Wagner USA never has them instock, while Wagner UK always shows instock. I went with a known UK based distributor which I’ve dealt with in the past. Got a manifold for $2500 shipped, they checked availability prior to taking payment from me. Once paid I had a manifold at my door in less than a week.
You don’t have to physically drill into the car, go to a competent shop and have them put nutserts into the factory side skirt and the aftermarket hardware will attach to that.
Didn’t look into it too much, some said that the $1000 was just a deposit? Meaning there would be a remaining balance to be paid upon time of shipment?
Smoking deal if it’s $1000 all-in. Let’s see how it does when it’s released, at bare minimum should be better than a csf unit.
What’s the exact setup? What caliper are you planning to test? A90 has the smallest caliper of the 3 variants.
Chest flex? Lol I’m just passing along info. Don’t worry, no one is trying to take your trophy as the forum know it all. Experience with this brake swap on an A90, no. On another...
18’s will fit, just depends on the wheel design. G20 with the 374mm rotor clears 18” oem wheels, E9x track guys have also been doing this retrofit.
G80 have 380mm brakes and they clear with 18” Apex wheels.
San Diego isn’t far from a popular restaurant in Tijuana called “Hong Kong” I hear the waitresses are very hospitable. I don’t have personal experience there, but I know people who rave about it.
For maximum protection HTST viscosity is what’s important when selecting an oil for strenuous use. Even with LL01 spec not all 5w-40 oils are equal.
Attached below liquimoly vs motul 300V, there are non racing brands that are comparable to motul spec without the price tag.
I think kaj got sweeper mixed up with riverside. His description I’m picturing flat from riverside apex, light lift for the kink and braking for phil hill.
Would need a tuner familiar with valvetronic tuning for a factory DME. Race teams are all on standalone, many with valvetronic locked out and using the throttle plate the conventional way.
A good body shop can do this for you.
Buy a MK4 bumper they cut it in half or more for it to fit the contour/width of the MK5 and plastic weld/glass/bond it. BMW guys did this to fit 1M bumpers before they made the replicas for different chassis.
Just make sure you redo all the ducting after.
