It's a corrosion inhibiter and it leaks out when it's hot... park it outside for a few 90 degree days, wipe away, and you shouldn't need to deal with it again.
They came stock so I cant tell a difference, all I did was paint them. That said I have driven a 2020 without them and there is a noticeable difference in handling.
That is interesting and I'm clearly not a programmer or a security expert so I'll take your word for it. Did the first bench unlocks brick a bunch of ECU's? Possible a very different process. Sounds like there would be significant risk in going first.
Fair enough but wouldn't they want some of that back. Waiting for competition is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Ever! Thinking through this, the only why they earn a million on this is to truly lock down their processes and remain the only company that can do/sell it for the next...
MP isn't beta testing anything. They haven't unlocked it. You put key in door and unlock it, it's unlocked. No need to "beta test it". You jail brake an iPhone, it's unlocked, there is nothing to beta test. You don't TEST an unlock. There are no "kinks to work out". If they truly unlocked it...
Ladies and Gentlemen, is there a single person in here who believes MP has really done what they say they've done? Anyone.... Let's do some basic third-grade math. They could presell non-refundable unlocks for $500 on the basis that they will not start unlocks until 300 are sold. That's $150K...
It's likely an rust/corrosion inhibitor. Several people have had it come out of the hood at the point just above the wheel on hot days. I have not heard of it in the door. Regarding the auto shut off, was your door open? The Supra will not drive if it is not fully shut and auto brakes the car -...
Anyone know if MP is offering to unlock the ECU in person? It sounds like they are trying to protect the method (IP), and I would presume if they do the unlock at their facility then there is no risk of someone stealing their secrets. Maybe I'm wrong?
1800 Miles From Denver CO to Napa CA and back. When your just cruising, not in sport mode, the car gets ~33 MPG and that is with a pull or two in there to pass slowpokes.
