Not sure, its just a suggestion. I personally never torqued down the bleeder screws to 10 ft lbs, I just tightened them back with the wrench and haven't had any bleeding. I've done like 8 track days and cooked my rear brakes one day
Is it possible that they didn't do the proper bleeding sequence? After you go through bleeding them you do need to cycle the parking brake 5 times and then redo the rears. Thats normal so unless you know you probably aren't going to do that
Because of the strict emissions in Europe, they are faster on the ball game when it comes to specific recommendations for their cars vs here in the US. I think in the EU manual for the Golf R it recommends a 40 weight oil.
My guess is that before oil companies started coming out with all of...
I dont know about the Motul oil formulation but 0W-40 isnt really obscure for this engine. The ITS Race Car uses 0W40. Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 is a low grade 0W-40 that sheers into 5W-30 still conferring protection and its commonly used with alot of people who have turbo DI I4s for track use. Porsche...
Im not sure if its worth it. Not into tuning but was told that dealerships will be able to know if you swap the ECU because of the mile logs so it won't do anything to protect you from a warranty denial
My opinion is to do the rear. Imo doing both wont really alter the tone in a positive way, it gets louder but also more of that I4 rasp people hate. The rear/mid gives you a bit more sound with the stock tone. I think it pairs well woth a nice intake setup
And yeag ITS ECU/PCM was programmed...
I dont think theres much you can do tbh. I bought a BRZ a few months ago and now that I've spent alot of time in it, my CTR feels like a luxury car compared to it 😅 lol. The shifter alone feels pretty sterile because of the way its mounted. Its just how all new cars are now. I dont think people...
I wouldnt even waste time going down the rabbit hole of why. Id just replace the battery and look into getting an alternator second if the problem persist. Spent 3 years with my Mustang for the going down rabbit holes searching for something all because the alternator was faulty (service rep...
I only used them for a little bit on the street but they felt fine. Can't really comment about the dust because I wasn't paying attention. If anything it felt like the stock brake pads
The brake system light is completely normal, I dont think the sensor recognizes that you have DOT4 high temp brake fluid so its still calibrated for the stock DOT3 fluid
So whats the best coolant tank to get? Its been a few years now and remember the radium tank being a big problem. Do all of these have the same coolant capacity or do they expand the tank?
I heard Wunderland is the one to keep an eye out for
Im getting the WOT Radiator too, so I'm not sure
