I don't pamper any pads :D
There are at least 4 of us (M3Ps) in the UK using Carbotech XP10s for track and road use and no-one has had any squealing issues when braking. We...
The fire service already has these things called fire appliances which are capable of putting a lot of water onto a Li-Ion battery fire if...
I had them done as part of a de-chrome so I don't know how much the handles on their own would have cost, but to do it properly they have to be...
TBH that's pretty good going for an SR from what I've seen. And I'd stick with the Michelins if I were you.
I tries Plastidip on my handles, but was never satisfied with the finish or the feel of them. In the end I had them painted and they match the...
There are two issues with the 3. One is it rides on the bumpstops very early, the other is the damping (particularly at the rear). Depends on the...
Bilstein make very decent dampers, it's just that for whatever reason in some applications they don't quite get it right, but a mass-produced OEM...
Yeah, my original comment was a bit tongue in cheek. Bilstein certainly was/is involved in Model S suspension, so it wouldn't surprise me...
[ATTACH]
I'm pretty sure Bilsteins aren't usually made in Mexico.
It's an electro-mechanical device. It can go wrong for several reasons. But the car won't lose braking completely if it does, so be prepared to...
Thank you. That is what I thought you meant, but it seems others had their own agenda. :rolleyes: So, anyway, as I said 5 pages ago if the OE pads...
You can't leave it in N. As soon as you get out it will engage park. You could put it in transport mode, but that will be overidden when you lock...
This is normal, especially in cold, damp weather. The rear pads stick to the discs and what you hear/feel is them unsticking. It's nothing to be...
Looks like more than 2 degrees camber on the Model 3. The Redwood upper arms give you a lot of adjustment.
I did say it's only a theory :D I'd perform some experiments, but it's too cold and snowy for me to go outside at the moment...:rolleyes:
A 320's kerb weight is listed as 1510Kg and even a RWD Model 3 is over 1700Kg with the M3P at 1800+.
The significance is that there's less weight on the front wheels and less friction, so they will turn more easily. That all adds up to making it...
I will offer one possible theory as to why this situation might be slightly worse with EVs: 1. They are heavier than the equivalent sized ICE...
4M views in a day but it still gets beaten to the trending page by a lawyer pretending to be a kitten. This is the world we're living in now...
You'll get 'a' service, but there will be interruptions. It's just the same as having a tree branch waving in the wind in front of your satellite...
Sure, but obstructions within that FOV won't mean you'll have no service, it will mean you'll have a degraded service. Does the app work out how...
How is any app going to take account of local obstructions you may have in your garden or surrounding your house? There's only so much you can...
It's all explained here: [MEDIA]
Keep us updated on progress! This is as far as I would want to go with mine for the time being and a better seat would be a big improvement.
As already explained above, it is not "a fabric material". It is glass reinforced polypropylene, a type of plastic. It withstands water as well...
You made a good choice going with the coilovers. You would have ended up regretting fitting springs alone. Believe me. Lots of very dubious claims...
Zero regen, as in exactly the same as if you put the car into neutral and coast?
Yes, springs are a waste of money IMO. You'll sacrifice ride quality just to make the car a bit lower. Even a really cheap set of coilovers will...
The stock pads are a waste of time. I wouldn't bother with Unplugged pads. Get some tried and tested compounds such as RB XT970 or Carbotech,...
He's convinced himself, so there's no hope really. Have fun guys :rolleyes:
I think Knightshade has sloped off to think about things. I guess we won't be getting any sort of apology any time soon. :D
There is without a doubt economy of scale when comparing factory suspension with aftermarket. I'd say since the late 90's all the premium cars...
Great to hear about the improvement and good write up. The alignment might have made a small amount of difference, but it is the new improved...
You seem to be contradicting yourself. So now "performance" isn't stopping distance? You said it was earlier.
The track pack rims are 20x9 Zero G ET34. There was also an ET40 version which was referral only I think, but the Track Pack rim is the same as...
Oh great, I can use my meme again... [ATTACH]
We never had access to RE71s in the UK so I'm also interested in opinions on what to run on a Model 3 for an autocross type event. I do think the...
Let's try and settle this. @GasGasGas What do you want to improve? 1. Stopping distance or 2. Brake feel and bite Thanks
The OP is asking about bite and feel, not stopping distance and that is all about the pads in the Model 3. They lack bite and feel.
Properly bedding the OE pads and discs makes a lot of difference to the bite and feel. After that, upgraded pads should be enough for any road...
In a roll over accident the glass roof has been shown to be stronger than a conventional thin steel roof. I'd be concerned about a carbon roof...
Ah, OK £350 for 1/2 day with the track to yourself is a good package, especially with Ed ;)
I just bought 1 x GME through ii/Share.com. On Twitter someone is saying RH has removed it from their search but you can still buy..
For me, it's no hassle to store a set of wheels so for the last 6 years I've had separate sets of winters and summers. It also means with the M3 I...
Yes, more runoff, cones rather than Armco and the ones MSE organise are very well behaved so the risk of damaging your car in any way is minimal....
Where in the UK are you? Airfield trackdays are what you need to look at. There should be some at Abingdon (Dalton Barracks) this year organised...
I have Vredestein Wintrac Pro winters and various summers depening on how much I'm tracking the car, but I left the Vredesteins on way longer then...
Full winters are not just good for snow. The weather has been wet and cold for longer than 10 days and there's a lot to be gained from full...
