    2004 M3 Mods

    After much concideration and research, i thought of the following; My TB is cable driven so maybe it will be more forgiving to a SRI, alo im just going to leave all that stock crap there for the ECU and just remove the rubber pipe that directly connects to the TB. I shall then get a small...

    Custom Blue LED HU

    I've worked with surface mount components for a long time. So these were not really out of the ordinary. I was actually surprised how easy and yet so effective it was. During the day you cant really see anything but at night it makes up for it. I could do your guys HU no problem however Im in...

    2004 M3 Mods

I know this doesnt seem right, however i saw in the workshop manual that it is true and i saw it for my self after taking the...

    Custom Blue LED HU

    i always had a thing for blue led's.... i took out the HU and basically took apart the whole thing till i hit the circuit board. My motto is basically, if its got solder, you can change it... With that in mind i saw all the LED's there and thought it would be fun to change them to blue. I...

    2004 M3 Mods

    Thanks Tsunami I didnt know if there were any other sensors measuring the filtered air in there. Maybe the actual filtered air passes under that box or something. What ill do then is leave all the stock plastic except that long ribbed pipe, as this is where the SRI shall go. Is there any...

    Mazda 3 Driver's Electric window

    I changed my battery the other day and once connecting the new battery, my front electric window doesnt function properly. It has two settings, the first one is a manual up/down and the other closes/opens the window automatically. I sent my car in to get the suspension adjusted and after it...

    2004 M3 Mods

    2004 Mazda 3 SRI Mod I'm back..... After inspecting and about to remove all my ducting, I saw two big connector plugs connecting to the flat box intake just after the stock pad filter. I have taken a pic of it. I also added one of the MAFS. Does anyone know what this is, what all the wires do...

    Build a voltage stabaliser / condensor

    Ya a 1Farad cap is rather overkill for what i'm talking about. As you say, Tsunami, I am refering to the likes of the Apexi condensor kit and similar. There is NOWAY that we going to have those in South Africa, so i have to improvise. My "little" 1.6L has VVT (alright)...... I am going to...

    2004 M3 Mods

    Thanks for the link. I am new to all this Fuel Injected technology, lol, all my previous cars were carbs and prob worth less than the MAFS on its own. I have a much better idea now of the MAFS, thanks. I need to source a aluminium piece of pipe now and get the piece made so that the MAFS can...
