Calling Vic55!!

Hey bro. What mods do you recommend I start with? I am going to go the EVO route, since I love your ride. Is there a board memeber that I can start bugging that you recommend? Hehe, you should get a cut from them or at least some free stuff, cause i am about to start selling my kids to get stuff from them.

Hey Jangy, Vic55 has a great ride. We've msged back and forth and he's given me great information in regards to evosport. In fact, my plans are to do the stage 1, stage 2, cooling package, Quaife LSD, resonator delete, and putting on a carlsson lip through them @ the end April. Give Simon @ evosport a call, he will answer all your questions. What a coincidence, I got my car from Hoehn as well. Have fun with the 06.

What up Jangy- you need to start with Evo 1 power package which is your under and over drive pulleys. This will give an immediate bump in power and throttle response with the Powerchip software. Call Simon at 714-901-3100 x60... he is fair and best of all he is local.

Oh by the way, remember how you were excited about the way I launched my car the Rosebowl meet? Well we found out I had a very small exhaust leak and I wasn't even running full power. The bursts from 70 to 130 are crazy. The car is obniously loud but I don't care. Simon was behind me on the freeway in his SL55 and said mine sounded like a Nascar engine.

I do bro, let me know who. I have my E55 and my Jeep that I want some quick custom pipe work done on. I'll hook up with EVO for mods , but i need to get a little noise out of this thing for now. The '05 sounded OK.
