I heard that star specs like 35ish psi due to the stiff sidewalls. They must have been fun at 44 . Man, i cant wait to get some real tires.

But I want decent numbers

I say 2.4 then make turbo selection very easy I have a customer having excellent results from a 2.4 and PTE5857.

Petey seems to be making a lot of members happy with his tunes lately. Problem is, that he only works at KHC on Saturday. I'd feel a lot better if you had access to your tuner through out the week.
It is true, I do engine dyno testing as a 9-5, but I usually get to KHC 2 times a week. Honestly I am booked all the way through July not even counting EVO's, but I always find a way to work things out even if it means my wife wants to kill me FYI my boss also wants to kill me for skipping out of work to tune cars, unfortuneately no 4wd chassis dyno here But I always support my customers and I have tuned many cars free of charge over email tunes before they get to the dyno, with a combined price of hundreds less then typical evom "e-tunes". I am one of the rarities on this forum as I do not advertise, or have any sort marketing skill whatsoever. The general concensus is that most tuners/shops are not too fond of me, but I have yet to hear of anyone "fixing" any of my work. All I will say is that I highly reccomend being tuned on an eddy current dyno or the street, because anything else is making a sacrifice unless you daily drive your car downhill with no wind resistance

He is a loud talker and is one of the most hyper people I ever met but it's worth it. (joking)
Thanks for the kind words, and oh yeah, I am very loud and boistorous! lol

Actually after a few drinks I turn into what I hear is a very personalbe person lol

so i was on bimmerforums again try to find basic info on 3 series because it seems that all technical info shrouded in mystery and the owners don't know ****.

of the 1000s of thread about oil changes, they keep mentioning getting an "oil change kit." so i am thinking "ok maybe you need special tools to do an oil change on one." Wrong! these stupid kits consist of oil and a filter and a wrench bit to fit the oil filter.

f'ing pussies.

body kits are still too technical.

they discuss the interests and dreams of their SA (service associates) as they change their oil for them.
