I would not go anywhere near that contraption. It seems no different than the usual powerchip (aka stick a resistor in your MAF harness) power recipe. Modifying the oxygen sensor signal (if it even does that) will most likely affect the emissions of the vehicle and may trigger your check engine light if the new "modified" signal doesn't please the ECU. Sounds like another snake oil power booster. Just my $.02

[zygoteer]

Its the old "$0.02" Resistor (literally) in series with the sensor trick - it (temporarily) fools the ECU into over fuelling ... essentially can only ever "work" if your sensor(s) are crap now and hence you have lost that performance in the first place - even then it may not work - much better to fix the sensor problem permanently.

[grave77]

so they are simply fooling ppl ... as they said This Is not a Resistor ... the only problem is that WHY NO ONE GIVE THE PROPER FEEDBACK IN EBAY !!

Have you got an 850? !! I think someone else is sharing my misery :P ... Tuner ppl are expensive, also I don't know how accurate the info they have written, I wanted to contact mark D, what's your ideas? congratualtions dude on ur E31 ... welcom to the club :)

Search for "eBay" and "chip" in this forums, and probably many others... then go buy a real R&D developed chip. Wow. With the amount of interest out there, maybe it's viable to put out the QUBE chip. Guaranteed to boost 50HP or your money back.

no misery here yet, reg maintenance items of course but no daily driver. Need to synk the DK motors but thats not possible yet.

jeff, looking at pics od your 850i i thought to myself, i never actually saw a stock 850i. it looks funny. it cries for lowering, bigger wheels, and a CSI bodykit :)

[632 Regal]

yes needs a drop, not sure how this will effect the auto shocks deal (LAD?).

body kit so far will only include this rear spoiler:

It is almost like those things they make you clamp on your fuel line that has a magnet in it, says it will stop lil bits of metal from going inside your engine and stuff, has SOME truth behind it, but wht happens when it clogs your line? hehe. Those people do just enough reasearch so they wont get in trouble for saying they lied when they sold you the product, more offten then not they dont hurt anything, but seldom help. maybe if you find some money on the side of the street you could try it? heheh any increase might be worth it :P

[grave77]

God, I've been really far away from action lately, congratulations dude !! nice ride ... the best is that u got theh white interior and the dark red ext.
u can ask me if you had any trouble, I have learned quite good stuff about mine now :) but my first advice is to buy the Alum. radiator and replace the old Copper one. that made huge difference for mine.

[grave77]

actually CSI body kit is not that different than the 850i or Ci, bigger wheels makes huge difference, I have the turbine 17" on mine, with Bavaria body kit, the kit is only front and rear spoilers, they did the whole job for makeing it look cool, trust me there is no space to lower the car, it's already low enough, or hugh damge will happen to the front of the car.

I would siggest to tint the windows first, as it had big windows and it allows lots of sun while drivinig, also get those small pillows they fix on the neck rest, I bet you felt the gap behind your head Jeff as a difference between the E31 and E34.

as for the AC I have used Freon134, it's cooling like a freezer now, huge difference.

I'm looking for tinted lights or tint spray for the rear lights now, and next week I will install the car PC with motorized touch screen. it would look very cool in the center consol of the E31.
