  1. Gator,

     

    Tell me about this JB3 mod. How easy is it to put it into the ECU and take it out? Have warranty's been voided due to detection even though it isn't hooked up?

     

     

    If you're driving the car every day of your life for a decent amount of time, get the 335i hands down!!! I sold my E55 AMG as it was almost out of warranty and replaced it w/a 335i. Not nearly the same car, but w/the chip and intake it's pretty dang close and how can you beat it for the money. I bought a beautiful blue '07 335 w/40k on it for $24,500 and it's a cpo'd 40k mi. car. Keep looking and find the right deal. I also highly recommend the paddle shift! Great fun when in traffic or even not in traffic. If you're stuck in the car that often, you definitely want something you will enjoy! I think the camry/honda option would bore you and there's no point imo. As far as the JB3 and intake go...They are a 5 min. install/uninstall. You'll just need to swap them out for stock when you go in for service/warranty work and stop by a local autozone or parts store that will check your check engine light for free and have them erase all codes and then there is no proof of aftermarket parts on the car. Yes, I have heard of some dealerships voiding the warranty, so you will definitely want to put the effort into doing that. Get the 335i, you won't regret it. They're awesome. I daily drive mine and actually road race it. Nothing like having a road race car that's awesome on the track w/a 100,000mi. warranty!!!

  2. I have a BB curve, upgraded to a curve 2 (you can see the cost cutting, keyboard is worse, optical mouse sucks), hated it, it wouldn't sync with my 09 BMW when the old curve would. Had verizon downgrade me to the old curve. Had Iphones..they are toys (which is fine), I need a phone that can manage a 12,000 contact database, email and a good internet connectivity and a good user interface...touch screens suck when you are driving. My curve is a mobile office.

     

    I have an itouch for my music....

     

    There isn't a phone that does all...plus Verizon has MUCH better coverage and is faster than ATT. Consumer reports did a survey a few months ago. ATT is rated really low.

     

    I was w/US cellular for 4 years and never had an issue and loved my phone. Took the risk and switched to ATT to get an iphone and have zero regret!!! LOVE this thing! Wished I would have done it earlier...

    2005 Gallardo Cpe. E-Gear. 14,000 miles. Yellow/Black. Do not know options. $83,000.

    Looked like a nice car.

     

    I'll post these up if people are interested, otherwise I'll just keep it to myself.

     

    please do continue posting! Once my Viper sells, I'm going to be after an '04-'05 car. Would love to find a perfect example 6sp. car for $80k. That's my goal. Just haven't decided on color yet...

  4. Hey, just thought I would chime in, Im boosting 7 psi and have done some 6000 miles now, stock everything incl clutch and its still perfect.Mine is an Egear, you can see my build at www.kismo.dk if you have interest.

     

    Good luck with your car,

    After doing it all yourself, how much money $USD would you guess you had in the entire build?

  5. Car has been for sale forever. Don't think the 'beater' part is an issue, probably more so the colors. I think it's a pretty bad looking car.

     

    I agree, but w/some solid black HRE's, painted calipers, and everything that is yellow on the inside switched to alcantara to match the headliner, I think it'd be pretty sick! And having the Asanti wheels and larini exhaust on there already available to sell, I'd be getting a head start on HRE's and TT setup! But again, it's an early model and that scares me!

  7. It's been for sale forever and on/off ebay as well. I'm just wondering if I got a smoking deal on it if it'd be worth buying. I'd HAVE to make some cosmetic changes, but if the car was bought right, that wouldn't be so bad. Any help is appreciated! This will be my first Lambo! Thanks--Andy

     

    Oh, and on a side note, just recently the layout on this forum changed for me. I have to open up each individual post seperately under each topic. Is this how it is for everyone or can I change that? Thanks again!

  8. Those e55 are very nice sleepers for sure, last year you can have 1 in the mid to upper 20's. I see prices starting to creep up on those. Alot of car for little money on that DD.

     

    Bought my E55 in april of '09 w/73k miles on it and a 100k certified warr. from an individual for $22k. Already has 91k miles on it and I have a work truck as a daily driver as well if that tells you how much I love it! I literally look forward to driving it everyday! Probably going to sell this one soon to buy a lower mileage one again and continue to use it as a dd. Love them! Even made a 360 modena vert look stupid the other day and he had a buddy in the car which made it even better. And yes, they run mid 12's stock w/the stock record being 11.94 (which I do find a bit hard to believe, but...)

     

  9. Interesting. I was going to be in the market ($80K +/-) for a Gallardo after my Viper sold. If they're climbing back up, maybe I need to stick to the viper a little longer. Wanting to pay cash for a Gallardo w/out being uncomfortable. Good thread... I've been watching the market closely as well and completely agree (unfortunately for me). I wish the market for highly modded vipers would firm up! I want a G!
