Good news, up $200 playing craps in a mere 30 min, bad news my alternator took a shit sitting in traffic on my trip into Vegas.

Why would you change the ECU to standalone? Its not like its ancient. Very easy to dyno tune that ecu if you have the equipment.

i've done a lot of research and unless you dump over a grand for a good tune on the stock ecu, it isn't even worth it. which is why derek will do a whole stand alone ecu for it and have it running proper and then throw on the turbo after extensive tests.

Since your going just for looks buy a m3 and swap all the m parts for non m parts including the motor. That way you'll recoup most of your purchase price and have a looks only car.

that's just stupid. if i had the money, i'd buy an m3 and that would be that.

just got back from the yards...fuck it took like 30 mins to pay....also saw a bilstein sport shock laying under an e30

Doesn't derek charge around $900 for a megasquirt and $250 to do a street tune? Plus you'll need new wideband sensor correct? Last i checked thats is more then a dyno tune. $600-700 if you want an existing tune from unichips

This. Mikey, call or PM me. I needz zinno hood. Also driver's side comfort seat in black.

[mcr_driver]

matt and I agree ZHP > M3 the feeling while driving that car is amazing even compared to the ZCP models....And for the cost of a solid turbo set up (technique tuning comes to mind) you could also swap over the s54 drivetrain and get an LSD in the process (or spend an extra 2k for a quaife/osgiken)

Hey anybody got an alpine white non-vert trunk hood FS?

[mkcman17]

This. Mikey, call or PM me. I needz zinno hood. Also driver's side comfort seat in black.

I'll swing by and take a look, what's your schedule after tonight?

[mkcman17]

my shit is kind of up in the air. the hood is still on the car up by you...i'll probably be up there tomorrow night.



meanwhile....

The stock motronic is very capable Travis. Especially to be dyno tuned as Niguel mentioned.
All that "24lbs injectors is all motronic can handle" is a different story if that is what's confusing you?

My car is dyno tuned by RMS and it's almost flawless, although I'm sill on the "break-in" tune.
