i have mine for about a month.
i do not expereince what you mentioned. smooth pick up and acceleration after replacing.
maybe i have that sprint booster installed and need to check whether my remapping hs been removed or programmed back to stock.
I too had the Hurricane Filter and I understand that we are supposed to wash it with soap water and a powerful jet every X km... Does anyone know how long is that? Will J4C do it for free? Afterall they only charged $120+GST for the filter...

Maybe the car is still trying to adapt to the change in air flow. Anyway, I have been driving mainly in city traffic the past week and that could be cause of the slow pick up. I must say that once I have hit a higher speed above 60 km/h, the car feels more responsive and powerful.

Do remember, our rides has a 10+ start/stops memory to adapt to the driver's habits.
drive it for a length of period and see how it performs.

Guys,

does anyone know the best (and cheapest) way to repaint my Titanium Silver E60 to a Jet Black color? what kind of costs should I be expecting and which place does it well? Do I need to submit application to LTA?

Great!!! Pls let us know how it performs as you wear it out
I'm running on 19" Sport Maxx.... well, overall quite pleased with the tires..... streets ahead of the old CSC2 I used to have..... the CSC2 were noisy and I had them running on 17" only...... Handling was alright.....

I dunno whether its me or not but I seem to be able to skid the Sport Maxx quite easily..... but overall quite happy with it.... have been on it for the last 6k km.......

goto to Mike SWC in Ubi. or Lye in West coast.

Of course you need to apply from LTA la.

If not, you can do alot of illegal operations like vandlism or stealing people's mods and yet claimed that the car is not yours as you are driving a ti colour instead of BlacK!! how old is your ride btw?
Or is it that your ride is full scratches made by angry husbands?
