Thanks! May pick one up and go catless.

Did the big daddies simulator work?

Curious, you wouldn't see any benefit from tailoring your tune after putting an EOS (the one I'm looking at buying) manifold on a car? I guess this makes sense (i.e., it's just colder air), but I've always assumed that to take full advantage one would need to re-baseline their ECU/JB4 tune. I've...

That's not true. My ex-wife was really fun, but could definitely be considered a downgrade by all other metrics compared to my current wife.

So check this out: I was watching the install video again for the harness bar and noticed that Ben very clearly has the hard plastic trim pieces detached from the carpet material on both sides of the boot. So there has to be a way to do it, I just can't figure out the clip without a fear of...

Oh FFS. Why BMW, WHY?! Thanks for the information. I do appreciate it.

I searched here and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for - apologies if this is a repeat question. I'm attempting to install the Hochman harness bar I purchased, and because it's larger than most, a significant number of interior panels must be removed to slot it into place. I'm down to...

Yeah, fuck your one way streets!

The theory is that it allows you to see the curb that you're parking against to get close. Legally, in most places, you should only ever park against the curb on the passenger side of the car, facing in the direction that traffic is moving.

Are you both the same people? ? Yeah, I got serious about racing when I bought a '96 Miata and started doing track days with it. Slowly modified the car to mostly include suspension tweaks - coilovers, sway bars, bushings, etc. I'm extremely glad I started with a Miata because, like you both...

I had this concern as well but figured I would give it a go. I plan on doing some testing to see what impact it has, if any.

Yeah, it isn't a closed system, as you discovered. Would make no difference in terms of performance if it were a true "ram air" system on this car (or any forced induction vehicle for that matter). The turbo is already squishing and blowing to a far greater degree than a "ram air" system...

Why you gotta do the Miatas dirty like that?!

Why are you second guessing it? Have any pics of it on the car with everything buttoned up? I have one of these sitting in the garage right now that I'll be tackling as a winter project. It will take me a while to complete an install like this. I have the red flair for the inlet, which, like you...

This is what we all want, my man. Options.

I'm sorry for your loss of a loved one. That's always rough. When my dad passed away back in 2013, he handed down to me a beautiful blue BMW 525i. He loved that car. It wasn't performance car material, but it was an amazingly stable highway cruiser that did better than you'd expect at speed. I...

Nice! The R32 is such a bad ass car. Can't imagine being in one of those putting out 600hp to all 4 wheels!

Ouuuuuuch! What timing to go out like that. Always sucks to lose a car like that you love. I heavily modified a new GTI VR6 back in '96 (I'm a VW guy at heart). I had a prototype big valve head on the car, about 50 miles into the break-in process, and it dropped a valve and destroyed the motor...

Nice! How does the single exit compare to the AWE Track?

Of the people I've seen, it's typically to move onto another platform and start the whole process of building it from square one again. I've also see this happen with people affiliated with a shop - they'll buy something else to build to have customers follow along, generate sales, etc...
