Awsome, so you guys are finally here.. am in vilseck right now but I'll be back in Baumholder tomorrow.. yo we needs to hang out.. PHOTOSHOOT.. finally more evo's..

 

I'll be there in Vilseck April being my second time there. Question if I get a Mellon tune now it wouldnt screw up my car when I get there?

 

No why would it? There is an awsome AEM tuner in frankfurt he also works with DB.

 

well someone on this board (military guy i think with a yellow evo not sure it was a few months back) told me i'd blow a head gasket if i tuned it over here in the states and brought it to germany tuned for the states

 

I got a tactrix cable. If you get a tune anywhere, we can hold up the tactrix and pay TTP $50 to check it and fix it up.

 

Saw a Blue IX on Vogelweh yesterday.. ? ANyone know who it is..?

To contribute to the tune.. from my understanding most tunes done in the states are oriented towards the 1/4 mile..! I also heard about the guy who's head gasket blew due to his tune shortly after arriving into country... His tune wasn't really set up to be driving at such high loads for a long as time.. as we do here on the autobahn and so she blew.

I would suggest retuning once you are here as its different gas, and diff elevation. There is a guy in Frankfurt "Just Solutions" Parts vendor for Buschur Racing. He offers tuning service as well and his pretty good.. he has a 600AWHP Evo 7 Himself on a 35R from Buschur. He did an amazing job tuning my Evo for top End but.. retuning from your current tuner is fine.. jus discuss the fact that you will be going triple digits on a daily basis.. that depends on you of course.. I just got back from Vilseck yesterday and trust me I was in a hurry coming back.. nothing like going 7800RPMS on 6th Gear for like 5 mins.. lol..

 

Car shipped yesterday out of Port Newark and should arrive KMC by 14 Feb, I will be their around Feb. 1.

Anyone have local insurance their, USAA is out of their mind with their quote they just gave me. If you wouldn't mind please PM me what you pay for Insurance in Germany.

 

Absolutely correct! Tuned many in Germany.

 

The headgasket guy would be me. The headgasket blew on the Ring, not the autobahn. Still don't know what happened as the water pump was not the culprit. The local dealer suggested it may have been my radiator...he was getting low pressure readings...he later found out that the neck of the radiator was out of spec and so the radiator cap was not sealing properly. i have a Koyo radiator sitting in my basement ready to get installed.

As for the guy wanting to get low cost insurance, consider Geico. Saved a few $$$ for me.

 

All of which are taken into account when tuning. TTP-Engineering has tuned worldwide from Alaska and Greenland to the mountains in Chile on an FQ-360 or an island in Dominica or the heat of Dubai. All fuels from 87+meth to 90oct to 95RON, 98RON, racefuel, E85, ethanol or methanol. We have the experience to proficiently tune any Evo anywhere.

 

You guys will be retuning mine as soon as it gets here and gets its new tcase and clutch put in. This time I have the autobahn to log the whole RPM range unstead of a little back street in Korea. Damn near killed myself there trying to log 4th gear.

 

BTW, so far I've seen a EB IX, and yellow VIII, a red VIII with a super messed up wing, a GG, and a silver VIII with a painted lip all on ramstein. If you guys see a random guy in a new artic metallic 328i waving - it is me in my wife's car... my evo gets here in Feb.

 

Question for service members. Alright I know the vehicle inspection laws changed since I was last there in 04. I am trying to sell my stock exhaust because my warranty will not carry over in Germany so I dont feel the need for a stock exhaust. I read somewere that the new law on exhaust is that it cant be over a certain Decibal. How do they test for it? I do have a silencer on my exhaust to quite it down but I dont want to sell my stock exhaust if I am going to need it for inspection over there if my exhaust doesnt pass. Last time I did a vehicle inspect in Vilseck when I was there the guy was cool and didnt really worry about to much, my old beaten up Opel I had till I got my BMW passed. So anyone with vehicle inspection currently can chime in would be cool.
