What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

[Meric]

I don't like these questions

I asked because I'm working on coding the ECU not because im going to max out the car.. I'm getting really good at coding e46's and now trying to do stuff with ECU modifications..

I will preface this by saying I do not encourage behavior of this sort, I was younger and much less mature at the time...
I went appx 155-160 on the 15 after passing Primm/stateline about 4 years ago. Late January, cold thick air... the car got up to speed fine but did not handle that nice at extreme speed on that stretch of road. I blame aerodynamics for the issues I had at speed. Hell, M3 GTRs (600hp monsters) would only get up to around 190 on the stretch between the gantry and bridge (Green Hell reference)
Edit: Honestly Meric, to give you an example you will better understand it would be like one of your buddies saying then went top speed in a Cessna. If you want to go fast, find a car that can do 200. That is the true measure of driving a fast car.

Yea I heard e46 sucks at aerodynamic and drag is it true?

Meric posting about going flat out? ...you couldn't pay me to ride with that lunatic.

Dude whats up with you and me asking something related with speed?? Nobody pays you sh!t to get inside my vehicle.. Did I say anything about me maxing out the car? I asked because People were saying ZHP's dont have speed limiter.. Get your shit together and stop dealing with me..

Meric I'm starting to doubt how smart you really are.

Take it to a track if you are planning something please.

It's just something related with ECU Programming.. I'm really interested in coding now im into ECU..

If you were smart, you'd already know that ZHPs have a 155 mph limiter.

How does that have to do with me being smart???
+ If you were smart you'd put a S54 Engine instead of M54..

Oy! This all could have been prevented had A, the question been specific ("Does anyone actually know if there's a limiter on the E46 because I'm coding something and want to know?) and B, had we simply asked "Why do you want to know?" instead of jumping to conclusions.

Really though...Meric never said he was thinking about going fast. Everyone just bit on it. He just said, "I'm on to something". I never got he was going to try to attain max speed (though his history may lead one to believe otherwise).

Name calling will now stop in this thread.

Meric, If you feel like sharing your specific thoughts, please do so.

Thanks.

Meric,

I think it's awesome that you're going all out trying to learn how to code the E46! Props to you man Just be careful when messing around the ECU.....proceed with caution brother...

Looking forward to seeing what you learn from coding!

That's fine, and sorry if I came off harsh, just don't want to see anything bad happen. I remember what it was like being in my early adolescence, topping out cars on the interstate... It's not a good road to go down (sorry for being puny).

Just stay safe man. If you want ECU help I can alway introduce you to Jerry our boss at Eurocharged.

On a side note the "Frank-intake" has hit a bump - need to order a few more parts to make it happen. I took out the GruppeM I sold to Ryan to clean it up for him and was just gonna run the stock airbox till I get the rest of the parts. Went and dug it out of my crawl space and noticed an oiled K&N drop in filter in there.

So at least I'm not fully stock now in that regard... I'm willing to bet I could see a few extra ponies even.

Ry, I wish I could do this now but will have to look several years down the road - daughter finishing HS and then going to college...

perhaps after that...

Can't wait. We'll be here!
