Derbo good to see another car out there on the track. I wish more local zhp guys tracked their cars; they are such a good beginner track car. Balanced and easy on tires/brakes.
...

I half own it. I do the tuning and fabrication, we build lots of racey stuff. That means freeeeee dynoing for ZHP guys haha. If you guys ever want to do a free dyno day for ZHP's let me know.
...

An LSD is great for any performance car but after tracking my ZHP I came to the same conclusion most other e46 non m owners come to. With reasonable driving and good tires, even coming our of a tight...

This is at my shop! Dyno is free! I'll dyno my ZHP too if we have time!

Some of you guys who are performance oriented should come track your cars too. It is a blast

I'm located in socal. I think everyone in this area should bring their intakes and we can test them all back to back on my car on the dyno compared to stock. I'm guessing very little to no...

Funny thing is I spent all day with my car on the dyno. With the bixenons, there is not room to get anything larger than a 2.5" tube down into the brake duct. I tried several combos of short...

It was absolutely phenomenal. I don't know how many BMW's were there but many! Looked like one other ZHP, I didn't look too closely. It was silver and sitting nicely on some well fitted wheels.
...

I know notice couldn't be any later. But for you SoCal types supercar Sunday today's featured marque is BMW. I'm on my phone so I can't post more info. But a group of bmws are meeting at the shop and...

I just got my car back with a new OEM BMW bumper and OEM gloss black grilles with fog light surrounds. I'm pretty happy :-)

Ian

Yeah, north of OC, 57 and 10. If it can be done in a day (I've never done it) we can have a little party and play with our cars. Even dyno them if we have time. The valve cover gasket job is easy,...

I'm going to be doing both, most likely, and I'll dyno before and after. If anyone in socal wants to come do the vanos at the same time with me on a weekend, let me know. I more than have all the...

Well, I believe this wheel and tire package is about 5 lbs per lighter, not sure exactly. These aren't OZ's lightest wheels, but they're obviously less than oem 135's. That said, I only used them...

I bought this setup for use on the track. I did two fifteen minute sessions and have less than 150 miles on them since then (I put my re-finished OEM 135's back on). Since I want another bike,...

This was the part number I got from my dealer: 51132-158542 (3)

Can anyone confirm which it is?

Ian

Yes that is sweet! They should be in tomorrow. How did you get your running lights yellow?

I also ordered a new lower grille. I think a fresh OEM lower grille makes the car look a lot newer.
...

I ordered the OEM BMW ones, I hope they are glossy and not flat so it matches the shadowline.

I'm going to hold off on the CSL trunk, I'm way too afraid of aftermarket carbon fiber lack of...

I'm getting the black grilles from the dealer, very reasonable price.

I'm gonna hold off on the trunk. I don't feel like the lip blends the best.

Thanks for the input!

Ian

Sorry to add to this, but what do you guys think of this? Anyone have any other pics?

I love the CSL...

Is there an OEM or better black front kidney option for my E46 sedan? I can only find the one on turner sells:

Hey fellas, long time no talk. Myself, Eric, and some friends/customers are going to to California speedway to do a track day. I'll be driving my ZHP, Eric his M3, and a few other customers with a...

Ok, so I was going to send my lights to lightwerks and so I was looking for some temp lights while they were out and received this email. I'd really like your guys suggestion on used AL vs e90 bowls....

Ahhh, missed that he got it there.

And maybe the fiberglass version was a little more work. Either way I'll be painting it. The red sedan looks fantastic!

Alright, thanks for the info fellas....

Guys, thanks for the responses.


So which brand CSL trunk do you have? I was thinking some low pressure struts might allow you to have both so it closes evenly. To me, the fitment looks pretty...

Soo.....

Does anyone have one, how's it look and tell me about fitment. I love the style, but want oem like fitment and quality, I don't care about weight savings at all.

Recommendations...

Your rack looks cooler than mine. Do you ride mtn or road? I have a dh/freeride bike that uses normal dropouts and I'm considering getting your style rack. Mine you don't take the wheel off but it...
