    FYI, the vinyl bra might wear the paint off the inside of your front fenders. One of the previous owners of my car used one and you can see where the paint has completely worn off the inside edge of the fender when you open the hood.

    My dyno runs show no significant gain by raising the rev limiter. All that will do is get you a little higher in the RPMs on the next shift. I noticed no difference in throttle response. I did notice a 2 MPG increase in fuel economy...
    Also, the tune is tied to the VIN of the car so you can't transfer it to another car and you have to have an authorized Dinan dealer install it.

    Thanks Rob! I got a quote from an authorized Dinan dealer and they quoted me approximately $200 for the software and labor. But since you are saying you didn't notice any difference, I think il skip it.

    If you are looking for a slight performance bump, I am happy with the AA s/w, and Eurocharged (which came out for sale after) said they actually worked with AA on theirs. The butt dyno feels slightly peppier (is that a word? ), there is a little more growl with a Perf Intake, and my MPG actually got better. I later added the Dinan STEP s/w but that is another story, along with other mods likely pulleys, etc.

    From my reading, alternator pulleys might last a bit longer than the other ones. Are they not ball-bearing? Is there a recommended mileage for preventative maintenance?

    The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

    Can somebody please help me fix this, it's killing my insides every time I walk out in front of my car with the light on.
    For some reason there are a couple of finger print smudges on the xenon bulbs on the left side of my car and I have no idea how to wipe them off. But gosh does it bug the hell out of me

    You have to dissemble the lights and clean the inside of the lens...

    Lol. OCD is a bear.

    Pretty easy to get the lenses off after you pull the light housing out.

    Someone touched the projector when installing those AEs. You'd have to bake open the headlight, clean the projector lens, and then bake it to seal it back together. Make sure you add some fresh butyl seal or you'll probably have some fogging/condensation.
