  1. Why no dual intake?

    It's not a question I am asking to undermine or bash. An honest question and I'd love a theoretical answer. I have noticed that all American sports cars of recent time (all Corvettes including C6 ZR1, C7 Z06, camaros, other mustangs, boss) all have a single intake design whereas all european...
  2. Forum discount for ford performance exhaust

    Looking to buy the full FP exhaust (not borla atak), if a forum discount is available please PM me.
  3. Axle temperature never goes down

    Yes, it doesnt unless I stop for certain periods of time. It starts at around 80F, in about 20-30 minutes, reaches to 120-130F and after about an hour or hour and a half of driving goes as far as 175F. Is this normal? This is just highway driving.
  4. Removing resonators without cutting pipes

    Is there any product that is plug and play which keeps the existing exhaust note and exhaust mode (i.e normal is quiet and sport is loud)? The question includes full exhaust systems. I looked at borla but it looks like the normal mode is significantly louder they say 70% of the stock sport...
  5. Steeda 2 point brace install - review

    This thing is probably by far the best car mod I have ever done with respect to cost/benefit. I cannot tell you how much I am pleased as the tramlining has considerably been reduced if not disappeared as well as the front of the car feeling much more planted. This is not the placebo effect as I...
  6. Oil consumption update

    Just wanted to let everyone know that the oil consumption for my car has dramatically changed in the last 1000 miles. It used to take about 1/2 qt every 250-300 miles between miles 1000 and 3000. Since 3000 miles, I had to add only 1/2 qt for almost an entire 1000 miles. I just did my oil change...
  7. Corsa xpipe - 14347

    Nice option for those who wants to take the resonators out without cutting them and have the option of reversing to stock. Does anyone have any experience with this? Was the install plug and play? How does the sound compare before and after? Thanks
  8. 6MT vs Dual Clutch

    I have to make this thread. Sorry, I do and it's not what you think it is. I have owned DCT cars for the last 10 years. My previous 6MT was a 335i from 2006 or 2007 I believe. I have always thought how "advanced" and how "smooth" DCT transmissions were. While it is true that in terms of...
  9. What tool do you use to remove these?

    I just noticed that there is a lot of debris/rock stuck in the rear diffuser (in fact the middle part is bent/sagging). I was going to remove the plastic under cover to clean it up but I dont know what you use to remove these pins. There are other set of basic push pins which is fine, those...
  10. Incorrect TPMS reading - all tires

    I searched this thoroughly but could not find any useful information. All 4 of my tires are showing 3 psi higher. I believe the car is wrong because I used 3 different gauges (2 of them very high end and accurate) and all 3 of them show consistently 32 psi. Car says 35 psi. I use the same...
  11. The old RWD with snow tire vs AWD with all seasons debate

    Disclaimer: This is not the GT350, but I dont see why the same wouldnt apply to GT350. I m considering adding snows for that car. I have been driving RWD sports cars in cold northeast almost a decade now. I have been through "the dilemma" of should I use snow tires or should I get an AWD suv. I...
  12. Low oil temp for extended drives - bad for engine?

    Its been very cold here these past few days (around 3F with wind chill) and I m noticing that my oil temp wont go over 158F. I always shift around 4k rpm and keep revs at 2500 cruising. Is this bad for the engine in the long run? I drove for 20-25 min today and it would go down to 145 if I sat...
  13. Rev limiter hitting at 8,000 rpm

    I know that ECM will limit the revs if the engine is cold. This isn't that. This happens from time to time, but basically the rev limiter comes in way sooner than the actual red line of 8250 rpm. Cylinder head temp around 200F and oil temp around 180F. Initially I told myself its revving so...
  14. Track Pack to R Spoiler Conversion

    Has anyone done this successfully? What did you do with the holes in the center of the trunk? I know one of the companies that sell the spoiler came up with a plastic piece that you attach there, but thats not something I would do. I'm curious how the holes can be plugged and if this requires...
  15. Factory Technical Service Manual

    Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the full technical manual for this car? This is not the user manual but rather what the techs at dealerships use. It shows every single procedure and outlines torque figures etc for all components. I know it costs money, just want to get the right one...
  16. No drill front license plate bracket options

    Does anyone use any of the solutions out there? As far as I know there are two, one screws underneath the splitter reusing the screw points the other uses a 3m adhesive in the lower portion of the bumper itself. Neither has good reviews, concerns being, the first solution mentioned reducing the...
  17. Regarding the quickjack groupby thread

    I was reached out by the moderators who informed me that I wasnt allowed to do this unless the retailer applies for an authorized seller position through the site. As a result, the thread was removed. I apologize fully to the moderators as well as everyone who was interested in buying it. I just...
  18. MGW Installation Questions

    Hi, I have a few questions regarding the install. I watched the video twice now, and will attempt to do this myself. - How complex of a job is this for someone who has never done anything besides basic maintenance work (tire changes, oil changes, brakes, diff fluid etc). The video is...
  19. The "I dont use 6th gear club"

    Ever since getting my car (now 1700 miles), I think I'm on 5th gear 95% of the time on highway speeds. 6th gear is just way too tall, no torque there, and to be honest I am having difficulty passing any cars unless I'm traveling above 90 mph. It's a coasting gear. As a result, I just dont use it...
  20. 1st gear popping out

    This has now happened 5 times in 1300 miles of which the 1st time it happened was at mile 7 when I drove the car out of the dealer's lot and then it happened around 500 miles, and the last 3 times happened within the last 100 miles. Clutch is fully engaged, 1st gear is in, trying to...
