Lets discuss with AK47 and see what he says. I was totally lost while reading the article.

BTW, I will be at AK47 on Monday afternoon to install the sway bars & the cables for the HID fog. Anyone want to come down for a chat, feel free.
will be there.
what time about?

Hi guys, after staring at my recently "whitened" angel eyes last night for sometime, I have decided to change it back to the original ones, the reflection tubes of my angel eyes seem to have oxidized or something, it is a little yellowish still even after I changed to the led version

Anyone interested in those led lights?
maybe ricky1329

damping is the key, the stock pulley absorbs vibration from the engine, especially that at its natural frequency. you need to find out whether the mod part has any damping. if it doesnt, then you need to find out what effect it would have to the engine running without damping.
I think we use the same pulley and lighten it.
not changing to a new 1.
Billy said he has seen many cars lighten the ome pulley, no need to get mod 1s or change to new 1s

Seasons greetings from beijing enjoying some snowboarding, any pressies like carbon fibre bits from the wife?
KC man, I tested a 323i before, it has some go, I would recommend some new alloys like yokohamas they look good in graphite, would spice up your car
Cheers
bill - you are the man, always like dangerous sports. top end of 323 is good but torque at low end sucks so as long as I keep the rev high, its ok (the s mode is very useful). could you tell me a bit more about the alloys, how they compare to works? was talking to david about brake pads, think I have decided on either red stuff or axxis. do you or do you know anyone had tried these 2 and what the feedback were, especially interested to hear from those who had used them on track.
