I'm not sure he's much different, I think he's an a-hole at times, but it's possible they all are (I am haha). He might be actually a little nice or it might just be that the coverage of him has shifted some. Kimi's a beast. I can't believe he is 19. I was a dumb ass when I was 19.

I haven't installed my 3-bolt on the Z4 yet, variety of life-in-the-way reasons but am certain it'll fit. Another Z4 owner has made the 4-bolt work by replacing one of the bolts in the factory bracing with a shorter one so that it cleared. FYI for any additional Z4 owners, or FE Supra owners...

I can't disagree with any. I noticed that the top 8 qualifying times were with a half second of each other. That's just nuts. I find it interesting how the qualifying and eventual places are always different, the fastest lap doesn't correspond right now to how the teams have figured out how to...

That's kind of crazy. Any reasonable human would have told you - hmm, keep the car you have, we'll give you a couple grand refund on it. I guess they have an algorithm that decides prices for them and somehow you got lucky (which is awesome, of course).

I'm thinking it would be hard to believe that none of the 4 sensors work, and they all broke or died at once - more likely that there is 1 fault with the software for example. That said, I do not have a solution for you other than to suggest considering things other than the sensors being at...

You guys can both be right since there aren't a lot of numbers shared. More heat in a tire, even a street tire, gives more grip - up to a point. Beyond that point, they do indeed lose grip. So you need to stay in the right range. If that was as-is, after a short burnout, after a long...

I'm sure the heat shield name makes sense if you're tracking and have glowing rotors and are trying to prevent something nearby from overheating (though, not sure what, as it'd be the fluid in the caliper and the pads which are getting toasty anyways). I've always called them dust shields, which...

Sustained squealing? Pilot bearing? Did you do the clutch or a shop? How experienced are they with clutches? When exactly does it happen, i.e. with the clutch pedal pushed in, only when it's out (not pushed in), while you are driving?

According to Google, some things to check on for these might be: 803207: Sensor technology: noise detected - PDC sensor might be blocked, license plate or something aero added on? 804081: Production readiness to drive: faulty - May be a low or half dead battery, maybe from sitting a long time...

About how many hours did it take them? And, what do you think afterwards? I actually like the current shifter feel (Z4, so a little apples / oranges perhaps, but thinking they're actually really similar). But always up for improvement.

This! ISTA is a PITA to find things in. Better than not having it available at all, but I have just not learned it yet.

Looks like you'll have to break the glass again and get in there while it's removed! I wonder if it could count as a warranty claim have the glass company remove it, clean the broken pieces, and reinstall afterwards?

Crazy race - * Verstappen does a 360 and pulls it off like he intended it * Leclerc does one later too * Liam Lawson flips Gassly in the air for a full 360 * Kimi wins, again

Well, at least one of you is right.

That's usually what's up w/ BMW's, you can reset it, but can't reset it again until you have satisfied its minimums - certain # of miles, or the monitoring gizmo detects a sufficient change, their maybe be a minimum # of days as well. It's dumb but for some reason they wanted to keep people from...
