Something I've learned from E9x chassis, is that at a certain point, BMW will act funky about resetting service reminders.
I started learning that with the Supra, since I put so many miles on car in a shorter amount of time.
To get rid of the service notifications, just like on E9x chassis, if...
coolant pump failing that early is definitely something that shouldve been warranty work. But have to remember, dealerships hate doing warranty work. Techs hate it even more since they dont get paid the same rate.
Some dealerships are better than others though. When I was at 49,9xx miles, I...
With the little information presented, I'm going to make an assumption that you don't actually NEED a big brake kit. Sounds like what you actually need is just brake pads, higher temp brake fluid, and good tires.
Theres plenty of people logging hundreds/thousands of hours on track with the oem...
sounds like something that needs to be asked with dealer.
If not, replacement part is like $400ish.
I repaired the broken wire myself by taking plastics off steering column, and resoldering the broken wire for the BC button since my warranty was up 30k miles ago.
While the Supra's cooling system is much better than my N54, yes, I think it could benefit from an oil cooler. Just adding that there is a such thing as running stuff too cool.
260F isnt that bad honestly if it was stable. Most good engine oil will be stable against shearing at that temp.
Are...
Yup. There's a huge misconception that oil needs to be as cold as possible. Just like brake pads, there is a temperature operating range that they should be at.
My winter beater/track rat is an N54 335i and last summer I did a plethora of cooling upgrades so that it would survive track...
so the real question is, how do we buy these so that you can print them for us, and have them ship in our boxes that our diff braces will arrive in, so that we get lots of treats in one package? lol
My backup car is an E90 335i (which is slightly heavier than Supra), and I did the Brembo retrofit from F8X M car to open up endless brake pad choices.
I've ran Hawk DTC 60 (love feel, super cheap, excellent performance, but hell on paint and noisy).
I'm using my E90 as my winter beater for...
Would not recommend at all.
I've used the PMU HC-CS and they are "supposedly" similar to HC+ in heat tolerance, but offering lower initial bite.
Wore through them like a set of OEM pads.
Im using Pagid RSL29's on my backup car, and I love those pads. The cost does suck though, but have not...
In the south you should do more since you have the weather for it. In the Mid-Atlantic region, tracks arent open all year long. @Kenn and I have done these events so far since March of this year, and most of them were 2 day events, across 6 different tracks (not including the other track events...
