  1. Will probably switch back to BMW. (No, not a troll!)

    I've had a number of BMW from the v8 to the twin turbo six and have had excellent reliability. Plenty of stories and experiences out there, but that's the same for all brands. My last N54 turbo car was very reliable, and that much more expensive to mod than my current mustang. I drove that car...
  2. Safest Place To Store Your Mustang During A Hurricane

    What reasons would trump getting out of the direct path of one of the worst predicted hurricanes in recorded history? If you do stay, which it sounds as though you are, I wish you the best of luck. Stay safe.
  3. tuning stock car... worth it?

    That's what it's looking like to me as well, but nothing wrong with it. Fuel, conditions, modification are always changing so it would be nice to monitor the logs and have the ability to make the changes myself. Just not as familiar with the available software/hardware that the self tuners are...
  4. tuning stock car... worth it?

    I'm rather new to this platform, but it doesn't seem like many tune their own cars, but rather just load a tune. Kind of surprised most seem to use off the shelf tunes rather than dialing it in themselves. Most of the info I can find is Related to the brand, rather than the logs and specific...
  5. What feature did you discovered today

    So how do you get the digital read out of oil temp?
  6. Paint Flaking Off Rear Bumper

    The dealer may actually do a better job - the factory paint leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. There are tons of runs/drips that harden around corners of trim or panels; probably has as much to do with the poor fitment of panels and trim pieces.
  7. Battery drain after only 60 days

    First, Thanks for your service! Not sure regarding the battery coverage but would highly recommend some sort of battery "maintainer" while being unused. Lots of modern electronics can cause slight draws and it will be far better for the life of the battery. Why the reluctance?
  8. Whats in a tune file

    When it's opened in the wrong application.
  9. Whats in a tune file

    Damn near wrote the same thing, but backed out of the discussion. I think it's great to dig in and learn, it's how how I learned to tune my first car (different platform). There's no harm in taking interest and learning. Poking around to understand something is different than uploading it to...
  10. Whats in a tune file

    Regardless of whether he knows the answer or not, It doesn't mean that someone can't learn or discuss..... everyone has to start somewhere.
  11. Whats in a tune file

    Most of what we see are "canned" tunes that are known to be safe over a wide range of vehicles. Most of the "custom" tunes are tweaks of the original tune based on interpretation of the data logging of the specific engine parameters. Self tuning can "easily" be done if you understand what you...
  12. Whats in a tune file

    It's basically a group of tables that allow you to adjust/optimize the range of values. A tune can adjust the values of a single table or hundreds of tables. Many tables are interdependent on multiple tables so it's best to know what you are doing to have things work well or stay within safe...
  13. Muffler delete/resonator delete oudness in decibels

    Why not add a set of electronic exhaust cut outs on it and have the best of both worlds at your finger tips!
  14. Hand Brake

    Are there any options available for a different emergency/hand brake? I hate the way it looks and feels. Seems too big and awkward and feels cheap and doesn't feel like it stays Althea way down when disengaged... I almost would have preferred an electronic push button brake that's small and...
  15. Ford techs joy riding my car...

    In for dealer meeting details .....
  16. JLT Catch Can

    I'll take it. Pm'ing info
  17. LMR install kit for GT350 Manifold

    Damn, $50 for $3-4 worth of hardware!
  18. BMR Tech Tip: Check those axle-to-spindle retaining nuts!

    The easiest way is to simply check the torque... if it still makes the noise after torqued it wasn't the problem.
  19. What timing advance are you hitting?

    You need to have a data logger hooked up the vehicle. The original post was from a dyno, but you can also log using tuning devices that plug into your OBD port that pulls the info from all of the cars sensors.
  20. FML... HAIL.

    Love to see what that thing does in storms with 60-80 mph winds!
