upgrades added by Brian S

Many Thanks to BrianS, who has posted several DIY with pictures on E55 section, helped me by installing evo headers, toe links, quiafe lsd, vrp larger crank pulley removing asp pulley, vrp pulley wrap kit, new SC clutch and vrp belt wrap kit. I must say the new SC clutch pack made a big big difference. you can hardly feel the SC engage.
Anyone want a ASP used pulley for $600 let me know with a PM.
Only problem was coming home i opened up and got a state cop that nailed me for 104 in 65 coming on 70E ramp.

HAHA, nice, congrats! Enjoy your new setup!

FWIW, if you spent that kinda money on mods you may want to read this thread on radar/laser protection, especially post #8

It's only money, but the VRP pulley is no larger diameter than the ASP pulley and offers zero performance gain over the ASP. If someone told you otherwise, they lied.
