Corner balance is a learned operation. It is not nary as hard as it use to be with electronic scales all tied together and, not all that expensive nowadays.
I am pretty sure if you pop in a set of springs the suspension will be way (weigh) out of balance. No two springs are exactly the same ...
We understand the problem.
BMW as I stated may have a shutdown sequence that will protect the Turbo in most conditions
Lots of people out here need to know what kills a turbo.
Any turbo will die from residual heat sink.
To the point
The only thing "breaking in" on almost any engine is the ring package.
The procedure is totally dependent on them.
I will suspect high-end narrow rings are used with a perfect fit and hone.
High-end expensive engines are broken in on the dyno.
Does BMW do this to every one of...
As for me-I dont think I would trust any shop anymore.
A kid with a computerized Lazor setting your car as per the numbers, and hardly knowing what they stand for, and mind numb, is not to my way of thinking.
Wheel alignment is dirt simple with a few simple tools, or you can go full on and...
Feather is with some fine grit.
Tape it off and shoot two-part primer on it.
Retape a litte bigger and shoot color .
Move the tape job back again just a bit more and shoot clear.
Polish It with compound and be done.
No big deal
I am hoping that I can just drive onto this lift and hit the switch and up it will go.
It has worked for Porsche, Corvairs, Dodge Chevy, Ford etc etc etc
I don't k now what could be that much different.??
But I thought I would ask.
I guess I will have to inspect the bottom of the car carefully...
We just ordered a new GR and trying to get orchestrated here.
I know the GR has jacking points,
But
Can it just go on a normal scissor lift being raised on the outside of frame, on both sides?
located between front and rear tires?
The front and rear wheels will hang .
This is how I have done...
I am not sure why you would want a stiffer sway bar and not want to go more Neg on the camber?
If you are needing it for more body control, Neg Camber will help with the tires holding...usually.
If you have money to burn do what ever
But
Remember Porsche 3.4 and 3.6 is not IF they will they will bore score , it is a matter of when.
Not a cheap fix.
Not my opinion but POA and several others.
That is why I opted for the GR.
I loved my old 911...but these are getting to be...
Great question!
We have a Gr on order and I am trying to come up to speed on all the info and mods.
Some types of cars and flashes have to have dyno and AFR set with almost every change.
If I have this right , the GR does not?
thanx
I come here from the Porsche side of twn.
But as of late, they are not selling what I am wanting.
I looked at a lot of different cars even some Itillian ones (scary)
Alas, I ended up with a car near Porsche and its land of origin
Austria, Germany , it os all good.
