    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    Where do you all get your decals for class and number from now? They set I had before was magnetic. Thanks.

    I think I have the wrong Tesla and I kinda hate it, lol

    3 over Y was easy for me to pick.

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a warranty extension Now that Tesla offers one

    One thing that always stuck me as odd about people buying extended warranties is that basically, people with no knowledge are saying to the experts with data,"I bet you I know better and it will cost more than you think." That is what you are saying when you buy an extended warranty. I know...

    Model 3 Challenge - Lime Rock Park 2023 - Gridlife Circuit Legends

    I can't make it but want to voice my support. Thanks for putting this together for the community. Have fun everyone.

    M3P $3000+ off

    Eh, I'd disagree to a certain degree for me personally. The main benefit of the smaller wheel is improved efficiency, which I could care less about considering I start each day with more charge than I use and electricity is relatively cheap. I could be wrong, but I bet you would have little...

    M3P $3000+ off

    At the current prices, the M3P seems like the obvious answer to me over the M3 LR AWD. However, your battery is not going to die the day after the warranty expires. It is not like a timing chain that brakes on a motor and it eats itself. If you're that scared, fine, but it would be hard to...

    3 bottles of RBF 660 bleeding brakes and still have no brakes.

    This is brining back bad memories for me. I once did a master cylinder on a 944 and went through 5 bottles and a couple nights before I took it in to a shop to learn my new master cylinder was letting in air. When I built my car, I had to make my own lines throughout and had a few leaks to...

    Bang noise from brakes when Automatic Emergency Braking?

    You have something loose in your car? Its will brake hard enough to toss around loss objects and make them "bang"

    M3P - Running Front and Rear Tires of Different Brands

    Did you even read any of those? I read the first three. Two of which state not to mix tires of different types like me where the other does not address it. All were referring to needing to replace two tires with tires from the same manufacture. All thee are simply concerned with tread depth...

    M3P - Running Front and Rear Tires of Different Brands

    No no no. Absolutely not the right approach, at least in my opinion. Yes, you would be less likely to have power oversteer with better rear tires. However, that is a terrible tradeoff for the loss in steering and braking performance unless you have absolutely no throttle control, especially...

    Model 3 CANARDS

    Yeah, 3M tape means it can't be seeing much force. Maybe a little, but not noticeable considering the max force will be at high speed and that max force will be the limit of the tape. 3D printed parts could work fine if they are tied in correctly. The best jobs I have seen are connected to...

    M3P - Running Front and Rear Tires of Different Brands

    Not recommended at all. Tires are literally your only connection to the road and determine your limits. Paying for a sway bar instead of matching tires makes no sense at all to me. If you ask me, you're actually much better off with 4 cheap matching tires than two mismatched tires. At least...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    Hmm... I don't love seeing that tire above. I had that but worse on a prior generation Bridgestone after about 3K miles and a handful of autoXs and swore them off at the time. I had chunks rip off. Now everyone seems to rave about them and I was thinking of going that way for my next set, but...

    M3P pulling to the right

    Hard for anyone to say based on what you described. First off, did you curb the wheel after the alignment? That defiantly could have affected it and you may need to have it aligned again. Put simply, if you wheels were aligned and then you rammed one corner, sure that could knock that corner...
