Build slowly. Femto unlock then use some OTS maps or do flex fuel and go e50 to see where you start slipping. Worst case scenario, the Uni Clutch looks like a good option since the rest of the options are limited.
They always go back and forth and have to catch up and pass each other to remain competitive or attract clients. I think either one would be fine for us unless you are drag racing. Popular MKV tuners online laugh at my question about BM3 vs MHD and have told MHD is trash. BMW performance shop...
It's all love bro. Welcome to the forum. Happy to have a new owner on here. Enjoy your ride and please no street takeovers. Leave that bad rap for the Chargers and Challengers.
Yes, I can also confirm this. My local shop Speed Logic also confirmed before they did the CDV delete you don't need the E90 slave. Quick and easy mod if you want to call it that. Less jerkiness from 1st-2nd.
Covid and historically low interest rates jaded people’s idea of buying a car along with MKIV and R-34 prices. If someone is buying to hold for 10+ years in hopes to make a killing, they are doing themselves and the car a disservice. Cars are meant to be driven even if you garage them for the...
Exactly. Not to get off topic, but remember how a couple years ago Toyota started getting crap about not wanting to go full EV fast like Chevy and how they were making a mistake. Well well well. EV sales have struggled and Toyota, Mazda and I think Nissan announced a partnership to design a...
His YouTube channel has been so informative. I wish I lived near you guys to be part of those meets. I feel like the MKV doesn’t have the same love in Southern California as it appears to have out in the DFW area. Soo many Mustangs, Chargers and Challengers out here it’s ridiculous. Not to...
I have seen a guy in my zip code driving around in his red MKV the last several months and the color has grown on me. Usually hate red sports car but the red on the MKV looks good. It will be interesting to notice after 2025 how many MKVs remain on the road or how many owners fall for the next...
Even with Covid I agree. I bought my first house late March 2020 when the lockdown in California was going on. Crazy times, but not to get off topic, I kind of miss the traffic being non existent and being home a lot. Vincent Christmastree (YouTuber… not sure if that’s his actual name) just hit...
This is deliberate by Toyota or maybe in their contract allocation with Magna Styer. Maybe Toyota was worried about flooding the market because it would dilute the value. Nonetheless, Corvettes are cool but I wouldn’t hold one long term.
These numbers are controversial because some people say that Toyota and Magna Styer have not built enough MKVs (as you can tell from the people on this forum who have been waiting for their orders) or that the MKV is just priced too high for a GT car. These types of articles also lead to people...
Not gonna lie, even as a CU Later Gray owner, the only other options I wish I could have had are the spoiler on the 45th anniversary or a Targa top if it is released in 2026. I was always a huge fan of the 90’s MKIV targa tops and S2000s. I honestly don’t think Toyota or BMW plan on doing much...
Those F87’s are starting to drop in price. I was also shopping for an F87 Comp in late 22’ when the prices had not moved and were still above 60k. Good choice on the MKV 6MT. I’ve had mine for a year and every time I drive it, the drive itself feels special.
In order for an engine to be...
It’s so intense with the Porsche market it’s crazy how many PDKs are available and barely any manuals for sale on the used market. Maybe the generation coming up as kids right now won’t care for Manuals because they will live in an electrified world and won’t know any better. I honestly think...
Makes sense. I feel bad for anyone who paid $10-$15k above msrp for our manual MKVs when the stealerships were taking advantage. I’m going to keep an eye out for a 997 and like you said, it’s a different beast. Gotta pull the trigger quick.
I think I might have missed your update on another thread. I saw you on that YouTube video when you first bought the 2023 6MT burnout white. Did you keep it or end up also selling?
Sadly I kind of agree as much as I enjoy driving and getting on it. The manual is fun, engaging and driving position feels like a cockpit so no knock on the car. I’m not saying I bought the car to resell or collect it, but it would be nice to know it retained its value in the next 5-7 years and...
The manual 997s are so hard to find in respectable condition. Every time I do a search it’s like 3 manuals vs 13 PDKs and the manuals are like 4 owners deep with 60k miles as an example. Or you have the typical accident reported vehicles. I had a chance at a 46k mile 2012 997 Carrera S PDK...
