This is quite a common mod. Most refer this as OBD1 conversion or M50 manifold for M52 engine. I am looking at this mod as well myself, just need to save up for it now.

Ultimate wolf in sheeps clothing... Give the evo/wrx boys a run for their money~ probably smoked them on drag~ hahaha~~

oops.... hahaha~~anyway, just been there and the speeches are boring, no car show chicks. First Impression... The car, well, it look bigger but inside feel smaller. Feel more sporty defintely because even the rear seats are sort of more "buckety". Rear headroom about the same as my e36 Coupe despite being a 4 door. All the cars on show (4 total, 320i, 330i and the 2 diesel) have electric seats. Quite comfie but the interior design will take a bit getting used to. Knobs in a few places and there's now 3 stokes on the steering column. (signal, wipers and cruise control) Can't imagine when they add SatNav control and SMG onto the steering column. The boot tray that goes to the roof of the boot, well, that's a good design (at least the boot door won't chop off the tray when closing the boot) but it blocked the boot lighting from illuminating the back of the boot, which is where you need lights esp at night. (Smart and Stupid in 1 place.) Overall, I like the look of it, esp the front. Interior, I'd say it will grow on me if I get to have 1. That said, if I have money, I wouldn't buy 1 yet. I'll wait for the Coupe coming in late next year. (or bag a bargain e46 330ci for being end of production) (I am comparing to e36 because that's what I got)

try to get that wolf in sheep skin thing going on you know.... anyway, thank you all for the advice.

Heard people with horror stories using Bosch Super 4. Not sure whether true or not, but I'll stay with the old style single bridge spark plugs.

That's cool, the M50 question is for my friend and M52 is for me. I definitely am thinking of M50 intake/ODB1 conversion myself, does anyone know what sort of $$ are we looking at? (incl parts & labour)

That sure freshen up the looks department alot.

I think Jerrys' having a E90 launch event somewhere tomorrow. That must be it then.......

as topic.... M3 Cam (S50/S52 engine) to go into 323/325i (M50/M52 engine) Is it possible? If yes, what else is needed to be changed? While the head is open, should I do the grinds, ports, throutle body, etc... ??

As far as I understand.... Traction Control (TC) = Stop the wheel spinning when accerlerate Anti-lock Break System (ABS) = Stop the wheel locking when breaking Stability Control (SC) = Able to apply 1 front break to counter oversteer or 1 rear break to counter understeer now... E36 has ASC+T, but is it that we got in E36 are all the 3 above combined?? What does the "A" makes the ASC different from other SC in other brands?

yeh~ my one got them both, opt 925 and 928925 - Shipping Protection Package 928 - Tire Routing (Control) My guess is still something around the line of traction control (ASC)

As far as I concern, they cannot FORCE you to change plan simply they don't offer the plan anymore. They can make you an offer to change, but not forcebly changing you.I know some Telecom customer still on some 10 year old (or thereabouts) plan, that work similarly to your FreeTalk 30. Needless to say, they can get good value out of those plans than the "modern" plans. IMO, do not let them change your plan. Don't give up. I am on Voda for 6 years under personal name but they treat me like sh*t (accounts and special offer-wise). Until recently I change to business plans under a company name (2 connections) then they looked at me more seriously (4 free phones, $250 credit x2) . At the end of the day, it all comes down to $$. Yet, they forgot the people who make the biggest noise often are the ones that spent the least. Not saying those low-spenders are bi*ches or anything like that, but those corporates should hear there voices as a constructive feedback as to review any policy changes.

should look pretty cool on an E30. What type of colour is this? Candy? somehow I don't think will look good on e46 (or even e36)

I can see this is probably a Altezza + BMW + Lancer + WRX But can anyone tell me what model this car is originally?? (I don't have an answer, but trying to find one) pix 1

Good on the copers~ People who doesn't know how to drive probably should take lessons again~ Seen some SUV drivers (strangely most are female) do some annoying things, blocking 2 lanes try to not let you pass, non-signalling lane change, sudden breaking try to get you crash into her, etc.... Point is, I am sure, if we all obey the law, we would live in a happy place. Less traffic jam, less accident, etc....

I thought the "Supervisor" would have got the ticket because you are "supervising" so the one being supervised would not do illegal stuff (incl speeding).

a bit lower and add some tints would be nice~ chrome on black cars rules~

First pix... great, the kids can use that as a playground
