I do that a lot. It's mostly because if I see a nice car, I know they take care of it, and they're probably more likely to respect another person's car and not smash their door into it

Yeah it settled quite a bit in the first day or two, I'm not seeing much change now. I don't want the rear to drop anymore, lol, it looks perfect as-is IMO

I installed the H&R springs and an Eibach front sway bar over the weekend. I'm still waiting for it to settle but it already looks so much better, and the handling difference is ridiculous. It feels like a different car, SO much more planted and stable through the corners, I'm honestly blown...

There's a blurb in the user manual about the system doing some self-checks that can result in reduced power/throttle response within the first 30 seconds of starting the car. I believe that explains the times when it happens immediately after starting the car (that's the only time it's ever...

Are you sure it was a 2021 with an ECU date after 6/1/2020? There are two different "locks" that people refer to, maybe he was confused? 1) Early 2020 models are completely unlocked and can be tuned simply. 2) Later 2020 models and early 2021 models have a "soft lock" that requires a bench...

A quick and dirty explanation: Let's say the car currently runs 15 psi at full throttle and you want it to run 18 psi. With a flash tune, you actually modify the lookup tables in the ECU itself so that it targets 18 psi natively. With a JB4, it sits in between the manifold pressure sensor and...

Why do you care what other people do? It's a simple, cheap, cosmetic mod, just like the hundreds of others that people do every day. It's no different than a lip, sideskirts, spoiler, interior accents, reflector deletes, etc, etc, etc

Looks great!

It's because the windows are frameless. For a good seal you want the window to roll up in between rubber seals on both the inside and outside of the window. The only way for that to happen without a frame is for the window to roll down slightly when opening/closing it. If it didn't roll down...

As have I, lots of bad things. The main problem is that titanium is stronger than steel by weight, but not by volume. This means the titanium studs are weaker than the steel studs they're replacing, and I've seen numerous cases/claims of them shearing off when under load. That means no...

You could probably fit one in the passenger seat and take 4 trips

My guess is they forgot to use the extended lugs, accidentally used the stock ones, and stripped out the threads in the hub trying to torque it down.

Yeah I don't like the whistle sound of the HKS SSQV either. I had a Synapse Synchronic on my STi that was perfect, just a blast of air when it opened, no whistle or chirp or anything else.

I like them. I certainly wouldn't want to go wider since you can already see the tires starting to poke out past the fenders, but it's at a good spot. 10/13 or 12/15 are ideal IMO, I wouldn't go wider than that.

Not in the UK, but I have the Future Classic 12/15 spacers, they include extended bolts

FYI - Verus is working on a 2021 version, according to the rep I spoke with a few weeks ago they expect it'll be ready this fall.

But your dyno is only showing 430 whp and 450 wtq (I don't count that boost spike at the beginning), which is what people get with just a downpipe and a tune. Does that dyno read low? How does it compare to the stock turbo with a downpipe and tune on the same dyno?

A while back the windows on my wife’s mini (also BMW) stopped doing the little half inch auto up/down when opening/closing the doors (it didn’t fully stop, it just got real inconsistent). It ended up being a weak battery, the low voltage was pissing off some of the electrical systems and...

$600 including removing/remounting/balancing the tires and rebuilding TPMS And yep, just your standard gloss black

I think so. I don’t know the details, but the shop that did mine removed the center cap before coating and then put it back at the end.
