Good news- Getting my shifter installed this Saturday whoo..

Bad news- The 10 miles I drove my car, the only time I got to drive my car this week, I got a nail in my near damn brand-new tire. WTF is that...ps2s are not rft correct people? I just want to double check with y'all..

Not RFTs - will never own them again after my 335 had them. Thank goodness the M3 does not. I think BMW may be learning their lesson...

AH! There you are Dev! I was wondering where you disappeared all of a sudden.

Sorry about that nail in the tire.

Although you must be very excited to get your ssk installed soon!

DevJ · 08-30-2009, 09:43 PM

Man I tell you.........Guys with e9x M3's in California RAVE about the Gintani. I don't know what to believe man, but most everyone is stunned by the sound of the Gintani.

I don't know whether to call the exhaust 'over-hyped', or maybe it simply does sound THAT good.

When I finally get the exhaust on, I'll give a totally unbiased review on the entire exhaust system. I just hope all my research has paid off.

Zojirushi · 08-30-2009, 11:26 PM

You guys should bring your Ms to next month's C&C. We can turn it into a C&C/BMW meet

Bald Guy · 08-30-2009, 11:31 PM

Cool!

You going to the Big Texas meet in Austin (Sept 5th)? I'm going to meet up with a few other people in the Dallas area and cruise down there. I can't wait to see a line of bimmers

I won't be able to make it on Sep. 5th since that's gonna be one hell of a busy day at work.

That sucks. I wanted to see what you did with your car. Dude, get another meet going

Bald Guy · 08-30-2009, 11:54 PM

My full exhaust & ECU upgrade wouldn't have been on my M3 by the 5th anyways since the exhaust is still in the process of being completed. The soonest I'll have everything on would be mid-September......But that's if I get lucky.

It was tough holding that first meet since I can't seem to figure out a good day that fits most everyone's schedule. Also, if we do have another meet, it will not be in the Plano/Frisco area. I know it was an inconvenience for some when we held it there. So I bet it would be better to hold it elsewhere.

Oh well. We'll see what everyone wants to do if we decide to hold another meet.

We're trying to hold a group 'Dyno day' after mid-October though.

Bald Guy · 08-31-2009, 01:22 PM

Hey everyone!

Did anyone notice that the speed limit was raised to 70 mph for G. Bush Turnpike???

It used to be limited to 60 mph.

It's been about a week or so since they changed the speed limit, but I just thought I'd see if anyone else noticed the change......

2008GT500 · 08-31-2009, 01:23 PM

Yeah I've seen that, what angers me is that I basically only take DNT and the speed fluctuates from 70 to 60 then to 65 which really doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Bald Guy · 08-31-2009, 01:30 PM

hahaha....At least you get to drive on the most 'FUN TO DRIVE' hwy in the dfw area! DNT rocks man!

Also, the cops on G. Bush were horrible! I bet we'll see much less of them due to the bump in the speed limit.

I drive this route everyday from 114 to 183. Surprised I haven't seen you.

speed limits are merely suggestions in my book

I have to get to work at 7 am, so it may be too early......And when I go home at about 3 pm, I just take the old fashioned stop & go street since I'm not running late for work anymore.
