Timing belt and water pump can be done simultaneously, rocker arms I have no idea... but locally I'm not there or else I could help try get those taken cared of.

well, it didnt even get that far. rotor screws stripped on removal. i used a good 3mm allen key as well. i hate bmw for using soft metal screws that strip too damn easily. i shoulda soaked em in pb before trying that.

I'm so glad that mine came right out, I used a T handle allen wrench and they just popped right out with no problem, granted the car has been maintained by a proper german car mechanic since it was 3 years old so that saved a ton of hastle on my end.
Back on subject though, HOORAY, I should get my chip tomorrow then, just in time too, gas milleage shows 30km to empty so it's time to start spending the big bucks on 91 octane.

I talked to mark on friday. He said he was going out of town until sunday. Hopefully he sent the chips before he left.

Full tank of 93 octane and no chip to justify the extra $10 :curse:
Waiting another day

where you located quad?

where you located quad?

Houston, Tx., I usually deal with UPS or Fed-Ex and know USPS is pretty slow but I get packages from the keys in Florida in 4 days and I've had packages from Hong Kong show up within a week.
Don't mind me I'm just a bit to over excited to get this thing in I guess.

[optimusp517]

Ah, so you know that USPS is slow service in general already. It's all good. I got mine this last Saturday and I'm from Seattle so it came pretty fast and I was psyched! So you're from Hong Kong as well huh? Anyways keep an eye out tomorrow :) I'm pretty sure it should arrive soon, FL is closer to you than me, but maybe they have a diff. method of routing their shipments.

[X2theZ3]

Well,

it totally depends what kind of USPS service you're talking about.

USPS priority mail is faster than UPS or Fed Ex ground.

USPS First class takes about the same or a little better than ground.

USPS parcel post takes forever.

[optimusp517]

I'm assuming all packages were mailed out usps priority, but you are correct... but who knows...

Yeah,

my favorite shipping method is USPS Priority. Fastest and most cost efficient. It's a no brainer to me.

Guys I got my chip yesterday!! Now I have to wait a few more days before I can install :(

[silversleeper]

I forgot to check what method of delivery it was from the label on my package, but I am located in MD, and I got my chip this past friday.

[quadmodrophenia]

So, I'm to expect mine today, if so it'll go in first thing before I pick my son up from school. Should make that 30 minute highway trip a bit more fun.
