    Should track mode 100% regen be stronger than normal driving?

    I find on track that im either on the brakes or on the throttle, under hard braking does regen even do anything?

    Motion Sickness

    i can see that as well. i changed out my suspension cause the back was too floaty. but on a perfectly flat road, you should not be able to notice anything.

    Motion Sickness

    its usually not the tires like mentioned. Its to constant jerking forward and back. I cant stand autopilot for stop and go because it accelerates too quickly and brakes too abruptly. Try switching accel to chill and turn regen off and see if you still get that feeling.

    Comparison of Model 3 Performance w/ the Two Versions of MPP Coilovers and the Standard off the shelf KW-V3

    I went with KW as my car is more street focused than track. I do like the adjustability of the shock vs stock shocks. At the time of purchase, there were not many choices as far as shocks. Even as of today, there are not many options yet and i hated the ride quality of the stock shock that i...

    Comparison of Model 3 Performance w/ the Two Versions of MPP Coilovers and the Standard off the shelf KW-V3

    i have the OTS KW v3 and am overall happy with it. I would have gone Ohlins if they had a OTS one similar to pricing as the KW, but they dont. I do dislike how the rear spring perch adjustment is as i cannot do it without pretty much removing it from the car.

    Review of KW V3, Federal RS Pro and Carbotech XP12

    I like them quite a bit for the price. I dont remember the spring rates but it can be found online on their web site. I have no noise going over bumps, super quiet. The one thing ive always hated about KW vs the ohlins is when you hit the big bumps. The kw must be tuned as a compromise on the...

    Review of KW V3, Federal RS Pro and Carbotech XP12

    Yes i did (i have the DFV on my s2000) but the overall cost difference was more than what i want to spend. I had KW before on my older s2000 and knew they are good quality. If and when Ohlin comes out with their own and price is closer to the KW then i would consider. I think at the time of...

    Comparison of Model 3 Performance w/ Two Versions of MPP Coilovers

    So you didnt reinstall the front rubber? Even on KW site, they dont reuse the rubber. On the rear you use only the lower one.

    Review of KW V3, Federal RS Pro and Carbotech XP12

    I just wanted to provide some insight on some modifications I have done to my P3D- (Stealth) since my last track day in stock form. I have done over 50 track days in my Honda S2000 and Honda Civic Type R and would consider myself a low advanced driver. In stock form, the brake fluid overheated...

    Amazing Sun Shade

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QPWSCKV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have tried a few and this is the best one for the front. The metal ring around the outside is nice and tick and fits perfectly around the roof trim.

    (Track) Anyone running 18x9 40mm offset with 265 40 18

    there should be minimal deflection at the top. Interesting that you guys move the wire sensor. Is this kind of normal?

    Which Carbotech Brake Pads

    Could you run this daily? On a traditional car i can swap but since this uses regen, i may not need to during the summer months when i may track more often.

    Which Carbotech Brake Pads

    Do you think you could daily the XP10? I can easily swap them but since this car uses regen so much, brake squeel might not be noticable.

    Removing springs without compressor video

    Want some fun since Covid got old. Removed the spring without a compressor. I was expecting it to shoot a bit further. I did use a spring compressor to put springs on, but if your just trying to get the hat to use on a coilover, its not that bad. DONT DO WHAT I DID

    Which Carbotech Brake Pads

    Good thing to know is what track he will be using. BW isnt too heavy on brakes. Only 3 turns and max speed would be like 110-120 which enters into a 60-70 turn.

    Vendor Model 3 Öhlins DFV Coilovers - Engineered by Redwood Motorsports ™

    I had KW V3 on my s2000 and when i rode in one with the ohlins it was so much more compliant over large bumps and with the single adjustment, it handled the rebound and compression better. i find the KW nice if you want to change the spring that you can increase rebound only but ohlins does it...

    Show off your Model 3 front lips

    I dont think you would scrape more with the tsport line. It sticks out more in the front but the bottom looks like it wraps around the existing bumper. You can see the tire deflector still sticks out quite a bit.

    DIY PPF...which one to choose from Amazon?

    I wrapped my hood today with the 3m. Went easy as it’s such a large piece. With the left over I tried to do the headlight and mirror. The 3m did not want to stretch what so ever. My friend who did his with suntek said it stretches better.

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    just following up. I talked to Ken from Liftbars and he said the tesla ones are longer than what he has packaging for and does not want to start a new product line. If anyone is interested he told me that 2" .188 bar should be fine for our application.
  46. B

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    Exactly. I emailed them our dimensions which is right at 58 5/8 from center of hole to hole. For $250 I’d go with the lift bars. It jacks up so much faster with one middle point and less failure since you place a jack right under the jack point vs using the other choices.
  47. B

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    Please don’t do that. It can easily slide off the bar. The way the lift bar is setup the pin is welded to the bar so it’s solid.

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    Actually if you look at his bar, the ends are round so it can roll onto the stand. The center is flat. If you go to his website he shows how it is done. I have already contacted him and need to get him some measurements.

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    Has anyone tried coming up with something like this? I use to jack up my honda from the pinch weld but since the car doesnt have it. I think the lift bar would be perfect for our car, Liftbars
