I just always do an alignment after any kind of suspension work.

This happened to my G once. The issue was a dirty throttle body.

I know...I've got it!! You buy the Typhoon, and tell me which you like better! Then I can choose vicariously through your trial (and error?)!

Ok, so I got my Evo-R diffuser mounted today, and for the most part I'm ecstatic!
I'll post some full pics when I have time but something I noticed after the install is a slight paint bubble on the top of the piece. I will probably be the only person that ever notices it, but it kinda bugs me. What would you do? Require it to be repaired, or don't bother?

Mr.happytheman, I am using the drop-in and the K&N Typhoon is on the way. While Mr.onzedge is scretching his head as hell about the Koni, I will let you know the before&after about the Typhoon as soon as I can. LOL |

Yesterday after dinner I did not have the energy to go back to the garage and finish the ART pipes. Good thing to becuase the forum member that I got them from included two crush gaskets that Tony from Motordyne let me know would not work with his ART pipes. If I pushed forward I would have had an exhaust leak. The problem though is that it is raining and cold today so I do not want to be in the garage plus I had a long day work and my body is sore from wrenching all weekend so no completion of the project today. Hope the storm clears out tomorrow so I can get this baby finsihed.

So there you go. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments and, as always, have a great day. Quote:
Aah, yeah. That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'm going to give them a call/pay them a visit tomorrow and get this straightened out. They guarantee their work, and they are a major chain so it shouldn't be an issue. Besides, if they want continued business from me, (which I've already tale to them about) they will make it right.

A full update on my video yesterday:
I went to Laguna Seca for a 2-day driving school with the BMW GGC club, it went pretty great. It rained the first half of day 2, but otherwise decent weather. I was worried about the car as the first time I tracked it, everything went wrong (oil temp, fuel starvation, stock brakes overheated and burned out so badly they stopped working entirely and I had to limp home with the e-brake..), but the upgrades seemed to fix everything I'm running the stoptech slotted rotors and pads now, and there was *maybe* a tiny bit of fade on one lap, but otherwise were perfect. With the oil cooler my temps were about 220F on the track (160F highway) so nowhere near limp mode. My new sway bars are still at the softest setting, but it did seem to be noticeably flatter in the corners. I'm pretty happy to know my Z can handle a track day now Can't wait for the next one. |
