:verysad:

 

[Tanzy]

Geoff Ang,
What else to do? Hmm...
Have you done air filter?
I know you have not touch the exhaust. Remus, Hamann, Supersprint, AC Schnitzer? Should cost in the region of $1500. Very dramatic mod. Comes with heck of a lot of noise.
Bodykit?
Infinitas supercharger? :laughlik:
Brakes better leave it to later. Troublesome.

 

[Geoff Ang]

filter gettin installed tomorrow... pulleys not in yet! BVO ordered but not in yet!
i am ready for more noise man... feel the zed is a little tame... can scream a tat more... hehe!!!
will consult bernard(BVO boss) tomorrow... wanna have breakie/coffee with me there at 10.30am at sin min?
we can talk cork with bernard... about all the questions we have!

Geoff Ang,

Drop-in filter or open pod?

Exhaust is guarantee more noise. How loud depends on brand. Easy and fairly quick to do. Want Remus, go to Fong Kim. ACS exhaust is the same thing as Remus but with different tip. Can buy from PML and let them fit to keep your warranty or fit it outside for a cheaper price. 6 cylinder engines sound real sweet compared to 4 cylinders.

Would love to go but I have quite a bit of backlog to do in office cause didn't work today. Remember to share the latest mod stuff news on Sunday.

 

[Geoff Ang]

drop-in 1st lah...
will see what bernard says tomorrow about my options!
no worries dude... gotta show paps that u workin sometime... hehe!!

 

[MRacer77]

wow... what have u done now tanzy... BBKs???
brembo's? how much huh? i feel like doin too!
mracer, how am i doin with the lingo!!! kekeke!!!

You doing very well with the Lingo.

Tanzy, you got a BBK kit for all 4 wheels or just the fronts? If just the fronts you have to be careful of the changed brake bias.

 

[Tanzy]

Geoff Ang,

Drop-in should be good for city. Less noisy, more low end but not as good at high revs than open pod.


MRacer77,

Just the front at the moment. Trying to get the rear. It will be a modified E46 Bimbo rear with 294mm disc.

 

[Racebred]

When a BBK is only installed at the front, you can feel the front doing most of the work, but only if you pay very close attention to the car when it's doing hard braking. A cheap and simple way to increase the braking hp of the rear is to change to a gripper set of rear pads.

however the best and chioest way is to find a bigger rear disc and matching calipers, and best option is from the 3.0L brakes.

Tanzy,

Cool, but why you went with the Brembos? Did you consider APs or even Mov-its?
