my 2019 R does this between 3500 and 4200 RPM when the car is HOT after i push it up one of the local mountains. i always hear it hissing/tearing against the canyon wall in 3rd when the engine is at that RPM on partial throttle or deceleration. it didnt always do this, it maybe started at 8k...
The performance envelope is higher on the 2019+ since all the systems (magride/abs) are set up for a stickier tire. That only matters if you track the car or drive quick on backroads/canyons.
All good advise here ^ I hand torque them with non marring socket, set the car down, and use 150 ft lbs set on a torque wrench.
I've got 14,000 miles on my carbon wheels. I'm In LA but car was bought in WA and driven around there for the first year including a couple road trips down the west...
Very exciting if true!! Please let us know about it. Need to change brake pads before next year at some point.. haha. And I don't feel like having to do the one time use bolts and damage more aluminum on the knuckle.
only 2 track days and 13000 miles on the R car and original pads. I am not at...
pop the hood after a good drive. I had this happen after stopping the engine shortly after a high temp blast in the mountains. Opening the hood and trying to drive 10 min later always works better (starter is happy) than not.
Were you using the oem carbon wheels on the 19 R with PS4S?
Yeah... the car is too fun and crazy. If you live anywhere with twisties, you would have to be insane or a grandpa to dull down the experience.
Yes removing the front left tire is a must imo. It makes it much easier to get torque wrench access to the oil filter cartridge and for inserting a bendy funnel to minimize spillage onto the airdam and other suspension surfaces.
I bought my 19 R new from a Washington state dealer. I moved to CA 2 years later and smoged+registered it without an issue. All stock, no tune. There's no specific cali hardware to my knowledge.
The wheel will only fail when the brake temps get to the point of failure. 100 degree day and killing your brakes like an endurance race to the point of supreme fade might do it. Has anyone heard of a failure of the carbon fiber wheel due to heat because of a scrape in the coating? I've got a...
305 4S wont fit on the rear R wheel? i wouldn't like the 325 poke on the rear but wanted the 4s.
I make look into these tires to maintain the high grip level of sc2 on cf wheel instead of the 4s. Thanks for posting this.
Same thing. On my 19R, every 1 out of 10 times, the 3nd to 2nd downshift closes the valves and its silent with weaker throttle response. its really strange. the exact same thing happens to my friends 20 HEP R. the car stays in sport mode with sport exhaust, but ive noticed this maybe once on...
