Which coilovers do you recommend? I’m trying to find a local alignment shop with a Hunter wheel alignment machine to reset my steering angle sensor. Afraid to go to BMW or Toyota, lol. The car is really pissed off from my track alignment with lowering springs, but damn she handled beautifully on...

What do they look like or do you have a link?

100% agree! I wasn’t sure how capable she’d be on the track so was holding off. I’m so impressed with just the suspension mods, I know the seat and harness are inevitable now ?

I bought Eibach sway bars with springs. Paid my fav awesome mechanic to do both. Including the rear ones, dropping the subframe. I couldn’t imagine only doing the front. But to each their own. I certainly wouldn’t want to install that rear bad boy.

All the way from Japan ?? I love it ? Not to bad to install either

I’ve tried to record my exhaust on my fancy iPhone and it’s nothing like being next to the thunderous real thing. I did upset another Tesla yesterday in my work parking garage, not intentionally. The poor Tesla’s alarm ? went off. The owner was probably alerted as well… I’m pretty sure they get...

Dude…. I’m soooooo bad at this. I felt better about my misgivings thanks to a “National Academy of Sciences” professor teaching us organic chemistry back in the day at FSU. He told us during our first lecture he has this most prestigious award but not to correct him with any spelling or...

I just used this place, bmwpartsdeal.com. Full of beautiful catalog of parts and diagrams. However (see pic), out of stock is an issue everywhere. Any suggestions @razorlab ?

Thanks! If it wasn’t for this steering angle sensor reset causing all the computer warnings to come on, I’d probably just leave everything where it is. I don’t have to push a button to turn every babying sensor off. Again, ABS would be nice but it did help me focus on braking better each and...

For tracking: front and rear sway bars always (on every track car I’ve owned since 2002). I’m a cheap bastard and every race shop I’ve been to, 1st thing they always do (besides seats). Lowering springs (coilovers eventually), every SPL upgrade available, track alignment (negative camber all...

Holy shine Batman ? What did you do to that thing???? Ceramic coat, wash/wax…. Do tell!!!!! Edit: I was so impressed, I replied b4 seeing you answered later…. I’ve got phantom (matte) grey. Do you recommend I do the same thing??? Are you in the detail business (is that your business in the...

I would get a spec alignment and only add more negative camber all the way around (like me) if you’re going to track (harder/more turning = greater contact patch with the road). If you’re interested in drag racing, definitely ask @zrk.

Thanks to @razorlab I got the parts I was missing and a replacement for a bent tie rod. My mechanic found out the code “480AE4 front axle steering angle, signal implausible” causing my problems. An alignment place needs to do it. The one I wanted to use is still backed up from the hurricane...

If I hyperdip my wheels red someday, I could throw on that red spoiler lip and emblems. Wonder if they’d come off as easy as the hyperdip does? It’d be fun to be able to change that stuff on the fly ?

catless dp (thanks to @NitroYellowMKV) and AWE track is brutally loud. Don’t have a clip but @Down167 sounds very similar. Love it ? I do wear earplug with my helmet at the track (LOL). Not kidding….

I’m really surprised how much this attention this car gets at track events. From MX5s, Porsches, Vetts, Ferrari folks, you name it, come around and ask me how I like the car, what I’ve done to it, etc. Guess it helps too that she keeps a good pace with them, lap after lap after lap :)

Sport mode with the ZF trans in manual mode worked beautifully at Homestead. I had a diff computer error after an alignment 2 days prior to track. Didn’t have time to explore that further, so as a result, all the nannies were turned off, including ABS. The Hawk DTC 60/30 pads performed...

Sequentially and it does it very quickly. I absolutely love this ZF trans in manual mode btw… It’s been the smoothest I’ve driven on a track. Found myself even shifting during a few turns. It was that gentle/stable… usually I wouldn’t want to upset the car with a hard downshift or upshift during...

That was checked. Thanks razor! Taking her in today... Apparently this tool: https://cartoliinstruments.com/product/snap-on-zeus-diagnostic-system-20-2-domestic-asian-and-euro/ can give a little more info than my OBDLink or JB4.

Possibly ??‍♂️ Will ask! Seems like there’s a code for everything. You’d think there’d be one for that ? They even had the extra fancy code reader: https://cartoliinstruments.com/product/snap-on-zeus-diagnostic-system-20-2-domestic-asian-and-euro/ Definitely worth checking. Thanks @razorlab ??
