what size sway bars do you have on the ZHP? Pleas look at the paint smudge on the driver's side. If you have a purple smudge on the front bar, that's a 24mm and if you have orange in the rear, that's a 20mm. Other than that, you have 23 and 18mm. Thanks in advance.
Never mind brother. I just got to that part on the video where you say that you have the M3 front bar and the Convertible in the rear. Thanks and keep the ZHP.
I remember watching videos of the 6-6 thinking this shit prob doesn’t handle that well. Meanwhile I got one 3 months ago and they stay taking bending like that at 80+ 🤣💯
the problem is if the rear screen audio is connected to main speakers thru bluetooth and you plug in Apple CarPlay the bluetooth shut down.. and there is no choice to select audio in the front screen. So basically if you have your phone plugged in for maps etc. the rear sound disappears and no option to bring it back.
He replace the cube trim with Rush aluminum? It makes me want to puke when people replace rare parts with literal junk you need to be driving a 323i automatic you're not worthy
I have a 330i (non-ZHP) and have owned many M3s. I originally bought the 330 to S54 swap but I’m starting to think that the M54B30 needs to stay in this car, it’s the perfect daily driver and a little softer all around, which is nice at times.
Correct me if Im wrong, but I think the reason for the improved steering is due to the different spec rack and pinion component compared to the 330i and M3. I have a ZHP sedan and an M3, both E46s.
I have the S trim awd and ma excited to see what it does when I can actually test it. I know this is a late (extremely) late comment but my serento came with every dealer option imaginable other then the turbo.
Love these cars, proud owner of an 8th gen coupe with the k24 + 5mt. Threw a set of Tien flex’s and 235/245 tires, basic hiflo cat + magnaflow cat back and a goofy skunk2 single exit. Thing is on rails and I haven’t even gotten the ktuner to get rid of the rev hang and other factory bs.
Lol 235’s come stock on most of the mid to ba upper trim levels on the 9th and 10th gen Accord’s. The factory/OEM rims don’t go any wider than 8.5”, I believe. The 2016-2017 9.5 gen (9th gen facelift) Accord’s have 19 x 8 rims, but they’re sooo heavy for stock/OEM Honda rims. I threw on some Avid1 Gram Lite rep’s, and it lightens up the car for quicker acceleration and response; not even joking or speaking from “butt dyno” tests. I know for a fact that switching out any stock Honda rims that are 17”+, can lighten up the car a solid 35-45+ lbs, depending on which rims and tires you have. I wish I could run a 265 wide square setup for tires all around, but it’s simply too wide, even with a
Also, I’ve had both the 9th gen I4 and V6, so I know the limitations of the K24 models. The best thing you can do, is do all of your basic FBO and at least run the best preset map that KTuner offers. The clutch delay valve delete and lighter rims make a night and day difference, especially the weight shed from ridding the stock rims. As for the high flow cat, I’m not sure if you’re just running a generic weld-on one, or if you actually got a nice ceramic core HFC. I eventually couldn’t stand the fumes of a completely catless setup, so I ran the PCD (pre-cat delete)/catless header, and had an ATLP HFC in place of the 2nd cat. As far as I’m concerned, we can run the bolt-on style V6 3rd cats in place of our 2nd cats on the I4 exhaust systems. Before they discontinued their specific test pipes, I actually managed to run a 7th gen (03-07) Accord V6 test pipe on my 9th gen Honda Accord Sport 6MT sedan.
I pick up my 330 ci second hand MSport geniun, csl wheels 18 from spain imported from Germany 275 000 km, thanks alot for the info vídeo, i bay next Friday for 7500 euros, very good condicions😊
Hello, I just got my Carnival this week, trying to make the screen audio work but no luck yet, do the screen come with their own native audio, or will they only work with the cars sound system/ Bluetooth headphones
Whenever you have a DCT its best off to not take it off road, that type of transmission’s achilles heal is spinning wheels,constant slow speeds and creeping
Why do they call it a RES when it's not the same and doesn't function like the other RSE in the other Kia's. Just seems like a false advertisement by Kia.
