Derbo's ZHP

Even better!

I have two unrelated questions with regard to this video:



1. What is the intake/exhaust setup in this video at this point? GruppeM + what exhaust, UUC TSE3?
2. Where was the mic mounted for this?

1. Gruppe M Intake only. I love the sound it makes!
2. Throwback Thursday Pic time! It's mounted right near the intake on the bumper and with the sealed GoPro shell too!

Hey man, did you experience any power loss with the tse3? I installed mine yesterday along with a k&n drop
In filter and I noticed my car got slower. Doesn't feel as responsive as it did with the stock exhaust. I thought I was supposed to gain not lose :/.

1. Huh, well it sounds great! I suppose it really does have to do with mic placement. I'm surprised it could come through the sealed case that well. I'm planning to plop my new-to-me Gruppe M over winter break, I'm excited.
2. Looks good!

When I installed the corsa exhaust I felt the engine revved more freely, could be placebo but it definitely didn't reduce the power output...

It's super weird. My vanos needs to be redone I know that. But even with the stock exhaust I could give it a little gas and it would respond quick. Now it lags. I don't get it.

To be fair, with my fair share of driving other faster cars, it was hard to say the almost negligible difference in power. If anything, I would imagine you lose a little bit of lower end torque and gain some better performance up top since the exhaust can breathe a little better. But besides the point, I just enjoy the sound.





Edit:

My ARC8 arrived today and I have scheduled an appointment for new tires Monday.

Update:

Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245/40/17 were installed on my APEX ARC8s. Apex has an unofficial program to exchange a damaged rim with a new one for 50% off MSRP. I initially emailed APEX in hopes for a discount for a cracked rim and when they replied back with this program, I could not refuse. Welding the crack would've cost me around $100 and now a new wheel was somewhere on the verge of $130. Can't argue with that! It ain't a worth post without pics, so here are 3.








Also work was slow today and I had my OBDII cable so I fiddled with NCSexpert.


I modified a few values today. In one of the coding threads, Ryan mentions modifying the MK60 gear torque values to the M3 values. I never did that and been pending for over 2 years. I added the M3 values to C04 DATEN files and threw the option 4 and 3 on the parameters. I drove it around but I have no idea if it is changed anything yet since I didn't activate DSC yet. I found it interesting when I read the KMB parameters, the SCHEWELL_2 was not present. I modified the aktiv data value from 00,FF to 01,1F per terra's suggesting in one of the older threads. This value is from a Z4 and seems to activate BFD stage3 right before ABS. I had to add it manually to the MAN file and write it in.

MK60_C04:
GEARMOMENTREGLER_MAX_HA_2	wert_01 -> wert_04  Data Value 07
GEARMOMENTREGLER_MIN_HA_2	wert_05 -> wert_03  Data Value 08

AKMB_C08:
GRENZWERT_VERZ_SCHEWELL_2       aktiv               Data Value 00,FF -> 01,1F

I'll have to test all of these soon.

Cheers and Happy New Years fellas!

I hope to get a new commuter soon and work on Euro City Lights for this car. :D

Still really impressed by that program.

It is the bmw software.

I think he's talking about the Apex exchange program.
