Installed by new badges. Need some help with the hp calculations. These are, by definition, stickers. Stickers are worth 2 bhp apiece. And based on BMWs ability to generate more hp at the wheel than the crank, I ought to increase that from 2 to 3 whp. But they are a set as well as...

The guy had my sympathy until he took a selfie with the fireman.

Got my GEN 2 Thicwhip A90 Supra Badge Kit from American Panda Design. Comes with the Social Media chip. So I made my car an Instagram Account. I feel like a total nerd. @2022a90supra • Instagram photos and videos Chip only seems to work with the Android. Unless there's some permission I...

Typo?

Interesting. So the take away is the only wheel hp to wheel hp claims are comparable. Short of pulling the engine and testing on an engine dyno :) Any brake or crank horsepower claims have to simply be ignored. Ok. Nice to see we get more than we paid for :)

Howdy, Trying to compare different upgrade paths. And comparing HP numbers always brings up the crank vs. wheel hp. I'm sure several forum members have run a dyno on stock to get a strong understanding of their starting point. Can anyone provide those results? For example, Toyota says we...

Howdy. Quick reminder, our German friends view the world a little different than Ford. I'm sure you'll have a dozen questions of why, how, or is this broke. Take a breeze through the manual, it'll save you some time. My personal favorite is programming the garage remote.

Dealers and the people working for them can and often do suck. For sales guys, I think they live in their world of tactics and halve truths for so long that I honestly think they're nose blind. Classic Supra half-truth -- "every Toyota has one qualified master tech that has gone to BMW school...

Benvenuto! Being a car guy from Italy, I don't suppose you have any insight into Ferrari at Hungaroring this weekend? Binotto making a mess of the Scuderai.

Thanks! JB4 adds boost, so I presume increases temperature and volume of exhaust gases. Anyone have problem with the cat in the downpipe burning up? This was a complaint with a roots style edlebrock super charger common on my previous car. Is the JB4 OEM Cat safe? Highflow AA Downpipe Cat...

Have you never seen F1? That's why they give so much horsepower. Turn the wheel, floor it, stop just before it over rotates, done.

EPA Mileage estimates are self tested. Maybe they hired a former VW engineer that had a great idea.

Welcome :headbang::headbang::headbang:

Thx for the info! I was wondering why everyone was playing mad scientist at the pump. Curious if it's volume limited (the volume of fluid required for corn exceeds what the injectors/fuel rail can squirt) or if it's alcohol content on the plastic and rubber. More of curiosity though, if the...

I've had good experience with LucasOil. Bottle is worth 2 octane and was fairly consistently for me. Enough to bump up 1 grade of fuel. Price wise it's terrible alternative. But having a bottle in the trunk when you get caught out in west Texas is nice.

Put the cat back in it.

The modern MX5 is the ND. The community breaks the variants up by numbering them in chronological order. So the upgrades to the power train was dubbed the ND2.

No love for the MX5? I daily drove one for 6 years and had a teenager at home. People overestimate the amount and frequency in which they carry cargo. The days of the tall station wagon need to end. I hope one day we look back at this era like the Mustang II. When you do carry cargo --...

Been sifting through the threads on the forum and am a bit stuck. Curious to what the "easy" power path is on the 2022. By "easy", I mean 0 down time, 0 stress on the rest of the drive train, don't need more air, throttle bodies etc.. In my previous car it was a header and tune (and simply...
