  1. Exhaust Valve Rattle + Stuck Closed (Melted Plug)

    During/after a recent track day, I noticed my exhaust has a bit of a rattle (similar to rattling that others have posted videos of). CG Precision DP + stock catback. I also noticed that even in sport mode, my exhaust is quiet like normal mode. After some investigation, I found that my exhaust...
  2. Will the CG Precision DS-1 catted downpipe throw a CEL?

    Yes. Flashed back to stock to prep for a track day and the O2 sensor doesnā€™t love it. Of course, this is relatively expected as it doesnā€™t come with a ā€œno CELā€ guarantee. But I get asked this all the time. So, hereā€™s the definitive answer. Despite getting enough pulls in to get logs and...
  3. B58 Logo Apparel + Misc.

    Had this created on Fiverr then put on a hat. Might not be everyone's style, but sharing is caring. B58 Vector Logo: BMW B58 Logo.eps.zip Example usage:
  4. Dim DRLs - Are they dying?

    I just noticed the inner portions of both of my DRLs appear to be dimming. Quick googling shows that BMWs have experienced this prior to the LED failing. Thoughts? And if they are failing, does anyone know the part number(s)? Iā€™m two months out of warrantyā€¦ The ā€œheadlight moduleā€ I found was...
  5. Where should enthusiasts live in NC?

    My wife and I are considering moving from FL to NC for a change. I figured I'd ask around regarding the "enthusiast" scene and get recommendations on what general areas to consider that will support our interests in cars and outdoors activities. We like driving. I'm fine with the Cars and...
  6. Sidewall Comparison - Michelin Pilot Super Sport vs. Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02

    This post is mostly to add a visual comparison of the sidewall profile of both tires in case anyone else finds it helpful. I upgraded my rears to 295 PSSs when I got my Gram Lights, but I still felt like those looked stretched (fronts not so much). I didn't want to move to 305s, but I found...
  7. Banks iDash + Aeroforce Single Gauge Pod

    Just finished installing a Banks iDash Gauge and Scan Tool inside of an Aeroforce Single Gauge Pod (thanks for @Insomniac for pointing these pods out to me). Why I picked this combo: I've been looking for both a non-tacked on single gauge pod as well as a gauge that displays multiple...
  8. Best Value Street Tires?

    Iā€™m on the brink of wearing out my rear 295 Michelin PSSs from doing Supra stuff on the street. Discount tire has them at $459/ea. I think I just paid like $319/ea. 10 months ago. (edit: I paid $415/ea. I guess Iā€™m just whining.) I was thinking I could a) replace them with two more PSSs, b)...

  10. Clicking coming from front wheel while turning?

    After some spirited driving today, I noticed a clicking noise coming from at least my driver side front wheel. I believe I hear it from the passenger side, too, but it's tough to tell. It occurs when the wheel is loaded from turning, and the clicks pick up with speed. 16k miles Stock...
  11. Catted Downpipe Smell?

    Iā€™ve obviously had OEM cats in my cars, and Iā€™ve had a catless car, as well. This is my first time with a ā€œhigh flowā€ catted downpipe, and it still has some smell to it. More than I thought Iā€™d get from a catted downpipe. Just wondering if this is normal. It is a CG Precision DS-1, so itā€™s a...
  12. Sound Clips - Stock Downpipe vs. CG Precision DS-1 Catted Downpipe

    For my own reference, I made sound clips of the sound of my Supra before and after adding a high flow catted downpipe. I know some people are wondering how much just a catted downpipe changes the sound of the car whether it's to help them determine if a full exhaust is worth it or to see if just...
  13. Recommended Portable Vacuum?

    Looking for any recommendations on a portable vacuum for cleaning the car (12v powered or rechargeable). A large shop vac is not an option for me (at this time). Amazon reviews seem hard to trust. If thereā€™s any portable vacuum that has the ability to also turn into a small blower, that would...
  14. FS: Ecutek ProECU Programming Kit - $275 Shipped

    I have an Ecutek ProECU Programming kit for sale. This kit has not been used for flashing, and the USB cable is still unopened. The Bluetooth OBD2 dongle and USB desk key were tested for functionality, and they both work fine. Includes: Bluetooth OBD2 Dongle USB DESkey USB cable Case 2x...
  15. Maxton STREET PRO Front Splitter - Install Notes

    This isn't a full DIY, but rather a collection of notes I made from my install. This lip is not as straightforward as some of the 3M and/or self tapping screw solutions, but it is not overly difficult either. Let me save you some of the headache. Consider ordering from the UK site I actually...
  16. Botti Tunes Safety/Reliability vs. Others?

    Got gapped by a DP+E50 Botti tuned Supra (didnā€™t know it was a Botti car at the timeā€¦). Genuinely curious - are there any objective reasons not to go with a Botti tune from an engine safety/reliability standpoint? Something has always made me feel wary given how much faster they seem to be...
  17. Stock vs. Visconti Stage 2 OTS - Dragy Gains

    Keeping it short - Marshall and John at Visconti have been a pleasure to deal with and are incredibly responsive. They bench unlocked my ECU with a super fast turnaround, and they provided me with an OTS tune that absolutely woke the car up. It's a blast, and the numbers show really nice gains...
  18. CG Precision DS-1 Catted Downpipe Only Log Review + Dragy

    UPDATE: There was a little mix up in flash files, and these logs are for a stock tune with the CG Precision DS-1 Catted Downpipe only. (Dragy gains) Just flashed a Visconti Stage 2 93 Octane OTS tune via Ecutek PhoneFlash on my. I have a bench unlocked 2020. Only hardware mod is a CG Precision...
  19. What Strut Brace is this?

    Can anyone help me identify what strut brace this is? It came on my car from a prior owner, and while I like it, I'm just trying to figure out who's the manufacturer. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
  20. Slow stock 60-130 times?

    Iā€™m trying to get a stock baseline to measure gains from upcoming mods, and I was a bit surprised by my recent dragy results. I donā€™t believe Iā€™ve seen any ā€œstockā€ (not stock hardware with a tuneā€¦) 60-130 times for a 2020 Supra (so, 2-port). First two attempts, I was in the 15s with a...
