brakes bindiing/rubbing?
Noticed today with the front wheels jacked up, once spun they rub against the brakes, and barely make one full rotation before stopping, now is this normal or are they binding/rubbing too much. and if so, how do i prevent this?

exhaust diamater
Once i know the correct size, im going to have a custom back box's fitted to my TT, it currently has 2 4.5 inch exits on the back boxes which are too loud, i do however use bungs to silence them which reduce the diamater to 1.5 inches. but with these power is extremely restricted. now what is the smallest diamater i can have on the backbox tail pipes, that is unrestrictive? and will not cause power losses. i may even go for twin doubles exits if this is easier. thanks gents/gals. p.s the car is modded. with larger turbos, and higher boost levels.

Excessive fuel usage.
very bad, and getting worse. 180-200 ish to a full tank 70-75 quid put £25 in yesterday on a motorway run and only managed 62 miles. engine mods EGR delete AIV delete water bypass wiseco pistons eagle rods cometec head gasket (not spelt correctly) unprated valve springs ( cannot remember correct terminology) tried both standard and t28 turbos. (no difference in economy) front mount intercooler, hard pipes. full turbo back exhuast system boost controller, set at 7psi (during cold months) ECU chip. tried Zworld and John dixon. (no change) stock and 555 injectors. (no change in economy) standard cams lightweight flywheel RPS clutch nothing to major really.

Convince me to keep the zed!
m3 is faster all day long, i have a friend with a e46 m3 csl and its rapido, 4.8 to 60 from the factory, and remapped it can run up to 170mph+ no lag, instant acceleration, and revs very fast, traction controls, stability controls, etc etc, it leaves a Z from standstill, and put them both on a wet road.. well we both know the answer. from what ive read 400hp needs bigger turbos. and when people with stock tubs state 400hp most people laugh them off in denial. plus as you say it feels and looks much better, having the choice of the 2 i'd be an E46 man all day, comfort, no noise, power, class, stability,reliability. fuel economy, and can take your mates/ family anywhere :-) god i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the e46 M3's, sorry fellow Z fans. dont kill me.
