Well as I said, European Car achieved the results, not me or someone I knew. Here is the segment of the project. Of course this is the one segment they do not show the dyno graph (every other time they show graphs), but they state the gains were found on a dyno. I trust them as a reputable magazine. The entire project is a very interesting read, especially the early stages of bolt-ons, etc.

oh ok so that's normal? i've tried it without cats (pop was loud), with resonator there's still there. the guy from the muffler shop told me that i need to look at my engine or something. the guy said about the timing of the engine so i thought i'm have problems with it.

There was also a dyno test in the Track Forum a few months ago that showed 13 rwhp gain. I don't know what to make of that test and the EC test versus other tests showing no gains. In theory, there must be gains, so I am more surprised by the results showing none.

Brake Fluid Light/ Brakes sticking
Published (2009-11-28 18:37:00)
While ther could be other causes of the brakes sticking, the most common cause is one or more sticky calipers. Rebuilding or replacing them is the fix. If the level is fine in the reservoir, the level sensor is probably bad.

how to read ASC codes?
Published (2009-11-28 17:37:00)
MSRP is more like $20k... but you can use a laptop with a carsoft/vag com cable and get the same results, or buy a GT1 off of fleabay for ~$800.

too good of a deal?
Published (2009-11-28 14:34:00)
If it gets listed on ebay then maybe it's real but seriously it sounds way to much like a scam. Look on ebay on their FAQ section. They list they don't offer 3rd party insurance and Paypal. I wouldn't trust that amount of money unless you paid with you CC.

Thanks for the help guys....

It looks exactly like the AA bar except for the carbon fiber part. It may be an earlier version of their all aluminum bar. The strut mount and the bar itself look exactly like it though.

I got braided stainless line from TMS and honestly felt no quantifiable difference in feel. Perhaps a liiiittle firmer? But may have been in my head.

i have uuc pullies and of course you won't notice any difference...but every little bit helps since you are freeing up lost hp...uuc sells blemished sets (new and unused, but may have a scratch on it from the factory) for decent prices...they can't be seen and they perform the same, so why pay more for a perfect set?

Have the codes read as this could be any of a number of things. If the light has been on, even briefly, there should be a stored code.

Get on your local board (towards the bottom of the main page) get a good BMW shop in the area recommended to you and take it there.
It costs more initially to take it to a good shop, but in the long run its cheaper than listening to idiot mechanics and or shotgunning parts at the car.

nice
i made my own kit, decided to delete some of the vacume lines while i was in there too, so i didnt use much hosing. Took me about 4 hours of labor to take it off/make lines/install.
I like mine so far, but the car is kinda begging for a slighly higher rev limiter (still stock ECU/software)
Def a power increase higher up in the rev range. Would do it again.
get a ASC delete ...

i installed mine on my back with the car on jackstands. the hardest part is the rusted bolts. spray with liquid wrench or pb blaster and let it soak for a good amount. its simple after that. jus bolt on.

How does a 97 have collector plates? I thought the closest you could get would be Hobby plates.

You can call it "falling for it" when someone puts down the $$ and doesn't receive it.
I've found 3 of my 4 BMWs through craigslist, and everytime it was one of those "seems too good to be true" deals...I have 3 running 318i e30s for less than $700 combined.
But you are right about CL being littered with scams.

hi everyone
i just fabricated an underbody panel out of aluminum and wanted to share some pics.
the job was a little time consuming but not very difficult. the best part is it was practically free aside from some fasteners. i got the aluminum from work and made a template out of cardboard. i made brackets that attach to the frame out of ...
