo Subies !!!!

FTW

And that's hella cheap Ryan...

They have N/A Subies here for that price...

And the Turbo ones are all devirginized.

I approve!!!!

Ryan... · #**2884** 08-23-2011, 01:10 PM

Subies seem to be the only other brand that seemingly ALL bmw owners approve of

CoolStanceBro · #**2885** 08-23-2011, 01:20 PM

They are easy to maintain... parts are relatively cheap, that can haul ass when they are properly tuned and TURBO!!!

I'm loving how cheap mods seem to be, even the quality brand name things.

Poorboysracing · #**2888** 08-23-2011, 01:41 PM

bug eye's are my favorite body style

Ryan... · #**2889** 08-23-2011, 01:43 PM

its really growing on me, I could go grab it as soon as this weekend

Mods I know I'd be getting: Grimmspeed catless up pipe, 3" turbo back exhaust, Godspeed coilovers, Software (undecided on brand), and I found some el cheapo 17" CSL type reps with the proper bolt pattern/offset for $220 locally

Poorboysracing · #**2890** 08-23-2011, 02:55 PM

What tuners are you thinking of?

Nice looking car though, the silver one. I've always liked that body style.

cj.surr · #**2895** 08-23-2011, 06:50 PM

I can't wait to look at this car this weekend. The guy said the price is negotiable, and if I can get it for less than 1k, it would be a steal. Tons of good parts. (It's a 5 speed, too.)

FenderBender · #**2896** 08-23-2011, 07:02 PM

I'd so take that.

For software? Cobb seems to be the most trusted, but its also $590

FenderBender · #**2898** 08-23-2011, 07:49 PM

Yea my cousin has the Cobb, only stage one, it's a nice unit. TONS of features. That's what I would personally go with.

Time2Fly · #**2899** 08-24-2011, 06:26 AM

OMG I really want one of these....GT14 BMW M3
