I mean, I did a brake, trans & diff fluid flush earlier this year as part of my yearly service and the system was bled then. I didn't notice the difference until after the valve itself was removed. But either way, whether it was the valve or bleeding the fluid, there was a tangible difference...

Happy to report back after installing everything. CDV Delete wasn't a world changing difference but definitely made the 1-2 shift a bit better/clutch feels more like what I'm used to now. AutoSolutions Short shifter with the Rogue Engineering Rear Carrier bushing, and the Rapid designs diff...

Depends on how seriously you take it I guess lool, if it's just a small handful of casual track days every year you'll be fine. If you actually care about your lap time, are gonna be running 200TW's, and wanting to do other suspension mods down the line like LCA's, bushings etc You're...

FWIW, BC Racing also just released a HAS kit that also includes adjustable camber plates for the front. I'm not sure if anyone is running it yet but apparently it's somewhere near the HKS kit in terms of spring rate/stiffness, but the adjustable front camber is a nice addition since every other...

We'll see. Best case scenario it makes some sort of improvement, worst case scenario it makes no improvement but it's at least not putting a bit of extra wear on the clutch. I'm sure the bushings/shifter are gonna make the bigger improvements but I figured while I'm in there, may as well delete...

Where do you live? I think that plays a big part in it. I live in Canada so if I had to own just one car, it'd be the GRC just for the fact that it's more daily friendly and will handle winters a lot better. If you live in a hot, or temperate climate where snow/freezing temps aren't really an...

It's probably the best BMW manual I've ever felt, but it is still very decidedly a BMW feeling manual if that makes sense? I haven't done the CDV Delete yet, so the 1-2 shift is fairly clunky. I'm planning on doing the CDV Delete at the end of this month along with an Autosolutions Short...

When your springs were installed, did they torque everything down with the suspension loaded, or unloaded? If it was unloaded, there's probably preload on your sway bars and knuckle bushings which can cause some less than desirable handling characteristics. Make sure that things were torqued...

My not so hot take is that the Supra should have had optional Recaros, something like the sportsters

I haven't upgraded since I'm still at stock power. However, I did see all the threads pop up when the MT's first came out so part of my plan for when I do eventually add Downpipe + Tune is to upgrade to a PTB Clutch

If you're on the stock clutch, your clutch is cooked. It's pretty well documented that the stock clutch doesn't really hold up past stock power/torque levels. Time to upgrade to PTB.

If the wrap was done properly and isn't sun bleached/destroyed, any reputable shop should be able to take it off without issue. Although it's probably worth having them claybar and paint correct the car after, even if you don't plan on doing PPF or anything yourself.

Bend the valve with some pliers so it opens more and it'll get louder

I've looked into this before as I wanted to do a custom run of TE's at one point. In order for RAYS to do a custom run/spec of wheels, they need an order for 40 wheels minimum, or 10 sets. Having 5 with explicit interest just means that MI will actually respond to your emails when you reach out...

If they're 18x10.5 +30 or so, you can just get rid of the spacers entirely in the rear, the wheel/tire will fill out the wheel well without them.

Just running Eibach US Springs. I might switch to Ohlins at some point but I've been happy with the Eibach springs thus far.

I have the 19x9.5/19x10.5 Advan GT Beyonds and I fitted the OEM TPMS just fine, the adhesive part on the back of the TPMS that's supposed to sit on the inner barrel didn't fit fully flush, but it did partially seat, and there was not any stress on the plastic or valve stem itself. I didn't take...

Those look like TE37SL Black Editions, but someone put the OG TE37 Stickers on them instead of the SL Stickers. It looks like those are the old style SL's as well that used the OG Face instead of the new Saga face, so that would probably make them Black Edition II's. Person above is correct...

I'll take a look at this but I have the creak at all 4 corners and I didn't undo the LCA's or anything in the front to do the springs. But I can take a look at those rear bushings next time I have the car up on the lift, or I'll have the dealer take a look. For me personally I just thought it...

I have not, it doesn't effect driveability and only happens under such specific circumstances that I'm just living with it for now. I'm putting the car away for winter next weekend, and at my annual service in the spring I'm going to ask if they can hit the sway bar bushings and rear knuckle...
