The sensor wires were in perfect condition, no wear, chafing, or mouse bites. I inspected them carefully before taking the car in, and Redwood Motorsports did too as a double check. It was not the wires, something else was the problem, the wires are carefully routed and secured to keep them from...

My M3P at 13k miles started throwing multiple error codes whenever I hit a significant bump, or if I brake hard or corner aggressively. I got errors Stability control disabled, Steering assist disabled, Auto pilot disabled, traction control disabled, regenerative braking disabled, ABS disabled...

A new way for autonomous racing cars to avoid sideslip: Full Page Reload

Complying with the regulation that the lights can only be switched on when the high beam is on is going to be tricky. There are no separate high beam lights and the high beam indicator is virtual on the screen. Perhaps a circuit tapped into the headlight driver to detect the drive current or...

It is easy to tell. Lay on the floor and look at the back of one front wheel. If there is a driveshaft, then you have a front motor.

Unplugged sent me a new tighter set of front bar bushings and my clunk is gone! Now I can really enjoy the car again.

I use this stuff, expensive but a little goes a long way https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036RNKCO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vVSdFbACVBHXW

Just a note that WD-40 is not a lubricant, it is a solvent with water dispersing (WD, get it?) properties. It has some lubricant properties but evaporates in a day or so. If you need lubrication, use something that doesn't evaporate.

My stomping grounds include Page Mill Road, Steven's Canyon, Tunitas Creek, Kings Mountain, and highways 9, 35, and 84. My driveway is off highway 84 near La Honda. It's a great region for suspension development.

I'm at 20 and 20, I haven't driven it since I got it home, don't get out much these days. :(

I got mine installed last week and they are brilliant. I took some of my favorite twisties on the way home, the car is well behaved through the bumpy corners, passes my speed bump test, and pulled 1.3 g's in a high speed sweeper on the factory tires. It is a little stiffer but nothing...

The preload I am referring to is of the bushings side to side to eliminate the end play which may be the source of the noises I hear.

Mine makes clunking noises too and I have been obsessed with figuring it out. I thought I might have damaged an end link so replaced both fronts, no help. My installation had significant end play and I was going to fabricate a spacer but found the bushing brackets have enough slop that I could...

Camber is not adjustable except for tiny amounts. If your camber is out enough for you to see it by eye, take it to the SC, something is wrong.

You need to have a CAV (clean air vehicle) specific transponder. FasTrak

Can you share your setup and tire choice?

Does the USB format include the folders for Track Mode recording?

I just installed 12.11.1. No new release notes.

The car motion with multiple camera frames is the same as multiple cameras. It knows the location of successive frame captures quite accurately which allows 3D reconstruction. It does assume that the stop sign doesn't move.

Interesting experience here - Caltrans put up a new caution sign with a flashing light near my house for some construction. The first time I passed it, nothing happened. The second time a day later I got a warning of an impending stop, before the sign was even visible. I am suspecting that the...

I too purchased the Nikola satin kit but have not installed it yet; too cold in the garage. Additionally I got this kit for the door handles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VXBL9CD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details It does a full wrap of the handles with a single very complex shape...

I have seat covers vy Wet Okele, I would recommend them. My only complaint is that the rear covers are a bit thick between the movable rear seat sections. They are very protective. Custom fit car seat covers for your car, truck, SUV or van | Wet Okole

I had BC Racing RM series coilovers on my Mazdaspeed 3. They were not bad though not as good as the ones from mazdaspeed racing. I had those and they were good but self destructed and could not be repaired. The BC needed some maintenance, and I needed to replace a few things but parts were...

That's yellow on black. CA DMV is now doing yellow on black reflectorized, and plate wrap emulates that.

In my opinion, sway bars will make the biggest improvement for the money.

The.early roadster had staggered dual pattern wheels. They stopped making them after about a year, too expensive. Also, you can't rotate the tires.

I was up for a plate wrap but the company said that they can't do it for me. I have California yellow on blue plates, the seventh car for them. It may be because they are not retro-reflective.

Adjusting the spring perch adjusts the spring preload. Adjusting the body length adjusts the ride height. If you adjust the ride height with the spring length, you move the resting point of the suspension away from the center of the shock travel, inviting bottoming (or topping) out of the shock...

I'm up to about a mile this week. Several trips to the mailbox. That's it.

Does hold mode use the parking brake or does it have some other magical way to use the hydraulics?

This quarantine time is threatening to become very expensive... Too much time looking at stuff to buy.

If the 12 volt battery is flat you can open the frunk by applying 12 volts to two wires hidden behind the front tow hook port. It's in the owners manual. But it doesn't work if the battery is good so security isn't bad. I have the Modern Spare kit for my Performance. It saved my butt when I...

I got a set of Rim Ringz. Run away, they are horrible! The install is literally painful, and they don't sit tight against the tire even if you manage to get them tight against the rim. Then I touched another curb (dammit!) and the ring exploded into pieces. Useless. I have been practicing my...

Ah. Front - "soft", rear - middle. Good starting point.

GMT?

Stability - 3, 60‰ rear bias, 100‰ regen. Feels good, but just a SWAG for a first test with the new bars.

Today I did a test drive with my newly installed Unplugged swaybars. On the G meter I was pulling 1.1 Gs in the corners. This was on the factory Michlins. The G meter looks close to maxing out, I am wondering if it has an auto range function, I can see improving on these numbers with proper...

I love my new bars. Much sharper turn in and reduced understeer. Test drive up the canyon, stock tires.

I had to repair a bottom scrape result yesterday. I needed to remove the front undertray for anti roll bar replacement. I found a scrape that was just over a bolt holding the cover. The scrape was not too bad but I found that the bolt would not unscrew; it just spun around without coming out. It...

I just installed mine today, lots of clearance, I must have gotten the new version.

I noticed that if you turn on Track Mode and while still in park, tapping several times on the car visualization brings up the User Manual Track Mode page.

Bar will be stiffer at the "soft" setting.

Just got 2020.8.1. Track mode improvements, third party charging stations, Bluetooth improvements, and improved voice command reliability.

When you are in an underground garage, the car cannot see the GPS satellites. When you re-emerge, it has to find them again. It takes a bit of time to do. That is just how it works, nothing to report.

I mounted mine to the roof glass behind the front dome lights. I haven't tried it on 237 but it works fine on bay area bridges.

I got a new visualization today. (Sorry if this has been posted already.) Flag man with a stop sign.

The traction and stability control of my previous car, a 300+ hp Mazdaspeed 3, was really confused by the lowered coilovers, big ARBs, and sticky tires. The calibration expected a certain behavior and had no adaptability. It pulled power when I needed it and did really weird things with the...

I would never use any scissor jack to lift more than one tire barely off the ground. It's for emergency tire changes, nothing else. 2000 pounds working limit is OK, it won't be lifting anything like half the car's weight.
