What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

How do you like them? I've been eyeing some steel and rubber pedal sets, but they're not exactly a necessity.

Not Spenser, but I have the BMW performance pedals as well as the ///M dead pedal. They look cool - that's all I can say about them.

M3 dead pedal arrived and installed today. It wasn't quite as clean as the seller and his pictures led me to believe, but for $35 I'm not complaining.

What mats do you have? I've found that my BMW all weather mats don't *quite* fit properly with the M3 dead pedal and it sort of curls up along the dead pedal. I can sometimes tuck it below the metal bit, but it doesn't seem to stay for long.

Factory carpet mats, but I want some WeatherTechs (had them in every car other than my Volvo). I might pull my old man's WT mats to see if the front lip is too thick or not.

yesterday a buddy came over and helped install the Dinan intake and GAS Gold DISA. i had bought the DISA back from the guy who purchased my salvaged ZHP coupe. the DISA was still in perfect condition.

sucks that i had to buy it back in the first place, but i only paid $155 shipped versus $450 for a new one.

oh and i did not install the down tube on the intake that feeds from the brake duct. that's a lot of work for what i think are probably minuscule gains. i wonder if there's any dyno difference between the intake with/without the down tube installed. can anyone else comment on this?

as-is, the Dinan intake sounds great compared to the stock airbox. and butt dyno feels improved but who knows. could be the new DISA helping as well above 4k RPMs.

Not on my car, but on a friends' 2008 Ford Focus... right rear wheel bearing was shot, just like on the black Touring. Unlike the black Touring though, I did the entire job in 3hrs. Weird design... the bearing is pressed into the drum, which then slips over a spindle that is bolted to the hub assembly.

I love this tool! (please disregard the state of my garage and workbench... i've got too many projects on the go. sigh.)

ordered a front license plate delete strip, new center console and new cupholders from FCP Euro.

i also realized that the brand new Shark Injector i bought is from ECS tuning and is for a 330i. my understanding is that Turner sells an alternate version specifically for the ZHP. can anyone confirm that only Turner sells the correct ZHP version. is the ECS version the same or different?

Based on the review here :https://www.ecstuning.com/b-shark-in...are/n745330~a/

It looks like ECS doesn't have the ZHP version.

I read that too, just looking for confirmation.

just got off the phone with a rep from TMS and he stated there is no "ZHP specific" Shark. the software file is the same for all 330i's (ZHP or not) post-2003.

that review on the ECS site is incorrect.

That's weird, because Turner has a separate option on their site.
