That would look cool, but just covered under the heat shield, right? I like this this can probably pass for stock with a stock-ish tune if one wanted to unload the car as such.

You wouldn’t happen to have a dragy, would you?

The only thing bothering me about this pic is the black door handles. Screams work spec to me (despite obviously not being the case). If it’s gloss ABS, maybe there functionality in hiding scratches, but that’s my first impression anytime I see black door handles. The mid-size segment is...

Can you get your insurance company to give you some money for your “OEM wheels” that were stolen (minus your deductible)? I think they’re ~$700/ea MSRP or something like that.

I wouldn’t say more “purpley”, but rather a higher chance of very occasionally catching a purple hue here and there. But it would pretty rare and very subtle. This thread should give you a good idea of the color. https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1566248 I think Portimao...

There are tons of factors within and outside your control that will affect your rates. Unless you’re a multiple DUI offender, there will be an insurer offering an acceptable rate. If a carrier is jacking up your quote because you, idk, used your prior insurance… then keep on shopping around. Not...

Not in an HPDE, by my double sided taped on TRD rep spoiler (along with Amazon wind buffeting fixes) have been fine to 150+ and multiple 120+ pulls. I would not trust a double sided taped-only front lip, however.

Thanks! Really interested in seeing the results. We have 3 different tuners across 2 (I believe) platforms exploring this turbo option now. (at least, on the forum)

Who’s doing your tuning and what platform?

Having recently purchased my first truck, I can say (based on my experience on forums), that truck-only people kind of live in a bubble. They’re not necessarily interested in going fast. They’re interested in going fast for a truck. Those same people will pass up superior powertrains for v8...

I bet it’s Valencia Orange based on this pic.

It’s ok. This road has 318 turns in just 11 miles… with 0 intersections. And the road quality is smooth. Yes, you should stay on your side of the double yellows as there will be people going just as hard as you in the opposite direction. But beyond that, if you time your visit appropriately...

I feel like that HP range is typical for DP+93 tune. Here’s a Botti tuned car making that (5:20) And Visconti claims that with their OTS file. Itsbassi dyno’d an unfinished FP Green tune and it was in that range (with really high TQ, however). I feel like this turbo upgrade should have some...

Circling back on this. I accidentally bumped the car into neutral at 42mph. I simply (and quickly) revved back to the last known RPM and put it in D. The trans re-engaged very smoothly. So, if you’re rolling with any amount of speed in N, do what you’d do in a manual car to get it back in...

Yes. Gains/times: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/stock-vs-visconti-stage-2-ots-dragy-gains.13423/ Sound clips: Supra Downpipe Comparison - Stock vs. CG Precision DS-1 Catted

Tuned almost immediately, so no CEL. I only drove about 50 miles before a tune with no cel, but if that matters to you (DP with NO tune), I’d go AA for the guarantee.

At that power level, the gains are minimal and likely not worth the trade off in a daily-ish driven vehicle. I went catted (CG Precision), and there is still some smell. Pretty much at my limit for a street car. I haven’t smelled it personally, but if a 400 cell cat like AA’s DP reduces the...

They (LE) do things like this every now and then. We’d run into people at the track (in their beater or their friend’s car) who have reported getting their car impounded for being at a meet that escalated. Most of the people getting caught up in this aren’t “car people”. They’re “hood...

You pay for insurance - I say use it. If your rates go up later, shop around. I regret not using insurance in my past due to fear of rate increases. And when I got over that and have used it, it was painless. Also, rates (especially in Florida) will go up anyways. Just shop around regularly...

Nice! What kind of flooring?
