is there some underground black market for triple seven carbon hood vents that I don't know about? :hmm:

ironically, RaceLouvers probably has more wind tunnel and cfd testing than all other carbon vent vendors combined. https://occamsracers.com/2024/04/25/miata-fender-vents/ https://racelouvers.com/test-data/

Hmmm looking through the jb4 forums it looks like it could possibly be the (hotside) of the intercooler loop. Seems plausible, but the behavior still seems weird.

using whatever the autologger for jb4 is. can you share what the dataset looks like on bm3? i wonder what "transf" actually is, then.

ran 7 sessions at gingerman yesterday, noticed that the trans cooler (pump? fan?) is pretty lazy and would only kick on once every ~5 minutes but that would be enough to bring it WAY down. does anyone know if this can be controlled via custom trans tune or bm3/mhd? Upgrading the pan or the...

you should be fine using the boost gauge and bov from the same source.

mostly correct, there are a few additional items which are different from usual recommendation. stock pads/fluids are surprisingly good. I've done 2 days so far (gingerman and autobahn north) and a 3rd this weekend. will let them ride until the end of the season. not much love for carbotech...

dave ramsay is okay for people that are awful at personal finance/self-discipline, but his guidelines are almost never the optimal way to do things

I think that design is the old one, with the bendy carbon sheet in the middle

all my homies love reduced pumping losses

glad you figured it out before cutting holes in your hood (and not resolving the issue)

anyone having issues with the tcu not obeying the kickdown disable? I even tried cycling the setting off and on with subsequent flashes, but the pedal button (and left paddle hold) still kicks down.

do you actually want an investment or just an excuse to keep the car? highly doubt a car can beat a low cost index fund over 20 years. an exclusive supercar, maybe (but insurance and maintenance might cancel out all your gains). a toyota, no. a bmw, absolutely not.

Another option with a good center turnbuckle design is the dinan set. Unfortunately, does not come with eccentric lockout kit so you'll need to buy that separately. https://www.dinancars.com/products/suspension-hardware/toe-links-rear-control-arms/rear-toe-link-kits/parts/D280-0025

In general, if you are octane limited, a larger turbo will let you create more power before hitting that limit. This is largely due to the right-shift of the powerband, since there is less cylinder fill (per cycle) required to reach that total flow rate (per unit time)

there are threaded holes on the edges of the trunk but you need to cut through the carpet to use them. however the holes are NOT m8 despite what was mentioned in the thread. i bought a set of m8 bolts and they were too large so i gave up...

Sent you a msg. if you're able to meet this week or weekend I can do it for you i vaguely remember the tmps error causing an issue for drag guys, they have to do some kind of sequence with the traction button to do a burnout (?)

So I decided to copy your homework some more and discovered that the "JACKPAD" brand of adapters on amazon are slightly too short to make contact on the top of the pad, so the 3M tape was doing nothing. Had to switch to a slightly taller adapter. In retrospect I should have just bought exactly...

I ordered a replacement driver side few weeks ago (broken tab, which btw, very fragile). the new ones still appear orange when reflecting, but light up red. can't mistake them in the sun anymore. of course, it's a dice roll if you order from a us vendor which version they'll have. this also...
