The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

I used to do that at the drag strip back in the day... we'd even hose down the radiator to get the car as cool as possible for the next run

Bag of ice on the intake :)

Park car underwater.

Yea the Subaru guys at my autox always spray down the intercooler before every run.

That's exactly the description I would use on the 2005. I started with the tie end rods and then just swapped out every thing. HUGE difference in steering feel.

Even the wife could tell the difference ��

Anyone know why my sigpic is being shrunk? I didn't have this problem until today. Actual photo size is 700 x 479, 110kb; well under limits.

No idea

Anybody else's VANOS solenoid rusting? Both of mine are.

Rob (socket head) warned me about the ones that come from Dr. Vanos. They strip them down and are prince to rust. I coated it with a clear lacquer to help prevent that. Maybe you can sand it and do the same?

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous
