W'sup with all the quote's but no reply?

Do it every 30k. Don't listen to what the dealership tells you. BMW claims that their tranny fluid is a "lifetime fluid" and doesn't ever have to be replaced/serviced....cmon now. Is that based on them assuming that if I can afford a BMW that I'll buy a new one in 5 years/100k?

Small cats or resonator's? Intake, headers and exhaust can be felt through your butt dyno. It's bread and butter though....there's more power to be had.

Can't you just throw an aftermarket sub in the rear deck, run a seperate amp and LOC?

Huh?

Wheel should of stopped but was there wheel heavy when you spun it?

FORD = Fix Or Replace Daily. :P

Measure the thickness and if you're still within specs then turn them. I never turn my rotors because you're not suppose to with BMW's. But I'd replace them even it wasn't a bimmer. It's only a few extra bucks.

In Cali you're no longer required to have an intake sporting a CARB sticker. As long as your aftermarket intake has all the "stock" vacuum lines running to it then it's considered a visual pass. This exemption took place well over a year ago. A lot of smog techs are not aware of this and will most likely "fail" you.

Put the stock filter back on and see if it makes your car feel any faster. But really, maybe it feels slower cuz it's not boosted yet.... :whistles:

What was it that seemed off about the pics to you then?

Yea, I know....this is going to be one hell of a debate. If you read carefully, flow shouldn't be mistaken for actual PSI. That PSI spec you read is for resistance within the pump and rack cylinders....not base system pressure (about 150psi). There are "check valves"....but that's beside the point. PSI would be a stuck valve or counter reaction of the rack cylinders (resistance). Honestly, you had my mouth shut for a minute....but I searched around and found that astonishing article. 1000+ psi is possible, but 1000+ psi flow is something else. Pressure is caused when there is no other possible method of "flow"...thus resulting in resistance (PSI). You're saying that your P/S line is constantly "pressurized", at 1300+ psi? Possible. But wouldn't a 1300+ psi "flow rate" seem more rational? Just means that the fluid should hypothetically flow at the rate of what an open ended 1300+ PSI system would produce...when one side of the sealed system was abruptly "cut" open....even though at no point that hose had 1300+ psi internally present. Threadcounter, even if those specs were based off of the check valve closed....does it state on which side of the check valve those numbers were taken off of? 1000+ psi in a P/S pump....that's probable. 1000+psi in a rubber hose no, but 1000+psi fluid flow I can accept. SRK, the tank system on the scuba gear may be capable of 4500psi, 3000 psi tank and 1500 psi hose...right? 3000psi tank I can believe, I mean those things are heavy as hell. 1500 psi Within the hose? Not to cause an arguement or anything but I honestly don't think that it's possible. To be reasonable....I'd say 3000psi in the tank and 1500psi Flow within the lines. 1500psi would blow your lungs out...not a good feeling huh? That's where the check valve would come into play. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong. But I'm going put up a fight until then. I'm not going for a win or loss. We obviously have different opinions. I'm not saying that you're right or neither am I. I'm just here to understand the things that neither you nor I am aware of. BTW, I love whiskey on the rocks.

Sounds like radial pull. Try swapping the tires from left to right. If it still pulls to the right then there's probably an alignment issue. If it pulls to the left then one of the tires is defective.

The water is too green...wheel should of been balanced with sticker weights and only the rear windshield is tinted. Yea, I have more pics....I'll PM them to you when I get home.

Reverse

Lower it then have a shop box your stock sways.

Go to Lexus and purchase the coolant there. No, don't mix it with green coolant. You're welcome.

60-65%

If 95% of the time your foot isn't on the gas...then there's no need for any of those mods. You wouldn't feel the other 5%.

What does P0402 stand for? I'm too lazy to look it up.

If those specs were for the actual P/S line then I'll keep my mouth shut and I apologize...my bad. But....yes there's gonna be a but, are those numbers for the steering rack psi, high pressure hose or P/S pump? It isn't specific, it just shows fluid pressure. There's "pressure" through every single line...so which one does the spec actually refer to? The high pressue hose is secured by a weak 10/12mm bolt....cmon now, 1000psi on a 10/12mm bolt is ludacrous. I just can't imagine 1000+ psi in an aluminum line or rubber hose. I mean, a steel hose of the same thickness can't even maintain that amount of pressure safely. 1000+ psi in a 30 gallon air compressor wouldn't be a friendly situation. The rubber hoses can only handle 300 psi or so. We all know how thick the walls of an air compressor is and the compressor is still unable to hold that psi. I hope y'all don't think that I'm coming off as a dickkk. I'm not trying offend anyone. I just don't want confusion. 1000+psi is no joke.

That's your car?
