Re: New to Audio : What to Get/How-to Install?

I'm a Clarion guy myself. I've got a Clarion head unit, a 200.2 running the two front JL speakers, and an APX1000.2 running 2 12" PPI c2's. It's LOUD. :D I had a set of the Clarion Proaudio subs a few years back, and I couldn't kill them. I beat the crap out of them for like 2 years and then so...

Re: Any Benefits To A Larger Size Rim & Low Profile Tire

Having a bigger tire/wheel combo is a little bit of both, actually. It's better to have less sidewall flex, and, hence, less sidewall. Also, because you typically have a larger contact patch (195/15s are stock, 205 or 215/17s have a larger footprint), your stoppong distances, acceleration times, and...

Re: suspention tech. lowering springs... what are YOUR thoug

I got em. 8) I don't mind them. They are fitted with stock struts, so there's a little bit of a floaty feel to them, but they're not bad.

Shouldn't there at least be some stylistic changes? Well, at least some obvious ones?

BPTs.. and where to get em 8)

I posted this already, but apparently it was the wrong forum lol.. Anyway, I know many people have done the BPT swap, but where is it that you guys get the engines from? I can't find a decent place that I'd be willing to shell out the money for. Some people don't warranty the engines (Corksport) and...

Re: why is everyone so scared?

I don't care about an 800 HP KLZE. I believe the original point of this thread was to ask why there are not a whole lot of MX-3s that are *really* engine modded. I would assume that in percentage comparison, there are *many* more.. oh, I don't know, Civics, maybe? that are fairly heavily modified. A...

Re: KL-ZE motor swaps

Ok, but that doesn't answer my question..? Does anyone know where you can swap a BPT into a 4 cyl for $2000? Even if it's in ottawa, that's cool. Just tell me where. 8) :froggie_red:

Re: why is everyone so scared?

While I do agree that Canada is in North America, I DON'T agree that you didn't know that the intention of that statement was to differentiate between Canada and the US. Anyway, as for being a newbie, I am not. I've been on this site for a few years anyway, I just don't post much. Either way, wouldn...

Re: why is everyone so scared?

Well, Curtklze, not all of us are BMW techs. So that means that we have questions that perhaps you can answer. I too am curious why not too many people have high hp mx-3s. You don't have to be an *** about it. Now go run along and play with your BMW buddies. *pat pat*

Re: MOTO-VAC (Where can i get this done?)

As far as I now any Canadian Tire has the machine to do it. I'm not sure if *i'd* go there to do it, but I know people who have, and the result is really good. THinking of getting it done myself, actually. 8)

Re: how best to lower/raise car

To tell you the truth, I lowered mine with Suspention Techniques' springs, which dropped the car a total of about 1.5 inches once the springs settled. I use Tokico struts. It looks lowered, and when I put my kit on I won't have to worry (too much, anyway) about scraping and such. Lol no adjustments ...
