I am curious as to why you chose Kinugawa over Booma Racing?

I removed the TCU long time ago I was still able to connect Apple CarPlay wirelessly However, Apple CarPlay kept disconnecting randomly, sometimes it would re-connect, sometimes it would not CarPlay uses a combination of Bluetooth and WiFi. Bluetooth does not have enough speed/bandwidth...

Thanks As far as being safe, I find that with my FL5, I am much more conservative than with my previous FA5. Might have to do with ripe old age of 62 and/or the fact that the FL5 was much more expensive, and I do not want to risk it... Ape style = no precision, no finesse, no smoothness, no...

Thanks They have lots of models and variation! Which one did you get?

I am having difficult time finding an ET60 wheel that is confirmed to fit the FL5. Where did you get your custom wheels made?

Thank you! I didn't want to mess with the wheel offset and geometry, since I know less than nothing about it... I'll expand my search for lightweight wheels at +50 to +60. I am not sure which post(s) I saw that mentioned that the best suspension improvement was a rear swaybar... The RV6...

I am not too concerned about unsprung weight, it is just that I only found out about the importance of unsprung weight yesterday. so naturally, being OCD, I started fretting and searching for lightest weight wheels (and 9lb LiFePO4 battery)

My FL5 is the first car I ever modded Obviously, I have very little experience modding, for example, I just learned about the importance of unsprung weight... I do not plan to race or track, but I do drive "enthusiastically". I'd be the first to admit that I am not a very good driver, I...

I just learned about the importance of lower unsprung weight (I always assumed that wheel choice was just for aesthetics, which i don't care at all about) so I started reading and researching about unsprung weight and lightweight tires I always planned to get 35 profile tire (265/35R19 on the...

Same predicament as OP. but now that I learned about unsprung weight, I am looking at lighter weight wheels I want to keep same geometry as OEM, which I believe would be +60 and since I want a bit more side wall, i.e. 35 profile, I believe that I should go with 18" wheel with 265/35R18 tire...

thanks I am looking at lightweight wheels. I want to keep same geometry as OEM, i.e. 19x9.5 +60 wondering if I should keep 19" or go with 18" i.e. 18x9.5 + 60 before I was looking at lightweight wheels, I was planning to go with Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 in 265/35R19 on the OEM...

I will not spend $950 for Antigravity, but I might spend the $230 for the Mighty Max I am 6'0" 170lb not easy to lose 30lb... as mentioned above, the car is an almost a daily driver, and I do not plan on racing or tracking it.

Thanks, I did not realize this about wheels / unsprung weight I always thought about choosing wheels as just for looks, and I never cared much about vanity... Which wheels would you recommend for lightest weight? It is my daily driver (though I work from home, so it is more like a...

Agree, there is no doubt that Antigravity is the better battery, specs and components, but is the MightMax good enough? As I get older and can afford them, I started evaluating and choosing more expensive tools and parts, yet I find that expensive does not necessarily means better, or a better...

Yet the Mighty Max is even lighter and much cheaper, the Antigravity is 60% heavier and over 310% more expensive. any reason not to purchase the Mighty Max?
