It was just a matter of time. Now it's here. APR introduces the next logical step in mojo management with an app that wirelessly connects your iPhone or iPad to your car's ECU. Load the app, plug the Bluetooth dongle into the car's data link, and enjoy. Switch between different software maps with a simple screen tap, or select, swipe, and scroll to data lists and graphs where you can monitor performance and log data. Have a check engine light? APR's app checks, clears, and provides probable causes for those, too. Just what you'd expect from the tech-savvy folks at APR.

Countdown to launch. All systems go. Engage. Before your next stop light liftoff, add a space age digital system monitor to your cockpit. P3Cars Vent Integrated Digital Interface is a plug-and-play data display that "fits like factory" into the left side dash vent, in easy view of the pilot seat. Pop it in and plug it into your car's onboard diagnostic connector. Then scroll through critical vehicle parameters and monitor manifold pressure, system temperatures, and other vital stats. No programming, coding, cutting, or splicing. Just tons of fun.

See and feel the difference with ECS Tuning 2-Piece rotors. Lightweight aluminum hats pared with cross-drilled and slotted cast-iron friction provide the best of both worlds in braking performance. Aluminum reduces inertial mass, improving steering feel, acceleration, and deceleration. Cast iron has immense thermal capacities and great wear characteristics. 2-Piece semi-floating construction ensures the two materials work together in concert. What does this mean? Traffic-stopping looks and fade-free stops, every time.

Get in touch with your bad self. You know how to drive a stick, so why not stick a fork in that marshmallow self-adjusting pressure plate. Why not go with a conventional disc, mated to a single mass flywheel. Our Valeo single mass flywheel clutch conversion kit takes your BMW back to its roots as a bare-knuckled brawler. The non-adjustable pressure plate puts you in touch with the clutch, restoring a crisp, responsive feel. The single mass flywheel costs less than a dual mass, and can be resurfaced in the future to extend its service life. You'll feel the difference.

Light. Bright. Easy to install. Why not say goodbye to your weather-worn and sun-faded 1.8T emblem and stick on a genuine European Audi chrome replacement with contrasting red inlaid accent. Peel and stick; sure to put a fresh face on your old friend.

The concept of "lifetime" transmission fluid is illogical. Silly even. Fluid additives dissipate over time and filters clog. Transmissison clutches slough off harmful friction material and metallic debris. Do the logical thing: set up a regular maintenance schedule that includes a periodic transmission service. That way, your transmission will go on shifting smoothly long after the warranty is gone. We've just dropped the prices on pre-packaged transmission service kits for four and five-speed automatics so you can spend a little now and head off a huge repair bill later.

Horn blasts and sideswipe near misses during lane changes are scary stuff. If you're lucky, all you get is a massive dose of horn before swerving back to your own lane. Where did HE come from? Genuine European MINI heated Blind Spot mirrors expand your rear vision area to include that guy shadowing your quarter panel. Easy to install, these mirrors look good, and make merging with traffic a non-contact sport.

Worried about that really bad storm? The mother of all blizzards where your all seasons tires don't get it done, and there are more cars in the ditch than on the road? Rest easy. We have a solution: ISSE Textile Tire Chains. So light a child can lift them. Easy to install no matter where you are. Just slip them over your tires, and get instant traction. Available in different grades depending on frequency of use, in sizes for most vehicles. Keep a set in your trunk so you can stop worrying and get a grip when winter gets ugly.

Many E36s have logged a ton of miles by now, and most have road-weary suspension dampers. KONI struts and shocks are always a favorite replacement choice for enthusiasts, since they add a blend of sporty handling and comfort that is unavailable in stock-shocks tuned to match OE ride quality. KONI fine tunes their shocks and struts by application, refusing to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach used by lesser manufacturers. Available with adjustable or preset damping, KONI shocks and struts are a durable performance upgrade for both stock and lowered cars.

Odds are, your worn and faded center console armrest's latch is broken by now. Odds are also pretty high that you're tired of trying to rest your arm on that wiggling lid. You could buy a repair button and fiddle around getting the latch working again, but you'd still have that nasty stained and faded surface looking up at you. We have a better idea: a completely new center armrest lid, available just for your Audi. The 'squeaky wheel' doesn't always get the grease; sometimes, it gets thrown out.

The problem is widespread and chronic: cam followers for the high pressure fuel pump in FSI engines are prone to wear. Savvy FSI owners periodically pull the pump and check the follower to avoid costly fuel pump and camshaft damage. Symptoms of advanced cam follower-itis include loss of power, rough running, and an illuminated check engine light. To help you understand and mitigate the problem, we've put together a photo tutorial that demonstrates how to inspect and replace your cam follower. Use it with our handy repair kit to keep your FSI running strong.

Plug-and-play for your MINI. Get them, and get safe!

When "me too" isn't for you, a set of Alzor wheels will do. Transform your MKV into a one-off with the bold look of the all new Alzor 050. Five muscular spokes radiate power from a dished center, creating wide display windows for your new painted calipers, Exact-Fit brake lines, and GEOMET rotors. Their 18 inch diameter fills wheel wells, making a lowered chassis look even lower, and the easy-clean Hyper-Silver finish complements any car color. Like all Alzors, the 050 is TPMS compatible, and comes standard with TÜV Rheinlan, JWL and VIA approval for peace of mind.

When the stock snub mount fails, the entire drivetrain can experience excessive movement, both torsionally and laterally. This movement ultimately results in a less refined and immediate feeling when you put the pedal to the metal. ECS Tuning has designed its own polyurethane snub mount. A direct-fit mount with higher durometer and more robust construction. You'll immediately feel an improvement in throttle response, shift feel, and a more solid drivetrain. If your B5 is wearing many miles or has power-adding mods, the ECS poly snub mount is your next logical upgrade.
