    Mud Flaps on a lowered model 3

    I have had a couple people ask about my mud flaps, so thought I would post it. I wanted mud flaps for the protection but with the hard plastic it was not an option on the front, and I did not care for the look of the Rally Armor. I used the Tesla mud flaps cut 2 inches off the hard plastic, cut...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    On a Long range Is there a way to get a firmer pedal with stock MC and calipers? I have motul fliud, no air in the system, better front pads, and MPP MC Brace . The SS lines are so short, unless warn I cant see that helping much. I see how the rear piston retracts, is that where I'm getting all...

    Squeaks and fix

    Mine would go away after being lifted for a short time as well, which is hard to understand, unless the tray would somehow get relief for short time from being in that position. I greased with a needle everything i could find and thought a fixed it for a couple of days. I spent so many hours...

    Squeaks and fix

    In case anyone else has this issue. I have had a suspension squeak for the last year since new and replaced FUCA twice. Tesla installed one, then i installed an MPP. I finally found it. The front under tray was rubbing against the FLCA over bumps making similar sound as the FUCA squeak. Creaky...

    Vendor Tesla Brakes – Model S, 3, X, Y Brake Calipers, Pads, and Rotors

    I have a 3 long range, with MPP suspension, MC brace, fluid changed, and pads. I would be interesting in anything else that would enhance the feel. Used for spirited canyon driving. I seems as though the rotational weight doesn't make any noticabe differance in performance. I do have forged...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    Update: I think most of my concern was do to everyone that had posted, commenting there was no NVH associated with the bearing. So when i got significant added road noise i was concerned that repressing the bearing had compromised it. It was very helpful to hear some people have experienced...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    I did a Northern Tool press. Other than much preferring to do the work myself, its always a great excuse to buy new tools. I let the finance manager know how much money i saved doing it myself, and all the great honey-do things ill be able to do now. Perfect for pressing pant can lids on after...

    Aftermarket Wheels Too Expensive

    I had seen that acceleration wasn't effected to any significant degree with wheel weight or size, I have not seen anything on the effects of lighter on handling and feel of the car? This is great, just what i was looking for, Thank You. I've done alot of research on this forum over the last...

    Aftermarket Wheels Too Expensive

    Thank You, that is very helpful. Most of the brands have similar wheel patterns, i was wondering if any of the brands in that price range stuck out.

    Aftermarket Wheels Too Expensive

    I just figured in this price range we are getting all flow forged/formed wheels. I did not think there would be any significant differences other the fit and finish. If thats not the case i would like to be educated on it. I know speed performance is not effected by the weight, but I would...

    Aftermarket Wheels Too Expensive

    This thread was entertaining. Can we get peoples opinions on which inexpensive wheels 1,200 - 2,000ish range have the best or very good fit and finish. Lighter is good. Ok with centering rings.

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    "it sounded like being in a plane but with a higher pitched metal sound." This is the sound. I had a long drive today and after an hour on the interstate, i looked up noise canceling on Spotify and when the mix played a plane at altitude, i thought to my self "thats the sound" Maybe i am...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    No knocking or rattling, Its a constant road noise sound, like blowing over an empty bottle. I loosened and re-torqued everything, some of it multiple times . Sway bar and bushings were replaced six months ago. 2022 LR I did the FUCA and bearings at the same time. I typically like to change one...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    I did press one side in upside down, continued pressing it out the same way and repressed. The aluminum bearing casing was marred a bit from pressing. I don't have a pressure gage on the northern tool press, but did feel the pressure needed felt approx the same. it was tricky getting the bolt...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    Has anyone had NVH from the LCA bearing? Im getting substantial road noice. I haven't seen where this was an issue and don't consider myself as highly sensitive to this. It's only reasonable on smooth newly paved road. Its bad enough I'm considering pressing the OEM bushings back in. I thought...

    New style Caliper cover

    Thx Marks, It was difficult to consider covers, so upside down was to much to take. Like you the plan was to possibly use the rear if they looked good enough and then paint the fronts black, until i got these.

    New style Caliper cover

    I was looking for a cover that may be acceptable to put over the rear calipers only on a M3LR.I hated looking at the rear calipers more than the thought of trying a rear caliper cover. I found these and they were so good i used for the front and rear. The fit was MM perfect on the set i received...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I would suggest the same, tires, pads if needed, seat time and instruction, pads, then suspension if you get to the point you can outride stock. I dont need BBK, the pads helped. i just have Modification OCD and its at level 10 with this car. That was just something that came to mind. I think...
