I have seen scoobys and evos spin. Fighting the electronics can be worse than no electronics.

Therefore, get yourself on a driving course.
There was one up a bank about six foot above the road on the inside of a corner at The Ring at Easter (Kallenhard it was). I've no idea how he got it up there, but he looked really sheepish.

From what I've seen of EVOs on track they just chuck the car sideways all the time into every corner and let the electronics sort it out for them.

He was thinking as all BMW drivers do

"I'm just a regular guy with a regular job, I'm your average white suburbanite slob. I like porno and beer and books about war I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor."

Does anything surprise about BMW drivers really?!?

I hear that they do very nice wheels and hardtops and that you can pick these up, used, *very* cheaply.

i am thinking about modding my car...what would you do first

suspension? or allow the car to breath better by upgrading with induction kits , mainfold and exhaust?

btw what would really affect the insurance premium??

any ideas would be great and set my mind straight on what i would like to do :>

Thanks
If you track the car often, get 4.44 or 4.56 final drive. The gears wiil pull as if the car gained 20 - 25HP. While cornering, S2000 becomes a different car. More torque, better control, cool drifts

i've heard about this final drive so would you need to change anything else or just that final drive gear? what happens to the top speed???

o another thing ppl tend to go for the aem and k&n filters...

it is said the engine works best with cold air and is compressed in the box which all Ss have as standard, the standard airbox i mean...AEM HKS and K&N all expose the filter to the warm engine area so how would AEM and K&N work better than HKS when they are all opened up to the engine bay???

or am i mistaken?

so mugen would be the best among them all as its a closed closed system... is the Gruppe M one closed?
