Dang, had no idea how brittle our axles are. I only went to the drag strip twice last season for a couple test and tunes. Just wanted to see what it could do. My best run was 11.98 with a 1.74 60'. The car was also damn consistent. All 4 runs when I went in the Fall were between 11.98 and...

The oil level reading in our cars is not infinitely variable. It drops in quarter increments. What you saw three weeks ago was not the exact level. It was the level that was closest to the last quarter mark. It was probably right on the border between the one quarter left increment and the...

Perfect. Thanks!

Stock car, no JB4 or otherwise, what is the max boost pressure that can occur regardless of load or anything else? There has to be an absolute max. I think that’s what the OP is wanting to know.

LOL. Just trying to add a little humor to our Turkey Day is all.

Mine was significantly different after the recall. My CarPlay suddenly filled the whole screen, except I could no longer see it during the day. The engine would also shut off for no apparent reason every time I stopped. It was quite strange. The damn thing also made these annoying beeps and...

Read something interesting the other day. Chevrolet will be putting the new Z06 engine on a dyno before putting it in the car to make sure they all make the advertised power. The article said a 20 minute break in followed by the dyno run. Kinda makes a 1500 mile break in seem a little silly, huh?

Where are you in WV?

Lol. Your reply was immediately after my question and the two responses. I thought you were talking about that. My bad!

Here’s another unrelated notification then. How is my question about ecu unlocks and tuning not related to this thread? Is the title which references ecu unlocks and tuning code for something else?

Curious. What makes the Russians so much smarter that he/she/they are the only one or ones to crack the code. Surely someone here in the good ol US of A can figure it out? Fortunately, if I ever decide I’d like to tune it will be years down the road. By then I can’t imagine it won’t be a...

So, it's ok for you, the OP, or any us to disregard pollution laws because the individual damage we do is miniscule compared to those big bad companies and manufacturing plants? This really comes off as an entitled, selfish, and shortsighted attitude. I'm glad the vast majority of us don't...

Seriously, when the oil at minimum message pops up, put in a quart and go about your business. Being a little higher or lower than exactly 6.9 quarts (or 7 quarts if you're like me) is not going to make one bit of difference. You have to be significantly overfilled (as in multiple quarts) to...

That's actually pretty awesome. I also obsess about some things. Just not exactly how much oil is in the car... My OCD kicks in regarding symmetry, balance, and precision. If a gap is an inch on one side I will work for hours to ensure it's an inch on the other. Yes I've tweaked several...

I'm not going to waste my time trying to measure out exactly 6.9 quarts. Seven quarts reads full. I will 99.9999% guarantee you 6.9 does as well. I would have said 100% but I've learned nothing in life is ever 100% guaranteed. ;-) You are seriously overthinking this. Put in 7 when you...

Got the recall done, recoded all the Bimmercode settings, put on a coat of Nu Finish, picked up some sta-bil, and putting in storage tomorrow. Also downloaded a few pics from this season's autocross events. Next March can't come soon enough...

OP, and some others, are completely missing the bigger point. You are running (or ran - it seems the catless DP has been removed?) an illegal, pollution spewing exhaust. Someone mentioned fines as much as $20,000 for removing pollution control devices. I would not have felt bad for you for...

Thanks!

So, I just finished redoing all the bimmercode changes after getting the brake booster recall done. No issues with any of the changes. Happy to have all the warnings turned off, screen brightness fixed, and all the other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, nice to have sport+ back...

If you don't bother reading directions for the Chinese made products, you should start. Here's what buying these lights will do for you. To translate: It will be a non-stop, 24/7 party in your car. Your kids will study and get smarter. You will be more attractive to those horny campers and...
