Had a decent play with an s8 today. Wouldn't consider it a significant upgrade from an s7. It looks and feels nice, but it's no quicker (not to a noticeable degree), don't really notice the screen after a short while, and at least half the apps I tried don't actually work on it yet (Android...
I've run b14's. They're decent, but for road use the Sachs were better (for me), and for track the kw v2's offer great adjustability. But I've never fitted suspension for looks.
B14'S, great for the money though.
Go and drive one, come back with an informed opinion, then discuss it.
Meanwhile, I'll try and figure out how feel, composure and ride quality can ever be described as 'only'. I'm not sure what else I'd expect from suspension changes at road speeds.
You're not actually reading what has been posted. At no point have i said that a trophy is quicker, or that standard (or coilovers)are a limiting factor.
What I've said is that you'll notice a difference. The wheel control, for example is superb on the Sachs, and you can feel that when...
On track, I'm not sure there's a big difference tbh, especially with decent stuff (kw etc). But on the road, the difference is more noticeable. Very noticeable once pushing on.
An average Joe might not notice. But why is an average Joe buying a 182 or a trophy?
Imo, they are very different cars. The e90 is a better daily, better over long distances and very capable. But the limits are higher, so while it's fantastic when you get to drive it hard, because of the higher limits can't drive it as hard as an e46 as often.
The e46 is easier to skid than an...
Guy on cutters developed a programmer that lets you alter the throttle response map. I had normal throttle as completely linear (as standard it's really unresponsive at low throttle) and then made sport mode slightly more aggressive than standard. Really simple interface, you just plot throttle...
It is. But it's a motherfucker when something breaks or you want to upgrade, add Bluetooth etc.
Sounds a good one. I spent silly money on suspension for mine, was fantastic.
Get the CSL rev matching done, improves the box (although it's still w**k ;)). And I'd get the throttle map software, brilliant thing to adjust. Also I'd get the DRL mod done (full beams @30% used as DRL. When you click the headlights on the lights alternate like a police car. People move out of...
