Yeah its a Gen 2, I was really curious what would be required to go up to a gen 3 and what parts would need to be swapped out as well as the legal aspects of doing so (I live in CA) but since I plan on supercharging it I figured I may as well put the engine it came with.
Yes, low oil...
This thread changed my next mod from QA1 Cf driveshaft to front and back Baer deep stage drag brakes. FWIW i've seen nothing but bad reviews on the DSS driveshafts even though it is much cheaper.
My mechanic just finished the install of my new engine. The bottom end was damaged so it had to get an entire engine. They didn't tear it down to see what was actually damaged but 2 different mechanics told me it needs an entire engine after the compression and leak down tests.The mechanic moved...
I guess you could always post pics and brag about it on the forums lol. If people ask about my car I just say intake/exhaust. I've been to car meets lately and its mostly people bragging about their cars and mods they haven't bought yet. If I had to pick between being out driving my car or...
Anytime I've had a tire plugged they used the little strand of rubber. Those mushroom plugs look like much higher quality since the tire pressure helps to keep pressure on the top of it for a tighter seal.
I've had AAA for 3-4 years up until recently. My commuter car broke down on the freeway in the middle of nowhere and when I spoke with them they said you cannot ride with the driver because of COVID. I said don't worrry about it, just cancel my membership and i'll call another tow company. The...

Is this the same 335 you have in your sig? Doesn't a FBO mustang make more that that on E or is the weight too much of a factor? They seem really close in weight as well, on paper it looks like a drivers race.
Thats mybad if I came across as one of those bench racing guys that hates on everyones car. My response was more towards the guy that joined that day and was starting trouble. And now that I look back it wasn't even him that was talking about BMWs lol. It was the guy with the 335i, which oddly...
I was going to move to Tracy to cut some time off my commute because i work in SF. Then covid happened now i dont even have to go to the office anymore lol. Tracy has some nice areas but their priceshave gone way up. More and more bay area people are coming out this way.
Then you clearly haven't been anywhere near California lol. I would use the term infested. The guy across the street has 4 of them.
And I know people with supercharged stangs that would mow them over lol. It's all about who you come across. Its like a honda guy saying that a civic can beat a...
FWIW my car is manual and all bolt on and I haven't lost yet to a bmw of any kind lol. I've only owned 1 bmw and it was the biggest waste of money I ever spent. 2 weeks after purchase an oil leak caused the belts in the engine to shred. Fortunately I didn't have to pay the damages and I...
I remember explaining carb exemption and 50 state legal modifications to a cop tha tpulled me over and his reply was "it's still modification to factory equipment which is illegal". I signed the ticket and just paid the bail. This was before I was challenging every ticket I received, which I do...
