mushutofu, yes, I live in Millbrae. How do ya know? airport background?

Thanks for the compliments, I recently did the Stillen CAI and the shift knob. FoxHawk helped me tremendously by personally wiring the IPOD wires from behind the headunit. Took him a while but he got it done! I am so grateful and impressed!!

mushutofu, where do you live? Around millbrae I suppose?

 

[mushutofu]

I live in San Francisco but have a few friends that live in Millbrae

notice any signifigant MPG improvement since CAI?

 

[stormace]

Ha, maybe your friends live across from me. The guy does lots of mods to cars in the garage.

What other mods have you done to your FX?

 

[stormace]

I noticed that the CAI had a little less back pressure when accelerating. MPG remained the same so far. But I've only used half of my tank. Will report back once I get more readings and gone through more fillups.

After using one full tank of Chevron 87 octane. (nose bleed prices in bay area), I have concluded that the Stillen CAI did significantly improve my MPG.

I went from 16.7mpg stock of mixed city/hwy (75%) to 18.8mpg with Stillen. That's 2.1mpg improvement! I will continue to monitor the MPG and see if this reading is consistent.

I was wondering how did you get your shifter so low, did you cut the inside stick to get it so low.

jim,

I didnt cut the stalk at all. There was a blue plastic piece from factory I removed, exposing the metal depressor stalk. I used that, while pressing down on the button of the MOMO knob, I installed it to where it is low enough but yet keeps the functions of the shifter. If it is depressed too low, the key can't be removed.

 

[jimsbmw]

Thanks for the info, will try it out later.

Jim

Sure, let me know if you need anymore help. It took me awhile to figure out how to push the shift knob down...actually, you can punch a hole through the rubber cup as well, so u can lower the shift knob more if you like.

 

[mushutofu]

maybe you could help me put one in when I get around to getting one.
