OP mulling over the pros and cons of removing brakes to actually be fast on the track while lowering tire pressure

MA checks them based on what I've read. I have a DM from Femto stating that the factory stock CA ID and CVN information (CheckSUM) is saved to the ECU during the unlocking process. Your tuner needs to make sure that the stock tune flash is the actual factory stock tune and not overwritten with...

Can you go into more detail on this? Did you flash back to stock tune and that was it? Or did you have to do other things?

I'm a native of SoCal but I now live in Massachusetts (lucky me! go from one strict emission state to another strict emission state) Anyways back on topic... Here in Massachusetts, we have to perform a state inspection every year to make sure we're not driving around the snow with bald tires...

I spoke to Femto and they said OP - I'd honestly go back to Femto and ask them about this if you haven't already done so. It seems really odd that flashing back to stock and having all the readiness green doesn't pass inspection. Even in a state like California, people are passing emissions...

F the cost of my build just went up. Time to go hunting for an ECU now.

Ah crap, sorry man. Do they check the CAL ID and CVN as part of the regular state inspection or is this only because you had to go to the MAC?

Curious, why would you want to do that?

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1527537 Check this out. Seems the the BMW guys are passing with BM3/MHD tunes. They are claiming that it's all about the monitors being in a Ready state as well as turning ALL OEM emissions controls on. I wonder if there's something you're...

Ugh, that sucks man. I was really hoping it worked out. I think this is why people clone their ECU to avoid this BS. Have you asked any of the BMW guys in Massachusetts? They might give some insight into this.

Sauce?

Will this support direct integration to Reflex+ like Ecutek? Trying to make the tuning process as easy as possible for my future tuner. ?

Hey OP - how'd it all go? Curious to know this because I'm seriously considering unlocking my 2021 and sending it off to FEMTO. Thanks!

So where do we stand at the moment with a state side unlock for 2021+ ECUs? Has anyone cracked the code yet or have gotten close? So many good power mods coming out with no way to tune the car without spending $7k is so frustrating!

This thread got off topic real quick. U.S. state side unlock is still in the works right?

Stock tires or just the wheels? How much are you willing to let them go for?

Great! My wife likes to drive the Supra and she tries to explain the issue to me and I'm never able to replicate it. This will give us some piece of mind knowing that we won't get T-boned when banging a left on Boston streets.

Hey Guys! Planning on driving the beast during the winter (when possible) and am looking to get a set of wheels to wrap winter or all season tires on. Anyone selling or recommend a tire shop? Thanks!!!

...what's the easiest way to get them out from the front bumper tray? Any easy life hacks here or do I have to lift the car to retrieve the fruits of my butter fingers?

Hey guys! Can you guys recommend a good shop in the area that know how to work on our cars and charge a reasonable rate? Thanks! DK
