I don't understand why this is ever a point of contention. If you start modding a cars engine past the factory specs you are inherently introducing additional longevity risks. It should be obvious to anyone that manufacturers are doing anything in their power to store peak values to a table...
I'd bet the PPF is probably playing a factor in the color being slightly off as well.
On a side note...that entire PPF wrap must have been expensive!! I've wanted to do it, but at the quotes I got I figure I'll just buy a new one in two years when the rock chips start irritating me enough ??
It's obvious how little it weighs watching the install video where the guy single handed holds the entire axle back in place. This thing sounds mean, can't wait to hear you videos.
Buy a GR86. Life is short, it's going to be a fantastic car and much cheaper to both maintain and own. If you get the itch to up the power slap a Turbo kit on it or trade it.
All this keep the Prius talk is making me throw up in my mouth. ???
Just paint them. You don't want that in the back of your head despite how small that risk may be.
The wheels have a pretty thick coat of clear on them so it's not hard to scuff them enough to get them painted properly or rattle canned.
And I agree with others here...who the hell thought two...
+1 for uniden R7 I've got two of them. Got refurbs for $399 on ebay and both showed up as brand new with all accessories and case.
They've easily paid for themselves on several occasions.
This^ contact toyota corporate, file a complaint with the DMV, leave them reviews.
Just blast them until someone does something or at least warn others about that dealer.
Just another classic example of car dealerships out screwing people at every opportunity.
Ha! I had a Dakar Yellow E36 M3. I sold it so cheap and part of me regrets it, but life is too short to drive the same car for too many years.
I did 5w30 in that car and had 160k on it when I sold. Motor was in amazing shape, buyer immediately took it to track after minor suspension mods.
So this thread really made me question the 0w-20. I'm at about 4k miles changed the original factory oil a few hundred miles ago and was going to go 3k (7k total miles)to change again to 0w20.
So I reached out to a friend of mine who owns a shop working on BMWs and has been in the business for...
That's awesome, but I guess what I'm looking for here is what would be your recommendation based on your experience to current owners looking to avoid a major failure at 30k miles?
