What did you do to your car today?

[pbondar]

My wife often asks me "what are you doing to that car now?" or words to that effect....also a few people have asked me "what mods have you done to your Zed?"

Two days after taking delivery of the car the battery failed since the previous owner installed a different battery and did not register or code it. , since then I've been having periodical electrical malfunctions. I had the FRM serviced, changed out the BCM and now I have to change out my CAS module as it has since crashed, preventing the motor from starting.

 

[pbondar]

Heard many stories of subsystem ECUs being trashed by low batteries…you’ve had it bad…interesting anecdotal evidence on how bad it can get with failing to register / code the battrry…

Well done on your journey..is it Ohlins time yet ?

Finally installed these this weekend, they give the N54 a very beautiful, deep and throaty sound! for phase two I will be installing a
3" Magnaflow X pipe mid muffler together with a Magnaflow Tru X pipe to replace the crappy OEM one.

What are we expecting power n torque wise?

 

[Dumaurier7]

It's a stock block and I want it to remain reliable, so I am looking for about 10-20% less max power for now.

Ok thnx..my figures are crank..these turbos are allegedly capable of over 800 wheel horse power ?

 

[Dumaurier7]

Yup.

 

[Dumaurier7]

EOS manifold finally in hand!

 

[MRCW]

I checked the air pressure on all four tires. The right front was low about 4 psi for I added some more air...

Sounds like most are really modding their rides!
