Not a lot... everything's just so expensive. I found a front lip that I really want, but of course it's pricey. I really want to pick up a JB3 so I guess I better start saving.

Daniel I think you need to check out a PROcede Rev. II CANbus PNP from Vishnu tuning. Seems Shiv pretty much turned his attn to BMW when the 335 came out.

Yea, it doesn't seem like a whole lot of people on the forums use the Procede but I really haven't done that much research into it. I think the JB3 may be the forum favorite just for its simplicity and it price relative to some of the other systems

yes but i know vishnu does some incredible things and it seems to be alot more versatile than anything. I have done some reading on it and im not sure the price difference but it being a full PNP piggyback is nice and they offer a 15 day trial, if you dont like it they will do a full refund. This goes back to the age old follow the leader on the forums thing. Do what works for you, not what everybody else is doing. I think it would help for ya to give em a call

Yea, I really just haven't researched the other options that much but I'm in no hurry to mod this car because I really like this BMW free service and warranty lol We'll see once I get some more money. Right now I'm just glad the wheel/tire situation is straight

What's it take to get some Robert professional photos? Maybe even a BMW/Mitsu shoot.. I know you've gotta be itching to shoot those baller Volks

Thanks Ali, Daniel, and Justin.

A time is all it takes, and i'll take care of the place. This weekend is pretty much your last chance for '09. And we'll have to do the shoot between 4:30 and 5:30. Lemme know.

Whoa, sorry i guess i typed it wrong... the driver's side of the downpipe was hitting the right side of the transfer case. It was a very small spot that was touching but it was bangin pretty hard. What i think was happening was that the exhaust would shake at a certain frequency and it was bouncing back and fourth between the TC and the tie bar. I think it was vibrating and hitting the TC violently enough to where the hits were what i was feeling through the pedal.

I bought about twice as many washers and some longer bolts to space out the tie bar even more and pushed the exhaust down with the existing rubber hangers. I'll post a pic tonight for ya, honestly i think it's only a temporary fix... Those rubber things won't stay in place for ever.

A lot of the guys on the forums were dc5 owners too, why don't we have a bigger get together sometime in january with the rsx guys too? People keep asking for a meet on those forums as well.

As a former DC5 owner, that sounds like a good idea to me. How about the end of January.. the weekend of the 23rd or 30th?

Also, I'm free this weekend if you want to try to get together. As of right now, it's not supposed to rain Friday, Sat., or Sunday. Of course, that's subject to change 20 mins from now haha
