Here we go again..

Well after promising myself that I wouldnt modify this car, its started..

I already have a Procede (v1), but I have just ordered:

- AFE Dry Stage 2 intake kit
- EBC Greenstuff F&R Pads
- DBA 5000XS's F&R Rotors
- ST V1 Coil Overs (Thanks Don)

Plus a few spares, filters etc

Shortly to follow are:

- M3 OEM Front & Rear Anti Sway Bar
- FMIC (undecided)
- Diff (undecided)

I have to work out if I want to stay with the V1 Procede, or shift over to the V2 and get all the new maps..

Damn you mod bug.. damn you to hell!

Will do.. I've read a few reviews and the general consensus is that they give a fairly compliant ride.. we will see I guess!

Ordered m3 suspension kit the other day should be here shortly from bmminiparts stage1.
It will be Interesting to feel the difference even with the negative camber and stronger bushings not sure on sway bars yet. thow the m-sport suspension handles great anyway.

That's awesome, keen to hear how handling improves.

I'm now running methanol and have an Amuse Ericsson CF boot going on soon

Hows the methanol conversion going? I must admit that its extremely tempting.. even with the upgrade cost to Procede V4 its still great bang for buck

Mate, to be honest I would update to Procede revII V4 asap. It really is significantly better and has a few extra goodies including auto tunining. Shiv should give you an upgrade discount.

I thought the meth would be hard on the car and give a surge in power like NOS but it's not like that at all. It lowers the IAT and increases octane resulting in more consistant power and boost. The acceleration is insane. It is also really quite smooth with the procede's progressive mapping and I get no backfire or any other negative side effects and am peaking 17.5psi. Just be sure to wear your brown jocks

Just emailed Shiv.. will see what comes back.

And brown jocks not required, I'm still running the open diff as soon as that has been rectified, it should be a whole different story!
