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

I've been told a single 3" catback would yield extra power. I'm still new/learning how pipe sizes affect power.....what a science!!

It's all about the merge. After the headers you want the 2.05" pipe to merge into a big single (3-4"). The pinch point is what creates the scavenging that will further increase the effectiveness of catless headers. All of that velocity is joined together and the pulse of the exhaust should mesh together at the merge and you get MOAR POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! After the merge, you can do whatever you want. It's all about sound after that.

Reset my airbag today. Hoping it doesn't come back.

I got a light once from moisture. I cleared it and it never came back. Here's to hoping you have the same luck!

Nice. Resetting mine next! I accidentally set mine off when I had an issue with the ribbon cable swapping out clock springs. Got a new clock spring so I wouldn't have to deal with a potential cable issue.

My SRS light decided to just shut off today.

Plasti-Dip letters didn't come out NEARLY what the spoiler did. I think I'll be re-doing those, this time with more patience and thinner coats.

Yeah the trick is not to coat what you're painting in one go. I make sure every coat looks like more of a splatter of fine dust. I'll just keep doing it until it's coated slowly. Also for the letters are small so you want fine spray. Heat up your plastidip with a microwave heat pack or hot water. The warmer the paint the finer the spray. Small letters can't afford large droplets. I get the paint so it's mildly hot to the touch but warmer than just warm.

Water boils at 100C and freezes at 0C so I try to get the paint to 45-50C.

Thanks Trevor, I'll keep that in mind.

I did leave it in the sun to warm up a bit. But likely not enough.

I want to dip my car orange. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Yuck, just saw their shades of orange. Screw that.
