I hear ya talking! My little lady hasn't been out of the garage for a few weeks now with all this snow. I guess you could say she's hibernating.

I just shared (via timeslip) what the custom intake scoops helped me do and I'll try the airbox mod at my next track session. I'll post pics after that.

Minor goodies...
1) COMAND US to replace my Audio 20 CC. iPod integration on order. Eventually putting in NAV and SAT as well.

2) Two new factory rims...not by choice...looks like the previous owner hit a pothole...two hairline cracks on left side wheels...one started losing the seal.

3) Probably hit it with some Zainos today.

I haven't gotten into the engine bay yet...but I will.

I replaced the chrome plated steel valve stem caps with lightweight aluminum valve stem caps. That should free up some serious HP and significantly reduce rotating mass...I might even run with no valve stem caps at all Thanks Santa Santa might have dropped of a few other little things, but they are probably not worth mentioning, the valve stems caps are major.

According to one M5board member you can save up to 5lbs of rotating mass per tire by inflating with nitrogen and turbonators are proven HP. Also the latest clear bra's shave .01 off your coefficient of drag.

Shoot me a PM with where you're staying in Houston for the 23-25th.

Thanks

LOL.

Just for Grins and giggles have you ever computed the weight of the fill in a tire?

Less than 30 grams
