do you happen to have a picture of how you trimmed your deflector? i tried to follow this f-chassis video but it seems like our arm is thicker AND more bendy to clear the tie rod. by the time I got it on the arm and trimmed to clear the splash guard, there really wasn't much deflector left and...

There are a few jpgs in there. Maybe try replacing this file and seeing if the head unit animates the smoke layer on top of it. Oddly enough, I don't see the M or Christmas-M logos that get triggered when you mess with the startup animation settings in bimmercode...

yes it's painfully slow. i used this thing with a checkvalve on the hose so i could footpump. with this thing, hitting the other bleeder is trivial - swap it and give it a pump. i still had a pressure bleeder hooked up so i wouldn't need to keep checking the reservoir...

Street driving, no matter how spirited, is nowhere near as stressful on a car as tracking it. Even if you think you're pushing it hard on, say, tail of the dragon. No, it's still not the same. And it would be irresponsible to try.

i would say it depends. if all holes are planar you can probably whip something up for a send-cut-send billet piece reasonably cheap. if the holes aren't planar, billet gets way more expensive since you need to start from a much bigger workpiece, and you need to drill at an tilted axis (time on...

yeah, and aside from the missing square hole, the supra bar seems to have a sharper kink right next to the green text

i like how thrustmods didn't even bother taking a real picture of the spoiler, instead ripping images off the mars performance website. and mars performance didn't even bother to take a real picture, instead opting for a shitty photoshop of their logo on the rear bumper. its alibaba all the...

Looking really close, the slots on the M one have more rounded corners. So while the M still might fit, they're probably not the same part number edit, some additional sleuthing, it looks like the supra brace and the g20 braces dont use the same stampings. they probably would have used the...

seems like I was the only one that noticed during the initial press release that the aftermarket hasn't done dick

Again, this is neither new, nor unique. the articles i linked directly address the younger generation's goals with cars. they don't buy them to invest. they buy them to enjoy as intended. If i were an auto engineer, like i was for close to 20 years, it saddens me to see a piece of machinery I...

i am talking very specifically about postwar to modern era US-made cars between, since that is how companies like Hagerty define it. nothing I'm taking about is new or unique - car and driver talked about aging out a decade ago. you are certainly right that concours d'elegance cars will continue...

homeboy looked like he was kind of lost and wasnt sure where he wanted to be

Updated with LED wing by Goghen Designs and included data sources and Lift Coeff Table. Remember, anything above 2.4 on a single element is likely bullshit if it doesn't have a gurney flap. Anything below 1.7 is seeing a ton of dirty air if on a car, or just plain sad if it's freestream. AJ...

you have a point, i do not know if there is a way to tell if xhp reverts back to a 2020 version of the bmw/zf map, or the one that came on my 2023 model year.

neutral/relaxed/etc are adjuatments to the xhp shift maps. there is a separate setting to revert back to use bmw/zf shift maps.

it's because while his car has value, it's rapidly declining. the people that want a bel air at this point in time are either passing away, or already own one. the number of people on this earth that own a supra and want a bel air is probably in the single digits.

if you are like me and think the perfect shift points would be right in the middle between comfort and sport, use these settings for D-mode. then in idrive, have sport mode use comfort transmission settings.

I also had a moisture absorption issue when i was on e85 on my last car, but thats because i had an evap delete and the tank vented to atmosphere over the winter. in theory a sealed system with charcoal canister would have prevented humidity from soaking in (or just filling with gas for winter...

there are countless threads saying the opposite
