Not to mention a glorious flat-plane crank V8....

:werd:

Facelift looks bad.

Gross..
Oil consumption on the GT350 crazy.. hard pass

^ Yet.
Probably be like the Raptor & carry on the prior face for a year or two. Or the GT350 gets dropped rather than the new face :dunno:

You the type of guy who thinks a Focus SE is "fun".

Fuck oil burning, open the exhaust valves and turn money into noise.

I'm with you on this. The new front end is kinda derpy looking.

I burn more money in my whip than you'll do in a lifetime in your basic bitch Golf

For those of you wondering, there is a literal money fire in the back of Maj's car.

FFS, fix your TPMS

Pffft... 20 PSI or die

Not sure that's something to be gloating about lol.

That said, if you drive the Golf hard, it'll do like 10-12mpg. If you cruise for a long time, it does 32-35mpg. I'd call that winning.

So...you're choosing die then?

No, I'm choosing 20 PSI, I thought I made this abundantly clear

I run my tires at 48 psi. So cosmically, it balances.

Life maintained

48 up front, 20 in the rear, 5 in the face, 10 in the ass
cul0 fucks

Good grief, Maj, my M5 would be down around 10-12 around town, and that's a thirsty NA V10. Are you just running WOT from gas station to gas station?

I live my life a quarter mile at a time :chuckle:

My brodie was visiting
I'm on E and I filled up the night before
:rofl:

That's why at a quarter tank the V won't give you range

Smiles per gallon

Btw.. I still love the e60 M5 and my feed always shows new content on it. They're pretty much all vids of cautionary tales.

:rofl:
:sad:

My fave was one guy who did a swap on a bricked M5
It sounds simple, his journey was not :chuckle:
I think he settled somewhere around 15k after everything

Here's the update vid

Uggh. Great car when it's running. But, SO MANY scary stories!

That's why you're our hero T
You lived to tell the tale!

If the V engine bricks
I just go pick up another one for 1k + HF engine picker
:chuckle:

I think E60 M5/M6 probably is the best sounding BMW ever. Especially with aftermarket exhaust...

Absolutely agree

Agreed. Unfortunately it sits silent most of the time because it's broken.

I got two pinchers to help.

Jajajajajajaja

That is why when you see one, it breaks your neck. Per Acura's logic, Exclusivity FTW.

Anyone have experience with the Dunlop Dirrezza Ziii? Almost about to pull the trigger on a set but curious if anyone has any first hand experience with them.

I waas rockin' the star specs way back when....the way i see it, a different version, or 3.0, there would be improvements in tire tech. namely the rubber compound and tread blocks

Speaking of tires, as I'm getting ready to put my summer set on, I'm in need of new summer tires as the PSS are getting low. I'm looking to get the new Pilot Sport 4S in 245/40/R18. Looks like they are $222 each on both Discount Tire and Tire Rack.

I've had the Pilot Sport 4S on my car for five months. They're nice tires.

So I'm finally moving on from the Blackfire Wet Diamond paint sealant I've used for years. What's the new best one to use? I have a silver car and two dark(ish) blue ones.

Back at my old building now. Seems like the guy who daily'd the 570 now dailies a 600LT.

Must be nice /mizouse

Man, BFWD used to be the go-to here for years. Have you looked at some consumer-grade ceramic coatings?

I know! It was (is?) awesome and a great finish, just curious what the go to is these days.

I've looked into them but not ready to take that plunge yet. If I'm going to do the ceramic coating, I'd get it professionally done. No need to have me F it up.

Ceramic coating is bullshit
:io:

Cost wise, I think the professional coatings are bullshit. Most professionals charge around $1300 to do it. They say it lasts 5-7 years, but I have a hard time believing that. Also, you should use a specific soap to maintain the ceramic coat. With that said, the consumer line is a bit more worth while in my opinion. If you're comfortable polishing a car, then you should have no problem applying the coating. Something like CQuartz UK is around $100 to coat a car. Theoretically, CQuartz says the coating is good for 2 years, which is less then the pro line, but its also costs $1200 (on average) less. You can recoat with the consumer line every year for 10 years and still pay less then the pro coating that - theoretically - lasts 7 years.

I've had my car coated for 13 months with the consumer line product. I wash it using their soap, which is around $27 for a bottle. I use a 1:9 soap:water mixture and it lasts me around 15 washes. I've not recoated the car in that time at all, but water still beads like it did early on, and - most importantly in my opinion - the car is way easier to clean as the dirt and grime just rinses off the paint. It's amazing on wheels as well, since brake dust just wipes off.

The biggest misunderstanding I see on forums is that people think ceramic coating will protect from scratches and rock chips. Get PPF if you're looking for that level of protection. Think of ceramic coating as harder clear coat.
