New to the Mafia

[TheUDM89]

Hi All,

My name is Corey and im from Salem, New Hampshire. I am new to this forum and sort of to the BMW world. This is my first BMW, i recently (about 3 months ago) purchases a 2004 330i ZHP 6 Speed. I did many many readings and did quite a bit of searching and i finally landed on the ZHP package. I was originally looking fo a coupe but when i went to go to loo at what i thought was a coupe turned out to be a sedan and i fell in love with the Imola Red color. The car has just barely over 70k on them.

I am very eager to learn all that i can about my car and BMW in general. I would like to think of my self as being pretty mechanically inclined and i enjoy working on cars.

Welcome to the site Corey, I am from Mass...Keep in touch. Great site here, alot of resourceful information.

Thank you all for the warm welcoming. I will do my best to get some pictures up. Im still learning the how toos ton the forum. I am looking to do a clutch on my car when it comes in in the next week or so. I decided on the Southbend Stage 2 clutch. Something a little more than stock but not too much. Im also looking at replacing the flex disc as well. Also i want to do the CDV delete as well. The reason for me doing a clutch is because the dealer said it is unbalanced and it makes a shaking noise when i shut off my car with out pushing in the clutch. It also randomly shakes when im parked idling. Im going to do the work my self and i was wondering if there is anything to look out for and any tips or tricks.

I cant seem to find what size the Flex disc is. I purchased motor and trans mounts from Revshift.com and im looking to get the flex disc from there as well but they just sell them by the size not the vehicle.

Corey,

I'll see what I can do to get other's interested in doing a mini-meet. Possibly a meet at Chad's place. He's located in Northborough Mass so that should be okay for those in the New Hampshire, Mass, RI, and CT. That is for those willing to make the drive. Chad has been talking about doing a mini-meet sometime...just a heads up :)

Your ZHP looks clean by the way! :thumbsup
