Decently cleaner with sai out of the way I have the gear wrench 10mm socket set, but the 1/4 drive magnetic short socket was amazing for this. That plus a wobble was easy work of the intake mani bolts. I wish all my sockets were magnetic now. https://a.co/d/5iOThPn

Did an entire suspension refresh. B6 shocks (ordered from damond motorsports), all new LCA, track arms, toe arms, bump stops, top hats, end links, CV reboot. Mine has M030 option which has good springs and away bars so I reused those. I did a string alignment and Amazon camber gauge. The...

Bad news, full exhaust is too loud. I want to keep the axleback because it drops like 25 lbs. I also want to keep the headers. So either resonated mid pipes or stock mid pipes and hope for the best

I live dangerously

Outside of a monsoon, can someone smarter than me explain why having a cone filter here would be worse than a stock intake box? The stock intake box is probably the biggest restriction on the car. Everyone says to do a 987 air box but that's a bitch because the MAF housing is a different size...

Ordered flashark headers for 108 shipped. Now I'm at a tuning impasse. I wasn't able to get my DME code to flash from Porsche Tucson or Scottsdale. If I had this, I could flash a ROW tune myself, or a 911 ROW tune. Rumor is 911 tune has more aggressive timing. So anyway 1. Send ECU to...

This is way too well done for me. I bet you're even going to have working AC

I think it's the exact same as flashark and whatever is on eBay. I should just order the headers too. I'm worried about drone, so I may modify the stock muffler. There's a way to drill holes on the inlet inside the box and it'll bypass all the muffling if there's a big pressure differential.

Been without a fun car for a while. Sold my ND almost a year ago for a Tacoma. Got the itch real bad for a project. One of my friends in California got a decent 2000 boxster for like $3500 or so. He was having fun. I decided to look into it. Ive always wanted to try mid engine. The boxster...

Here's my stock ktm 1290 at 11.3k DA lol. It's probably the fastest I've been 60-130 and it doesn't feel slow. You guys have some wild builds.

I've been trolling BIOTG for a bit. Valvoline 5w30 Extended Protection looks nice. D1G3, API SN+ and SP, ILSAC GF6A. Calcium is in check, moly is higher than what I typically see, zinc is high. cSt isn't bad either. HTHS 3.2 on valvoline site I was kind of looking for an oil that is both...

I had CST4, SRI, HPFP Internals, stock DP with 2nd cat delete and 3" cbe, Upgraded TMIC, EBCS 340-350 is what VD always said for me on e33. I forget my boost number but it was similar to yours when my capped port wasn't leaking causing me to hit 24 psi, I think my timing may have actually been...

If you had a leak pre turbo-post maf, trims would be positive as it's taking in unmetered air. negative trims mean the car is losing air. that wouldn't happen until after the compressor. So check both tmic couplers and the tmic to

the high negative ltft and the rich afr at boost points towards the car losing air after the maf sensor. It measures the air, then some of it escapes because it's getting less than it expects. Is your tmic ok? Did it like take a rock through the scoop and get punctured? one of the couplers pop...
