NJKSC27 · 12-17-2007, 03:03 PM

Bilstein PSS9/10

oh ya remove CDV

larryn · 12-17-2007, 04:01 PM

TC Kline/Koni coilovers, springs, camber plates, and sways. Also, CDV delete and ATE brake fluid. I'm hoping some of my racing tires & wheels fit the lil' bugger. My wife will love me for purchasing yet another set for this car.... :wink:

NJKSC27 · 12-17-2007, 04:05 PM

yes CDV delete

TunedM2C · 12-17-2007, 04:21 PM

Eisenmann Race sections 1, 2 & 3, Procede V2+, ITG filter, sways, springs, wheels & tint.

EDIT: Of course the CDV delete.

Atomsk · 12-17-2007, 04:40 PM

Can one just remove the Clutch Delay Valve completely or does something else need to be attached in its place?

tenxaday · 12-17-2007, 04:59 PM

can some one pls explain the CDV for me ?

Clutch Delay Valve - if your opting for an 'automagic' it won't be relevant. Here's a linkee: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55083

KW variant 3's, bbs wheels (unsure of what model yet), downpipe,exhaust, dual bailey DV's, drop in filter, need either a piggy back or a re-flash undecided of what i will go for, if procede has a better program then maybe them.......

Will aftermarket DV's have any real benefit with stock turbos besides the sound factor?

Brandon26pdx · 12-17-2007, 07:32 PM

If you really care about the long term longevity of the engine I'd stay away from K&N style filters. OEM paper filters keep the dirt out.

not really on stock setup.... actually it depends on older turbo cars it can yeild some benefits but i'm going only for the sound on this one, i have never owned a new turbo car before so.:w00t:

They help with quicker boost recovery and they do work (at least on my VW). The stock DV has a rubber diaphragm that is slow to recover off boost whereas the Bailey (among other brands) uses an aluminum spring-compressed piston. Oh yea, and the combo with an intake is loud, definitely NOT for everybody.

Dave · 12-18-2007, 08:38 AM

First tints and yellow fogs and winter wheels
eventually: Procede V2+, ITG filter, sways, new tires (kdw's) and maybe springs

BMW135iCA · 12-18-2007, 09:03 AM

Some sort of computer tune, procede, dinan, not sure yet.

After reading about the CDV issue on this post, will a Steptronic actually offer better performance? I don't really think I would want to go through a mod like CDV delete if it affects warranty. How bad is it? I have been driving E21, 5 speeds (Getrag 240 and 245) for 20 years.

BForbes · 12-18-2007, 11:12 AM

DINAN

mikeo · 12-18-2007, 12:15 PM

I'm going to campaign the car in SCCA Solo B Stock class the first year I have it, so mods are limited:

1. Hoosier A6 race tires 225x40 front, 245x35 rear on the OE wheels.

2. H&R or Eibach front sway bar (stock class rules don't allow rear bar changes)

3. BMC panel air-filter.

Rules allow upgrading the shocks, but I don't plan on doing that the first year.

M3Newbie88 · 12-18-2007, 12:35 PM

New to the BMW scene but most likely chip/intake/coils/rims/tint for now..

Hope to get some suggestions in the future from you guys!

BtheMoneW · 12-18-2007, 01:30 PM

Slam it on 20s :w00t:

HAHA JK!

rocketpop · 12-18-2007, 01:42 PM

How about an new exhaust, I would think that would be one of the 1st mods. Easy with decent gains, right ????
