I‘ve done lots of track days with and without spacers and never had an issue with spacers. Just buy a good quality hub centric spacer with quality bolts and make sure you torque them properly. I’d trust the OEM forged wheels with with hubcentric spacers over cheap aftermarket cast wheels. I...

Okay I did the Tada upgrade (ports, wadding, EQ adjustment, ASD, etc). It’s a big improvement. I really don’t want to spend $2-3K+ on speaker/sub upgrades but am wondering what the next best steps are on a budget. I saw the Bavsound speaker upgrade (both just the speakers without the subs aNd...

Yeah that Tesla quote must be in error, I think most of the big online car buying services (as well as places like Carmax) are paying $50K range on used ones.

I will give you $18,001

I think the market has drastically changed even in the last month. My June purchase was $52K on a $58K MSRP vehicle, I really don't think I could get that deal again today. Just glancing at Autotrader there are 135 3.0's available right now in the entire country. And some of those are sold...

As the owner of two plug in hybrid vehicles, I simply don't see how the infrastructure will be there in 5-10 years to make such a massive switch to pure EV. I just don't see gas stations dying off that fast.

Yes and in my roommates case (this was back in 2000 too) he had out of state license, plates, and registration (all current) but they had proof he had been in the state more than 6 months. And totally agree, on your point. Having a license that does not match your state of registration is a...

They absolutely can. When I lived in Northern VA one of my roommates had North Carolina plates and license (with a current registration). Either the state or county must have been monitoring for out of state cars in our area because he woke up one morning and had a ticket on his car and was...

Almost a $100K for an M2 just seems high to me. Especially with what you can buy at or near that price range (GTS 4.0, C8/Z51, upcoming Emira, etc, etc). I feel like the Supra is a better overall value and much more distinctive design. Performance wise, it's almost a wash. Unless you...

Would love your thoughts if you like the sound vs stock. I was thinking about this same exhaust.

I spent several weeks driving a loaner Mercedes with the 9g tronic and the car seriously was always hunting gears. Drove me nuts. Now obviously that’s more about tuning than the transmission, but more gears is not always better. Same experience with the 10 speed in the Fords.

Exactly. Majority of Supra buyers will never tune their car, and most people buying used want the warranty. Every once in awhile someone will mod their car tastefully and get most of their cost back, but more often than not mods reduce the value. And some people also go way to far with...

I have been a manual sports car owner for the past 32+ years and when I test drove a Cayman S manual aNd PDK back to back, I found the PDK was a much better match to the engine. Just did not care for the gearing in the manual Porsche at all. I know you change out the gearing, but it’s not...

I would talk to OEM Audio but they did all the measuring and tuning with the stock speakers. Changing the OEM speakers should require a different calibration.

The majority of people complapining either don’t own a 21 or don‘t read the owners manual. When people complain about having to add some oil at 5K miles when they have bolt ons and drive their car one quarter of a mile at a time I shake my head.

So looks like around $1300-1500 there? Then the dedicated sub. Then the tuning, I don’t think $2500 is too much honestly. A really good shop that will spend the hours it takes to measure and EQ can cost $500+, depending on how much time they put into the tune.

I’m a big fan of REW for home theater. Laptop and calibrated microphone, it allows you to measure the frequency response and then use EQ to make adjustments. Guessing your installer is using something similar to dial in EQ. Your build turned out awesome.

At least one state got serious about people posting street racing videos. I could see more states doing this. No way I would record street races and post on the internet. Save it for the track. https://www.shawlocal.com/2019/04/08/no-longer-a-youtube-star/a9gfitm/

I wonder if it’s sway bar issue. Might need to lube them good.

Start with a JB4. Then you can bolt on as necessary with down pipe, etc. JB4 can be easily installed aNd removed. Do you have access to 93 octane gas?
