Different. Not better, just more "traditional" or "normal".
It feels closer to the GR86, but the "F1 Aero" bits feel very contrived and out of place on the Adro bumper. I think it would look better if they designed it to have a more traditional grill opening, but at that point, the entire...
Carbuzz is a garbage site. The few I can find around are asking for $5k more than I paid in 2023.
But yeah, I looked up values on my car after watching a video a C8 buyer complaining about depreciation on one he bought used, and trying to convince himself that "prices have stabilized" right as...
That's pretty amazing. I was hoping for something with at least two gauges so I can see boost and IAT at the same time, but it looks like that's the best option.
Is anyone running a OBD gauge pod to get details like boost, IAT, oil temperature, etc? My friend has one of these in his 235i, but it's pretty cheap looking, it's also massive because of the tach, which I don't need. I was thinking of something like this but figured I'd ask here if anyone...
IDK, my old WRX had a turbo swap and the stock clutch lasted until I got rid of it (around 80k). Both of my 1.8Ts had tune + downpipe one lasted until I got rid of it (90k) and the other made it to 120k, but limped that last year or so. My Mustang had light mods, but did a lot of test and tune...
Thanks @exe36m3 . I'll try extracting a bit of oil if the light comes back.
One thing I did notice is a bunch of schmoo under the filler cap, so I cleaned it off along with the mating surface on the engine. Then we cleared the code. But I haven't had a chance to drive it again.
Yep. I took it off again and checked that it was seated correctly.
I also went out with a rag and checked around the filter housing for leaks, and I didn't see/feel anything.
I just changed my oil and I'm getting a CEL related to crankcase ventilation. I did a search for those terms and didn't see anything.
Any ideas what this could be? I don't see any leaks, and I followed the procedure from a Vince Christmastree video. I used the recommended 0w20 oil, I changed...
The person making this comment probably assumed that it was common knowledge that portable trickle chargers exist and can be had on amazon for like $90.
But since that's not common knowledge: most portable jump packs have a trickle charge option. They work incredibly well and will probably...
Yuck. The LC is too big and too floppy as it is, and the engine is has now isn't doesn't even get it up to $50k sports car standards, much less $100k. The LC is an objectively terrible sports car. People are just so enamored with its looks to notice.
"but it's a GT car" = making excuses...
It does understeer, but you have to be going so fucking fast to make it happen (or it has to be damp out). It's genuinely not a concern on the street for me. I'll regularly rocket around twisty roads pulling 0.9+gs without losing traction. And I'm still on the stock, relatively crappy...
Interesting. How does this work? I assumed one could poll PT-CAN for actual delivered torque and the display merely calculated HP from that data. But if you can fake out the display, that can't be how it works.
As an aside, I saw on your YT videos that your HP goes to 600 under WOT, is that...
At the track, I usually rev to 3500 and side-step the clutch. This is good for a 1.7x 60 ft on factory tires. On the street, side-stepping at 2500 works pretty well. I've out-launched automatic AWD cars with more HP on the street.
For all the hate the CDV gets, it does make launching the...
