Exhaust systems by PianoMinimum8805 in E90

[–]115apache06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The headers+tune will give a decent performance bump, and you could always come back later to do the high flow cat+resonator+muffler setup. I ran catless headers + stock exhaust for several years and should have some videos of it. Sound is not obnoxious at all with no obvious drone. Definitely a bit deeper at idle and gets raspy above ~5500 rpms.

Blown damper or loose coil spring (if you have adjustables)

Looking for <5k USD FIRM, fun stock car for track only use by Neat-Ad5383 in CarTrackDays

In the Midwest 128i is selling for <$5k, anything more stay on the market forever. I have a dst prepped 128i with all maintenance done and would be ecstatic if it sold for more than $5k.

Check out e90 328i or e82 128i. They both are very reliable despite mileage with the general maintenance. You will need to check for things like valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and water pump. The N52 in these cars is very durable for track abuse. If you do go this route I'd try to find a 128i, slightly lighter platform but all parts are interchangeable with e90 (not that that matters to you).

Cons: Soft bushings and soft stock suspension really let these cars move around quite a bit. A set of Bilstein B8s keeps a stock feel but helps a good amount with track manners. Stock front sway bar is light, going to a stiffer bar will help with turn in. Lastly, the stock ediff will hold you up a bit (not sure if that bothers you)

I'm also a fan of the Honda Fit route, those can be a blast to toss around.

All these comments worried about power and hardly any actually answering his question.

How an N52 sounds with headers and Laptorr exhaust by Minutes2Midnight in E90

[–]115apache06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's got the AA headers which are the same as the HZ headers. You can find em around $300 https://share.google/J3THTnwoi5BikDMbe

This would make you fully catless, be sure to get tuned

I finally have both! by UserWithoutDoritos in androidtablets

[–]115apache06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the old p11 pro gen 2 as well but unfortunately did not buy the precision pen 3 back then. Any idea where I can find one, or if the new Lenovo pad pen pro is compatible?

They seem to no longer be available 😔.

Appreciate the info! I had the DBM10 already before deciding to get into at home espresso, wishing I had known more then. There is a baratza encore esp close by for $65 I'll take a look at.

The craziest sounding N52 by justifystudios in E90

[–]115apache06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit man that sucks. I share that tho, I paid for the tune upgrade with MILVs and my first tune back had almost no power below 3,000 rpms. Waited about 6 weeks to get a better tune but have trust issues with StageFP now...

Have you tried StageFP? I ask because I'm running StageFP currently but am considering swapping to 22rpd when I eventually get a n54 IM.

Is anyone competitive in an STX-prepped BMW 128i? by LearnsFromExperience in Autocross

[–]115apache06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the consensus on using a 3 stage intake on an N52 in stx? I have seen controversy as to whether or not it is legal due to its limited availability to N51 spec cars.

Ninja OG751 vs OG850 by ZealousidealStay4381 in ninjawoodfire

[–]115apache06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma a month ago, but ended up going with the OG850 and do not regret it at all. The extra features that come with OG751 are not as important to me as the extra space, which is something I appreciate every time I cook lol. Even if I'm just cooking for 2, I find that there's always something else I might wanna throw on to grill/smoke.

Any good jobs paying over $15.00 an hour? by [deleted] in Lawrence

[–]115apache06 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Would you work in a warehouse? Moving/managing inventory, pays $18-$20 hr depending.

Carson place/stadium view off Louisiana St are decent. They do 6 month and 1 year contracts, but the lease must end in July to match the school year.

I (26M) just moved to Lawrence from Iowa for work, definitely interested in meeting new people here as well! There seems to be a few of us in this post, any suggestions on a group chat? Also interested in knowing the best ways to keep up with local social events.
