I finally found a shot of my ZHP I was happy with. Thought I'd share.

'04 BMW 330i ZHP.

I kind of figured the "HP" part was "high performance". You plan on getting some performance extras for it?

Not much. I picked up this car planning to keep it pretty much stock. Besides, BMW already tweaked most of the things I would change about a 330i anyway in the ZHP package.

It can use a 3.38 or 3.46 LSD, since the stock LSD is open and very mild 3.09. Other than the rear end, there is not much out for the car right now anyway except intake/exhaust. No software yet. I am very happy with the exhaust on the ZHP, so that just leaves intake when the software is available.

There is supposed to be a killer twin screw blower kit being developed for it (~340 rwhp), so that's a future possibility... but I really hope to pick up a used Z06 in a couple of years and make that the project/weekend car so I can enjoy the Bimmer as a daily driver.

It is a nice car the way it is, but I went to that link you posted and it said only 235hp or so. Eh, that's good, but not enough for me I guess. BMW does do a god job tuning at the factory, so I'd have to agree with you - just an intake/exhaust sounds fine.

That turbo sounds real good! :mischievous: :D
 
this is my brothers sig on audizine, the writing underneath is an old list of things, hes getting a borla exhaust really soon, and a turbo kit isnt exactly legal because there is not catalitic converter, and besides you cannot see it because the intack is on top of the turbo. with the intack and turbo he will have around 420 hp. he also plans on boring it out to 2 litres next winter and buying a reiger bodykit spoiler and roof lip. he will also be putting on some rims most likely off of an rs4 since rims from audi are stronger weighs less, and looks just as good.

1995 Honda Civic EX Coupe D16Z6
170,000mi I plan on buying a B18 and a whole new suspension kit when my car inevitably dies soon..every bump feels like i'm riding on rims..and my tires are fine..I need cv joints and grease and all that..but I'm too lazy..so I'll let it die and then throw tons of money into making it new again 💡
 
What kind of suspension you want to buy?

Is that your first mod?

If so you are in the right path 👍

But, I have to admit, I'm not an Honda fan also.

No, I didn't pick it up with straight line speed in mind. Handling, four doors, refinement and a good daily driver was top priorities in my mind. She'll cut a low 14 quarter mile, though. Traping 97ish mph. Not fast or anything, but respectable enough.

No.. I think a Z06 is going to be the one to fill my need for speed.

Yeah, I've had my Civic for almost 2 years and I didn't put anything into it..third gear is on it's way out soon too..I want Eibach springs like 1.5" front and 2" rear drop and Tein shocks or Tokico set..yeah..I'm a po' man..AND I hit a deer on my way home from a party tonight :dunce: it came out of nowhere..or I was busy lighting a cigarette..now there's a dent in my hood...small but very noticable..my life keeps getting better 👍
 
Sorry about the deer incident.

Personal recomendation.

If you don't want to spend + $1300 :crazy: in a real coilover set, buy a set of coilover sleeves from Ground Control 👍 , those are the best and they use Eibach springs 👍 👍 , ir you order by phone, you can even choose the spring rate of your springs. 👍 :dopey: 👍

Shocks, KYB AGX, gas adjustable, 8 settings in the rear 4 in the front, some brands talk about 16 settings or more, but that is just bla bla bla :yuck: , we don't drive F1 cars, or use our cars in Monza, so many degrees of damping don't really do much diference in a street car.


PS. sorry for my crappy english :dunce:
 
haha true..but now I'm forever screwed...I got arrested for marijuana again last night...I had to be bailed out by my girl who got arrested WITH me...she was the reason I got caught...cuz she got drunk and got mad at me and hopped out of her car and fell on someone's lawn in the snow and the family came home there and i was like WTF WHY THIS HOUSE OF ALL HOUSES?!?!?! she got up, ran back to the car (i was afraid to get out with the family car there watching her facedown in the snow) and i floored it..2 cops were coming towards me with their searchlights blinding me hardcore..so I got caught..they searched my pocket and found weed..i never said they could check me..can i fight this?
 
Louie,
What year is your car (Somewhere between 1993-1997)? Firebird? Formula? Looks like it has Trans Am ground effects.
I sold my 1996 Firebird Formula that had a 6 speed, leather, T-Tops, and LT1 so I could get all my goodies for my 69 Camaro. I sure miss that car.
Click here for the pics of it
 
Its a 97 Firebird with the limited ed. ground effect pack.. It's a V-6 with the muscle look..not threatenning realy.. It does provoke a lot of mustangs and pontiacs everywhere.. I won Hooters People's Choice Award with it once...

I had a 95 firebird with the V6. That car was sooo slow! Then I traded it in for the 1996 with the v8. Huge improvement. One of the best things I have ever done in terms of car purchases.
Congrats on your Hooters People's Choice Award.
 
Love my Z. 2004 350Z Touring, Daytona Blue.
My brother had a couple old 280Z's' and got me hooked on them. Very fun to drive!

[edit]
Guess I should add... Also touchscreen computer with custom designed simple to use interface in the dash.
