Pressing the start button three times to get into diagnostic mode should have literally 0 to do with this issue because any time you try to put the car into diagnostic mode you shouldn't be pressing the brake pedal. This issue, according to BMW/Yota, is because of "not so firm" brake press and...

Interested in the wheels but I live in Savannah GA. Do you have any idea how much it would cost to ship them? Just the wheels.

Yea man the instructions that MST sent with that intake system are garbage. The MAF is definitely mounted very solid, it isn't going anywhere. I've driven the car several times since the install and everything is good, no CEL's or anything. Thanks for the response.

So I purchased an MST Intake system from Speedindustry and when it arrived the kit was missing the two screws for the MAF sensor. I reused the factory screws and of course this caused cross threading and one of the screw heads broke off 100% flat with the surface of the MAT sensor bracket. Over...

Downpipes do make a difference in power even without a tune. I had a downpipe installed on my car a couple of weeks ago before a tune and it did in fact add power even without the tune.

I mean that could be possible. It's just odd that he said the car also has an excessive amount of exhaust soot on the tips all the time.

So this is after cleaning it?! Have you done any Google searches to see if maybe it's just an issue with those tips? Man if it's tarnishing the tips that's bad.

The stock turbo can get you to 500whp with E50 and Methanol and also, If you have a local tuning shop you can talk to, you can get them to order Ignite E90 jugs for you. Buy them and store them in your garage. It lasts way longer than pump Ethanol as well. Or perhaps just ask them to sell you...

I'm 31. My parents are old school. My dad drives a 69 GTO and has a 78 Trans Am as well. I grew up around cars and got good at helping my dad restore his. My parents made me get my first real job at 16. Made me ride my bicycle to work, if my older brother wouldn't give me a ride, just so that I...

I was born in 89, close enough?

Yes and no. What he's describing sounds as if it's so bad it's tarnishing his exhaust tips. He's had to replace the actual tips because of it. Usually exhaust deposits can just be cleaned off with some elbow grease or a polisher, but if it's actually etching or tarnishing the tips themselves...

Yea man that doesn't sound right. I have a bit of exhaust soot on my exhaust tips but I also haven't cleaned them in probably 2000 miles. The soot on my exhaust tips is dry, like dusty, not oily or watery feeling. If your tips are oily or watery and it's bad enough to ruin exhaust tips...

Nope the bag only had 5 of the little hex bolts, 1 big bolt for the heat shield, a nut and 2 washers.

Are you tuned by chance? How do the PS4S hook compared to factory tires?

Just went for a very spirited drive after the charge pipe and MST intake install. Holy hell the turbo noises that I'm hearing are making me giggle like a little child. Also, if anyone can give advice please do. One of my MAF screw heads snapped off. The screw is in the intake pipe and part of...

Installed the MST intake V2 which includes the turbo pipe, as well as FTP charge pipe. One of my MAF sensor screw heads broke off trying to snug it up into the intake pipe. I'm so pissed but I don't think it will cause an issue. The MAF sensor is very snug in place.

I like the roof wrap!

Are you leaving the intake airbox open because it wouldn't fit with the strut brace? Also, do you have any way to monitor if the heatshield is doing anything? I'm interested to know if the Verus Heatshield actually does anything to make it worth the purchase. My car is stage 2 tuned and it gets...

Yea quite often. I would say 60% of my driving is in sport manual.

Same man. This car doesn't know what normal driving is. It's always under heavy load.
