    Dar-Dar's 1995 Avus Blue E36 M3 Project Car

    When I mean heavily, I mean 90 minute plus endurance races. For track days (not a beginner and I dont use one), they aren't necessary unless you live in death valley.

    Dar-Dar's 1995 Avus Blue E36 M3 Project Car

    No need for an oil cooler on that car unless tracked (raced) heavily. It just adds more points of potential failure.

    Dar-Dar's 1995 Avus Blue E36 M3 Project Car

    How much do you have to spend? lol Negative because when the oil pump fails you're ******. I did the wire. Buy the correct tool and learn how to use the tool before attempting. Check oil pickup tube for cracks while in there.

    Stella - '11 Alpine White BMW 335i (E90)

    The angle just makes her look chunky. Leave her alone. She tucks just nicely without spanx.

    Jrotax101's E46 Journey

    I've been dailying a 2013 RR FB6 for the last 18 months, but a friend contacted me and said he was looking at selling his E46, and I had first refusal. So long story short, she was delivered last week. I still haven't got a name for her, but she is sure pretty. I travel weekly so this is my...

    Official Meaty fitment / Functional thread

    Safe Gabe - thank you for doing it correctly. The car looks great. And you did it without taking a jigsaw to your fenders like some others.. Take note people! To the above question. Probably 255/40 and 225/45. The car is fwd. The front tires do all the acceleration, most of braking and turning...

    Official Meaty fitment / Functional thread

    The problem is as follows: Stock tire diameter: 24.7" Your tire diameter: 25.4" 235/45/17 is a bad size for these cars. If you don't know about aspect ratios being a percentage of the tire width then I would suggest reading up about it. 245/40/17 has a diameter of 24.7" - you may find these...

    '13 Civic Si BBK advice

    6 piston isn't a necessity. You can run a 1 or 2 piston caliper with 315 tires if necessary. Wilwood superlite calipers are good. Dynalite not so much. AP Racing make excellent products. Every manufacturer will have multiple tiers of caliper ranging from $10000 race calipers to $300 street...

Multiply the result by PI to get the circumference. 3. Divide the result by 360 to get mm per degree. 4. Divide the toe mm by the mm/degree result to...

    2015 9thCivic Dragon meet

    I've had the Ecoboost and the V6 mustangs in the past couple of weeks. The 4cyl is by far the better car. Also, the convertible is pretty horrible. (not that you're going for it, but I got one of those also)
