So Ive pretty much did all the basic bolt-on's for performance. I also did some weight reduction mods with the Konig Feathers dropping about 12 lbs total unsprung weight, Braille battery, and carbon fiber hood.

Is there anything else that I can do for a performance edge?? I don't want to turbo it because I drive about 500 miles a week and need my 30 mpg.

Thanks

 

theres not much you can do unless you either do internals or turbo...i/e/h wont do much..

 

Add some racing stickers for additional horsepower.

 

For more "weight reduction" you can remove the spare and its components.

For more power mods you can do cams, or headwork.

 

I'm thinking Lexus badge.... Gotta be at least 10 hp!!

 

my mpg went up with my turbo! lol just stay in vacuum!
bolt ons r meh!!!
u can get a unichip for your mods n see what that does.

 

How many mpg u get.

Yea bolt ons don't do that much but it's fun modding the car. Kind of a lil hobby yah know

 

Driver mod. Come to a few autox's.

:D

You'll fall in love with the car again.

 

HAHA yea true. I still love the car!!!

My car has over 100k miles on stock clutch. I could maybe go with an ACT street clutch with the 12lb Competition Clutch steel flywheel.

How would it be driving with the 12lb flywheel 100 miles a day mostly highway

 

Through in a unichip, cams, or some suspension mods strut, sway, & etc

 

Are cams actually worth taking the engine apart, ect.? Will you feel a little gain? Convince us why please, Im stuck on this also

 

Cams won't give much of gain, tunning is also a factor! But you should notice a lil increase of power

 

It's an overhead cam motor, all you would do is remove the valve cover and the retainers holding the cam. Not much of a "tear in." Cam's don't have a HUGE gain but they do gain you power and torque, added with tuning will gain a fair amount.

 

Hmm cam I'll have to look into. Unichip might prob could give about 10 hp right with my current mods.

Suspension I've done Trd shock/spring/sway plus dme front and rear struts are on the way got both for 99 bucks

 

Ok, well yeah im not expecting a huge gain from being NA, maybe a decent gain, are they worth it? And how much WHP are you expecting from them, What also makes them diffrent from the factory that produces more power? Also not being tuned or anything,

 

A flywheel will make it feel like a new engine. You may get chatter on decel..(which sounds like you're trying to shove the shifter into gear without using the clutch)...but I had a 12lb on my old z3....originally weighed THIRTY lbs!

 

Cams performance is based on the cam lobes and the angle in which they are cut. This determines how long or short the valves are open in each cylinder. WHP from them, I honestly do not know. Only one company makes cams for our car, and not many people have used them due to the price. I'm looking into them since I have an extra head that I am playing with.

 

I def think I'm gonna go with the cc 12 lb flywheel with act street clutch ones my clutch starts going. 102,000 miles and no problems yet!!!

Thinking about unichip just wish we had more dyno numbers with all the bolt ons

 

unichip is garbage. if you wanna start tuning go with a greddy ultimate.

 

X2 that's what i run, best mod in my opinion. also remove cat
