Lol idk if I’d even say glorified, that’s still an obnoxious tank that needs to be mounted somewhere haha

I hope it is because idgaf about the manual Supra. I just wanna put in a deposit for a GR Corolla which is supposed to be released October of this year if all the microchip shortage stuff doesn’t bump that back again

its on their instagram

Well @visconti posted this morning showing they’re still shipping ecu to femto

God it’s been a minute since I’ve updated my build thread because LITERALLY NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. my poor car has been sitting at the dealership for a month waiting for the freaking Vanos Central Bolt. The dealer is replacing it under warranty along with the exhaust side cam gear in order to...

Lol we’re not all software engineers! I’m only an ME haha

That refund is NOT always refundable and you have to be willing to accept that. Dealers here want a 1000 deposit and the only way you get it is if you buy the car it goes towards the loan or can be refunded HOWEVER if you buy the car and you hate it than you’re out 1000

Parts will be a pain in the ass to get. I’m currently waiting on a central vanos bolt for my exhaust camshaft. Just the bolt itself and it’s been on back order for a month and just got updated today to not being available until April. Keep in mind that’s just a SINGLE bolt. I could go out to my...

You’re not crazy there’s definitely additional pipe welded on

Is it a guy? Because if it’s a woman I can guarantee everyone is telling her how awesome it looks

Even he wants nothing to do with this lol

Why was op banned I see him post regularly

Yes there is room without separation of the trans and engine. Bmw designed these very well to be fairly easy to work on. thats a relief, id rather not worry about them needing to pull me entire engine and transmission apart

These remind of those Jdm wheels with the the teddy bears on them

My mistake, I read 100+ things a day with people messageing me and etc. So I forgot it was warranty work, just scrolled up to the 1st post again. I only read your last post which made it seem like you were doing it yourself. Cam gear can be replaced without pulling the engine. Cam gear is...

This isn’t me doing it, the warranty work is being performed by the dealership I’m fully capable of doing this myself with the cams locked. The part I’m trying to understand is how the dealership is saying they’re changing the cam gear as well as the central bolt since it does not seem possible...

Looking at this tear down from papadakis there is NO room to remove the cam gear without pulling the timing cover, replacing the rear main seal of course and then having to remove the guides and the chain before removing the exhaust cam shaft. isn’t this timing component on the transmission...

This is good to know, I knew that for the central bolt the timing could be left in the locked state but for the cam gear I would expect the chain to need to be removed. I didn’t see how it would be possible to release tension on it, remove the cam gear, install the new one, and then reinstall it...

Bump

Until they realized their engines DIDNT have any chance of issues lol
