Nice write up, I couldn't agree more, there is a bigger difference with the diesel also because of the lag!!!

Now that is hilarious!!!! Love it!!!!

There is...it's called PMing, which is what a lot of newbies kept doing and I kept getting tired of responding with what I had on my car. Therefore, the old signature is back baby! Biiiiiiiiiiiiiya!!!!

V,

You should write ad copy for Sprintbooster. That was quite a testimonial and dead on target. All E60.net newbies should be shown a copy of your review!!


B
I don't do ad copies for free. I did, however, write this for all to know, bc I don't remember anyone having an extensive write-up on this mod, all the while it is probably one of the - if not the most popular mod on this forum.

I just have upgraded to a 535 hahaha well, at least in the lower RPMs. The damned thing keeps chirping tires now even with Xi and DCS fully engaged!
Now, if I can only put some money into upgrading a few other things - like higher-rpm range power, brakes and maybe a clutch when it finally wears out, I'll be eating 535s for breakfast... well, most of them anyway, cuz - at least around where I reside - most 5s aren't driven by the kind of people that would be able to even keep up with me. Remember, I learned to drive on underpowered cars with sharp handling - Civic del Sol, '00 Celica GTS - to name a couple - all slow cars unless you know how to milk them properly. I used to dust my friend's supercharged Lumina (we're talking way back in the day, obviously) in my completely stock del Sol WITH an automatic tranny! Come to think of it, maybe I'll buy a stock S2000 as a second car one of these days - my brother in law has one from the original production run with like 8k miles on it - the car looks like its brand new... they make a sprintbooster for that?
