    Your civic with the hub failure isnt that much different than Miata hub failures. You're pushing the suspension so hard with G forces it wasn't meant to have lol. Im glad you're ok and didn't total the car. I second switching platforms. What will you do if the big boy hub upgrade doesnt work or...

    Damn. That sucks they arent standing behind their product. You weren't even boosted which makes it even more wild. I could understand if you're throwing 30-40 psi at something there's other areas for failure but a high revving NA build? No. I also understand your issue with the c clips for the...

    Why not get some of those rubber puzzle mat pieces? Thicker than cardboard so it should be more insulated and less stiff...

    Beware of the cheap parts, For they shall bring you issues!

    I hate to say this but a ton of people who sell automotive performance parts that are "made in the USA" actually come from China. Sometimes you just get a bad part. Not saying that everyone does this, but a lot do.

    cant start | new here looking for help

    Do you have a set of jumper cables? If so just use the negative portion. Clamp one down to the block and the other to the negative battery post. See if that helps. You said the ground was rusted at the HPFP. Bypassing the factory engine block ground could help identify if there are further...

    Raider got so Buzzed

    As a technician seeing a white interior makes me think "dammit now I have to shower and change before I pull this car into the shop" Are those really the wheels? If so you need some bags on it

    The BMW M6 build

    New update. 2 weeks ago I had to do my first "repairs" to the car. An ignition coil on cylinder 8 failed and my blower motor wasn't working. Was able to buy both parts brand new for a total of 150 dollars. Not bad. Today I installed two tires on the front. The old ones were bad with steel cord...

    Welcome! As a current technician for GM I can tell you things are probably worse than when you worked for them. It seems there is never truly and end to the stupidity that is General Motors. Good company to work for though.

    The BMW M6 build

    My bad I didn't know they were I max size. I post from my phone in mobile mode. Yes this is a backwards V8 where the intakes are where the exhaust would normally be and in tjr valley is the exhaust manifold/turbos. It's a weird setup but surprisingly not bad to work on.

    The BMW M6 build

    So one of the bad things about this car was trying to find a spot for my phone. If I put it in the cup holder it would flop back and forth during any driving maneuvers. I needed a phone mount. I had purchased one of these wireless chargers for my truck and it worked well. Decided to get another...

    Send it to Wiseco first. If they have to pony up for an engine then let them. Or at least give them a chance to do so. If you can call the guy in Ohio back and get an email address for him. Have him give you everything he said in writing. It isn't him you'd have to go after in court it's the...

    The BMW M6 build

    I had debated for a long time to buy a BMW due to my friend having one. He owns a 2018 M3 with FBO and it rips. Most of the M models were outside my price range specifically M4s and M5s. But not the M6. I owned a GT500 and my brother wanted to buy it so I sold it to him then bought the M6 with...

    Are you going to open up the transmission as well and double check that? Also what about a supercharger instead of a turbo? Stock fuel system should be able to work with 5-7 psi
