Ummm yeah, that would also cause an issue. The two little lines are a pain in the ass. I have mine zip tied on with T&B electrical ty’s. They have metal clips in the mad tey hold really tight and don’t break or fail.

You can buy them on Amazon in quantities less then 1,000.

I was about 1" if that away from being T boned in a round-a-bout today. Some lady in a giant black Kia SUV apparently didn't know what that big YIELD sign meant. I was shaking for about 30 minutes after that AND it woulda been the side I just polished yesterday.... Go figure. Careful out there folks, b*****s be crazy.

 

I, not U. Sorry for the typo

I'll be visiting Wayland today to pick up some blackout tail lights. Finally.... He's got a good deal on this set- https://www.waymotorworks.com/blackout-tail-side-light-and-trim-set-r56-r57-r58-r59.html

 

It must be a new location. It is soooo clean... and empty.

Aired up the Cooper's tires...wow...minus 4#! Car runs like it's not wallowing anymore. Damned winter's cold......

 

I ordered 4 PIAA wiper blades for my cars a few days ago. They were ordered on one order with quantity = 2 2 18" blades, 2 19" blades.
Yesterday 1 arrived in 1 very big box. Today, two more very big boxes were delivered with 1 blade in each. I suspect the 4th box will arrive on Monday. I guess Amazon needs to get their quotas for "free shipping" up.

 

Dave, How often do you do that?

 

Once a year before the Dragon and it is 100% not needed.

The coating on the car will last 2 years easy but I am OCD and like to clean / polish / jewel the paint on my car and coat it again. It’s hard to say my 13 year old R53 with 103,000 miles is not a daily driver but the fact is it sits in the garage a lot until I need it.

I have the oil changed every 3k / maybe twice a year if that. I always do all my maintenance, oil change and everything in the Spring before the Dragon and have the oil changed again right after I return from the Dragon no matter the mileage.

Example, I sent my summer rims out to be refinished nd when they come back they looked perfect. I cleaned them, prepped and coated them. Now it was still winter and I would get bored working (at home) and I would coat them again and again. When it finally got warm enough to put them on they each have at least 5 coats on them.

 

Just throwing this out there:

Would a bigger intercooler affect my longterm fuel trim??

When I had put it on it was at around 12-14% fuel trim. Put the stock one back on and it is at around 3-5.4%.

Which intercooler was it? I'm not well versed on fuel trim, does that mean about 10-ish% more air/fuel was getting to the TB vs the old intercooler?

 

The F series cars have the best seats. Even the regular S seats are super nice compared to the previous Gens.

 

The seats are the only thing I like about the new cars The stereo (HK) and interior accent lighting is better too but not good enough for me to take the leap.

 

The family back in Sconsin is hoping for the snow to stop too.
I didn't know BFG made a G-Force Super Sport. I heard of All Seasons and Comp 2's, is the super sport just released?
