I've had good luck with this filter on the N54 135i. Made in Germany with the same end caps as the OEM Mann filter. I like the reinforced filter material. If they start making one for the M3 than I'd use it too. Currently using it with Royal purple HPS 5W30 and risoline nano prime. Thanks for...

I have a 2005 Mini coopwe S, I installed the Scangauge 2 into the obd 2 port and my voltage while the car is running AT IDLE is at around 12.2 with the a/c on. If I turn all the loads off than I get to about 13.3-13.5 volts. If I turn on ALL the loads than it will get as low as 10.3 volts. When...

This is on a 1996 Mazda Miata with about 165k miles on the engine if the odometer is to be believed. Ever since I overheated my engine I've been going through a gallon of oil every 4k ish miles or so. A literal gallon. Of Shell Rotella T6. So basically I'd buy two containers of T6, One for the...

I have a 1999 BMW 328i and I was curious to know what could be done to strengthen the threads on the aluminum block. What would happen on these engines is that with F/I and an iffy tune the cylinder head would rise and rip the threads out of the block. (If using Arp hardware.) Now this can be...

And it seems to be holding up the punishment well so far. Very impressed with the FA20 Engine. I wonder how long the rest of the drivetrain holds up. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19206 ¨Car has over 150 dyno runs from testing a bunch of stuff. I would say roughly.. 50 runs...

Take a pic of your headlights and post what info about the bulbs you know. The more pics the better. I don't know if there is a thread that has done this before but here we go. H4's bluish color bulbs. I forgot what brand they are because I bought them at the beginning of 2007. Low beams...

Well that's it. I've had it. I'm tired of having to drain and clean my reverse lights of water and algae. They still work but when they get the algae in them they start to look like the set of Green acres. So I bought some Chinese Replacements because that was the only pair that I could find...

I just rebuilt my injectors but when I unplugged them for the first time ALL of the little pieces of rubber that are in the connectors that are used to insulate them broke. So what can I do to keep water OUT and that doesn't damage the electrical connectors? I do off roading so I don't want...

Okay. I wan't to change the ATF fluid on my car to Max-life so the whole car can have synthetic fluid in it, Also due to the fact that when i'm off roading the transmission gets really hot and periodicity I have to let it cool down. The manual only says how much to add to the transmission if...

I writing this about 140km from home. I started this morning with no issues with the car and all the driving was on the interstate and highways, right until the the very end. The more I drove on the interstate the more I had to floor it just to keep up with traffic. If I go up a hill on the...

So I decided to cut open my oil filter to see what it looked like on the inside. (duh) (^That was my reaction.) That's what the Anti drain back valve looked like when I took off the cover. And in the next pic you can see how the rubber valve has seated into the wrong position all this...

Well poopsticks. I went to go get some dog food tonight and while in traffic I looked down at the temp gauge. Past the middle and slowly climbing. I pulled over and let it cool down 7 times until I got home, (The needle never got into the 'red' zone.) The car only overheated when standing...

So I walk outside to do some things on the car I start the engine, let it warm up, shut it off and check the oil. Below the low mark. I was flippin a poo. I have no idea where the stuff is going. No smoke, new PCV valve, no leaks, this is the first time I seen this happen on this car. The...

Hey guys this is more of a question about the transmission which is a Tremec TR-4050. I'm considering purchasing a brand new 2012 F-350 with a 6.2 V8 and fully intergated stock natural gas system along with the regular gasoline. I was wondering if this was a decent transmission to be able to...

In the Andes and the Morrocoy national Park in the Falcon State in Venezuela. The first four pics are from when I was in the Andes, the rest are from Morrocoy on a path that leads to a very secluded beach, if you care in ANY shape or form about the paint on your vehicle then....I wouldn't...
