Is LC not working out for you?
Thanks. Yes its working, I'm doing same thing, I'll keep practicing.
DA is a huge factor, too. Mine is at -1,000 a good amount of the time so the engine's chomping on nice dense cold air.

racing steering wheel

Hi, Im a new one here, I was wondering should I set up a racing steering wheel. I mean, I like the way it looks but IÂ’m not that sure about the practical side. Does anybody have it? Is that suitable in terms of options and stuff. Which one would you recommend?

Hello
I have a bmw m8 convertible and i want to change the exhaust chrome tips to black but i realized they are welded to the muffler
Do you someone in nyc or jersey can cut the weld or a shop that can take care of that
I dont want to change the whole exhaust for just that given my car is a lease and it is not worth it unless i find a cheap used m8 comp exhaust
Appreciate your help

limeypride How are the H&R's treating you 1 year later? I'm debating whether to go H&R or KW for my incoming F93. From the photos I've seen, the M550i H&R's have a perfect drop/rake, whereas the KW's sit just a bit too high in front and knowing myself, I'll just start looking to replace the car if I can't get the right stance.

They look great! They don't ride so well, though. I think most folks are opting for the KW HAS solution.
