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

[Avetiso]

Dane's reset tool made it here on Friday around noon. I was home, and no effort was made to deliver; All I got was a "We Missed You" card. Soooo I will be resetting my SRS light tomorrow to test whether it was my wiring harness that was throwing the light in the first place.

I have done it in my garage each time on the ground - and by myself each time - I have done the dead lift while trying to bolt in...and used a jack...the best result was using a trans jack.

If I had known you were willing to come down I would have said lets install it here.

I sent it with one 6 spd output flange - you will need one of yours if 6 spd...if yours is auto then you should be ok with the 2 output flanges currently installed...they pop right out with a slight pop.

I dont have the tracking number in front of me - but if you can find out if it is still at the FedEX/Kinko's location - then I can try to go get it and you can come down...or bring it down at some point

Wheel studs look good Dane!

That would be great! I'll take you up on that! I'm sure you know all of the shortcuts after doing it a few times....Yep, I got a 6 speed....

Preston & I installed a used Dinan Throttle Body on his car, added new upper & lower boots, and cleaned the ICV. Noticeably more power, he really needs a custom tune now to account for his better air flow (AFE CAI & Dinan TB) and exhaust (Magnaflow catback), then I think it will really rock. Installed new whiter & brighter foglight bulbs on mama's x5, she's quite happy with it. Installed a BMW Performance CF strut bar on my car, spent well over an hour custom grinding and shaping that little positive battery terminal connector to get it just right. Then installed my old AC Schnitzer aluminum strut bar on my son's car. Washed mama's ZHP conv, installed her summer wheels (135s), ready for her to stop racking up so many miles on the x5. She's rolled 7K miles since mid Nov, the good news is her conv probably saw less than 500 miles in that same 4 months.

Lots of good stuff going on with everyone's cars... Sounds awesome! I will be post whoring the HELL out of this thread when I get home...

But for today, I bought my car a 10th birthday present, Dinan intake.

Does the throttle body really make that much of a difference on the ZHP? I've heard it's mostly for the 325 but if it's big gains for the ZHP I may look into one

Ahhh, so YOU'RE the one that swiped Stu's throttle body a while back, eh? Bummer, I was really looking pick it up! Also curious if that is what you attribute the gains to, I'm still really interested in getting one for my car...
