I suspect EPA has no interest in your charge pipe as it wouldn’t (I don’t imagine) increase your emissions. And they put out a statement to that effect. What California chooses to do is their business, but that is a state issue.

These are hyperbolic misrepresentations of what is actually going on. It is so grossly inaccurate. while I understand why people would be very concerned if it were true, it simply isn’t.This has significantly to do with decatted cars used on the street and other mods that bypass or defeat...

I think we need to diffuse the tension with an Angry Squeaky Frog video. Maybe not as throaty as Supra exhaust, but pretty intimidating nonetheless.

Yes, but not good news. No one yet able to offer fullscreen CarPlay.

$1K for nitrogen seems reasonable to me.

Too bad we can code the clown horn to sound like a diesel train. I think maybe the French might like to use our horns to signal their next surrender.

I got mine for $48k or $49K (I forget) plus tax and title on a vehicle that stickered at $56.7K. If you are willing to do a day trip, you can certainly get well under sticker.

I wanted to put convex factory mirrors on my US spec’d Supra, which I assume come on European models. I did this with my M240i and it worked PERFECT and I found the convex mirrors provide a much preferred field of view. I got a couple of OEM mirrors from a crash test Euro Z4 and the passenger...

I ran “way-too-wide” tires on a mustang drag car and on the road the rear end was quite squirmy around corners. I want to go as wide as possible on the stock wheels without a loss of cornering behavior. So, I’m interested in the difference between 295 versus 305s. Thanks for posting.

You saved me some money on wheels at least for now. Many thanks,

Would enjoy hearing your impressions on handling difference and a sense of how much it affected acceleration.

Anyone know of data measuring the delta in grip (maybe in Gs) in moving from one size to another? I know it’s complicated and best measured by a before and after on same vehicle, same tire type, same road conditions, but I’m wondering how this might change grip laterally and longitudinally.

I very much like my 4K Nextbase 622GW. Expensive retail price, but deals to be had on EBay. It’s VERY WELL built. Magnetic mount makes it a snap to remove. You can add one of two different rear facing cameras if you want. It’s pretty feature rich. It might sound trivial, but the polarizing...

Agreed. Hopefully it wasn’t designed by the same guy that engineered the clown horn. If so, I expect a kazoo-like tune to emanate from the car’s posterior. It would make for the perfect ice cream truck (for those that can remember).

Here is the amp: the amp POUNDS despite its small size. It is small enough that I tucked it away in space near the stock amp. So, you don’t see the amp at all. I used a Technic PnP harness to grab the signal. Made things much easier.

I like what you did there and might copy. Agreed on the improvement. I added this:

I’ve found that these tires will warm up given a little bit of driving time and initial impressions might not tell the whole story. From a cold start at or near freezing, they are quite hard and spin quite easily. With a few miles, they seem to warm up fine for what SEEMS TO ME to be an...

I will pummel any offending dealership with armchair lawyering and some serious science. I did some piranha work back in the day, so I will be armed with some potent critters.

Nextbase 622GW. Very happy with it. 4K.

Yep, I realized that in your post and wasn’t taking a dig at you. I myself had a less than fun encounter with a State Trooper who asked to search my vehicle after a stop for an expired inspection sticker. I declined his offer and he rewarded me with the ticket. Of course, the difference in my...
