another quick question i got beaten by my friends 5 liter mustang the other day and that really bothers me i was wondering if anyone could suggest some cheap ugrades that will make me faster

what car are you driving? 5litre mustangs are pretty quick , to be honest unless you have a well modded M , your gonna have to look to force induce your car to get a good leg on one, with My m3 motor i have trouble with them (ive never really had a good chance to really lay down a good run beside one though)

DIY Reset Inspection Light

There you go with DIY tool and reset instructions. Will cost you about 8-10$ and you can keep the tool for ever

Works perfectly on my E36.

^^^Good explanation of how to do it, but really you don't need all that. Just a simple wire without the attachments. I do it all the time

BuRgUnDy_BiMmEr · 11-06-2005, 10:26 AM

well thank you guys much appreciated about the mustang its not that quick but its just quick enough to beat me im running a stock 325is hes not that much faster

^^Maybe he's not a very good driver then, because 5.0s are fast. Browse around the board and read threads about performance upgrades. Being that your car is OBDI, it will be easier to mod than the newer e36s.

yea must not be a good driver, those mustangs are very quick straight line, they are horrible on corners though.

Furious is right even my 318i can beat that Stang on a twisty road.
Actually a while back someone posted a video of a Stang racing a Z3 in some canyon roads and the stang has the leg up on the Z3 until the twistes. Then you can see the stang lose control at the tight corners whereby the Z3 just keep going and pretty much dusted the poor stang.

I've been dusted by faster cars on this straight run that becomes unexpectedly twisty after a few miles (the Jackie Robinson in NY). Then when we get to the 90% curves buried in between concrete sidewalls. I gas it and watch their faces in the rearview as the look away in shame.

lol!
Driver skill is also important as well.
