I got my bbs ch's!! Look amazing whats so cool about these wheels are there is a stainless steel lip protector which also looks like a lip but its a ring that is there so if you curb rash your wheels it not the wheel itself it the ring which can be replaced!!

Well I have to replace one ring and it only cost $54 dollars plus shipping from bbs! Dont worry already pmd WSTO see if they can get it for me! But loving the wheels but cant drive in this shitty weather.

THinking about getting 12mm spacers for the rear and maybe springs or coilovers in the summer

[BTM]

Nice...I love CH did you get silver or black?

[wazup773]

matte black. I dont think silver would look good on my car.

So I got the black ones but everything else on my car is black still. SHould I remove the vinyl on my window trim so its chrome again to match the lip on my bss ch? or leave it black and maybe wrap the lip in matte black?

[mkPOTO]

nice sunny, and i think he got black

[wazup773]

thanks markk

[wazup773]

Bri thanks for calling so fast and I am going to pick up the spacers as soon as I can!!

Assuming a proper tune that takes full advantage of either increased octane or downpipes, what amount of octane would you need to go above 93 to make the same amount of power provided by catless AR downpipes. Based on my driving habits and weather (tanks of gas used a year and only needing the power during warmer weather), I wanted to calculate how much it would cost to run a mix 93 and 100 octane for the same gains. Then compare this the cost of dps and installation.

Assume a car with only an FMIC and intake.

That's tough...as I understand DPs work to accelerate the exhaust out faster, and increased octane works to keep temperatures lower...so they are doing different things. How easy is it for you to get race gas? I'd think from just a convenience and day to day cost/benefit the DPs would be the way to go...lag is very reduced, which you get to experience all the time. Increased octane on the other hand is necessary for extreme situations, like tracking, but I don't believe the day to day benefit will be very noticeable.

Thanks brian. It's pretty easy, any gas city has 100. For the same cost over three years I could run 95 octane for 7 months a year.

[BTM]

Yea the exact conversions I don't know, whether it's even possible to estimate accurately is beyond me. I would go with the DPs and run higher octane for HPDE and or really hot weeks in the summer...otherwise for street driving the tune can probably capitalize on the freeing flowing exhaust more effictively

still snowing ehhhh

[BTM]

yup...def glad I put the z4 away when I did

[wazup773]

^good idea!! SUmmer tires sukkk in the snow even if it only snowed a half inch!

huge difference with q16 and 93, i would run race gas to see what kind of power you make, on my old supra setup i made a difference about 80-100whp on the tune, but race gas does get expensive

eh its only paper

That is hot, but it loses its luster because of the stupid naked avatar.

What would be hotter is a porsche. There - is - NO - substitute.
