CNC machined aluminum, hub centric. Just got these for $70 for...
I ran a chromoly lightweight flywheel in my 1995 M3 a few years back. I used it for track days (about once a quarter) and a stop/go commute (70 miles). The car's driveline responsiveness is pretty dramatic, definitely revs to redline a lot faster, noticed it going into/out of turns. Personally...
Also cruise the bimmer and f30 forums, quite a few on there pop up too. ProTuning (BM3 maker) doesn't care about the type of license (Supra, M4, 335i) as long as it's in the same price point. At least, that was the way it was a couple years back.
Yep, the kid changes everything. Been there - now on the other side where the kids are driving themselves.
If it helps, my wife said no 2-seat cars, because kids ( I was looking at an RX-7). So I went to the BMW M3 side (2+2) and been there for 25+ years. Picked up the Supra because it...
Two weeks is a good timeframe to let the suspension settle.
Alignment specs, before you start asking for numbers, set your goals for handling.
"Even tire wear and good handling" is still a little vague. :)
For instance:
1. Do you want the car to handle better at highway speeds or on the...
Go easy on the guy gentlemen. This is a now era when they don't even have auto shop or teach drivers ed in schools, so all the masses know is to bring the car to the dealer.
The Supra uses the BMW B58 motor. I've got about 20+ years working on BMWs as a hobbyist guy.
So for the oil change you...
So, I've been around BMWs for over 20+ years. They are VERY sensitive to toe-settings. Meaning if one side reads 1.1 the other side needs to be 1.1. If the opposite side is 1.3 the car does weird things when cornering and definitely at highway speeds.
So tell the tech to match both sides. This...
You want to do this! Agreed!
DO NOT just go to the dealer and get it installed, they will need to keep it for a day or two until the tech get's the email or notification.
Here's what I did for my 2022 a month ago...
1. Make your appointment say 2 weeks out from now.
2. About 3 or 4 days...
Apologize, I have the Akebono Ceramics on my F32 BMW 435i
and it appears Akebono only has the ceramics for the Supras for the fronts... EUR1892B. No part number for the rears yet.
I can't speak to the Hawk Ceramic but for the Akebono versions for comparison, for the street, they are decent. The BIG pro is the dust is almost zero. My matte black wheels takes months before they get dirty from pad dust. BUT con, they take more heat and a bit more pedal to come to a stop.
Thanks NitroYellowMKV!
Yep, I see those same prices for the east coast. Not sure why California is $4-$5k more than you guys. Most of the '20s are hovering around $45k-$50k. The 2021s+ are all over $50k out here.
Hi Bryan... thanks for saying hi. There *might* be another person named Percy. :D
But I've been in the Miata, BRZ, BMW forums and clubs for awhile. I'm down in the East Bay (580/680) near Pleasanton.
But yes shopping Supras... because it's a BMW designed for Asian people like me!
