I totally agree on weight savings, it'll really make the car FEEL quicker 1000-4000rpm. I'd like to do battery next, and then save up for seats
Beedub, didn't you also do exhaust mods? Removing the section one cats?

i did battery a while ago..... Pain in the ass as i cant leave the car for more than 3 days!!! lol its constantly on trickle charge....... The projected exhaust mods were coming to mad prices, when i saw the DKF system with all my prayers answered i asked my tuner to leave my system alone, ill order a DKF system with 100 cell cats, Xpipe, race rear section, that wiill save a nice chunk of weight also!!! Just waiting to see if we throw CELs, the s54 seems sensitive to this.....The DKF system seems to be very high quality and is BY FAR the best quality and most complete option for the z4m imo.... i love the clamping on that system.
ess VT2-550 for the z4m please................with the ess fuel system, bigger cooler and injectors and 100kg off the car..... yesss pleasssseee!!!
Also i think ill be doing a catch can install soon, i brought one but couldnt mount it anywhere so i need to get one made..... however the s54 seems to have minimal crank case breathing, their is only a gentle coating of oil in the boost pipe work, a very small "spray" if that, it does however smell lovely being breathed out the hot S/C unit!! lol!!
AFRs are a beautyful 11.4 @ 8000rpm, and on idle still a Perfect 14.5, bang on tuning...... The Bored throttle bodies have not effected anything really.... like i say maybe alittle more Tq.... Car needs to be dyno'd now.....
holy shit -3 camber...... that will resist understeer well ;-) i got a massive difference from -2.5..... and 235 fronts.......
so Tom, how do you feel about your ess car now yove had some time with her??? unfortunatly it seems were building serious money pits, im obsessed with spending on the car but im now BROKE!!! lol..... i really need to spend some time and money on my house!!!!
