    Expired Eibach Sway Bars - Front and Rear [Expired]

    If I still worked for the airlines, I'd fly up from Hawaii tonight with cash in hand and bring those bars home. Did that before and bought back a set of G35 rims for my Maxima!

    Alignment numbers for best tire life?

    What about camber angle numbers for better wear and performance? Also wondering, can rear toe be measured on a lowered M3P using the "string method"??? Last set of rear tires wore out on the inside edge. New rear tires and MPP camber arms installed. Or add MPP toe arms too and take it to a speed...

    Coming soon!

    A new charging option is coming for Tesla and all other EV users. In the parking lot of Walmart Pearl City, just below their gas station (go figure) are 8 newly installed Electrify America charging stations. There are 4 charging towers each with 2 charging cords. But be aware that there's only 4...

    Searching for tires

    Ended up at the S.C. yesterday after the wife had a unrepairable flat RR tire. Got two new tires installed there at seemingly reasonable price.

    Searching for tires

    Costco, Tire Rack, Discount Tire? Anyone use EV Wheel Direct? They seem to have the lowest price on the internet with free shipping. I'm in need of tires for my 2018 M3P after 22800 miles and wanting to stay with Michelins on the stock 20" rims. LMK...thanks!

    12V Battery Just Died - Total battery failure

    Our T3P 12V battery died last week. The wife drove the car to work about 14 mile, but when she attempted to leave work, the door opened but that was all! The car was DOA! Called the S.C., they dispatched a tow truck who's driver was very knowable about her situation, popped open the frunk and...

    Tire rotation/balance on Oahu

    They were in my top 3 choices as I scooped around the www. Will consider them based on your patronizing of their business. BTW, I did my MPP upgrade in my driveway for the first time in about 6hrs.

    Tire rotation/balance on Oahu

    I did my own tire rotation and I'm also looking for a 3rd party reference for wheel alignment after I upgraded my suspension. Been checking Yelp and other sites for recommendations. Anyone have any reputable shop that you would recommend??? Thanks in advance!

    Best areas for photographs

    Magic Island parking lot, Waikiki/makai corner. Pretty good Diamond Head shot. Aiea Loop trail drive and parking lots for a "green forestry" feel. Koolina lagoon 5 at sunset if you can get in. Makapu'u overlook for the windward side. Kualoa beach park for Chinaman's Hat and Mokapu peninsula...

    Squeaky Scratchy Sound When Turning Steering Wheel

    I just had both upper control arm assemblies changed out yesterday at our local SC, for a squeaking noise that presented itself about a week ago. All's good now!

    FSD Price Increase by $2,000 on 26 OCT

    No thanks!!!! Not worth the $$$ for the crappy roads we have here on Oahu! If we could "drive" interisland, then maybe! But that's not happening anytime soon! Hahaha....

    Santa's here!

    Not sure when I'll do the install, but just for you, I'll do a drive-by of Waikiki beach can capture moment. Hopefully I don't get a ticket for "stopping and standing", for a photo op! I guess I'd better wear face covering for the Covid cops too!

    Santa arrived early here in Hawaii nei! Gonna hold up on the install till November or December.

    Percent or miles/kilometers - only percent makes sense

    For me, I keep my M3P on the percentage setting. I view it as my electron fuel gauge. Much like the gas gauge on an ICE automobile. If it's at 75%, I've got 3/4 tank of fuel/electrons. If I need to go on a long trip, just like an ICE car, I'll fill it up to "F", or 100% in EV language. I don't...

    Front plate

    We've had our M3P for 18 months and no citations for not having the license attached to the front bumper. Let it be known thought, if you get pulled over for any infraction, including driving without your plates attached, you can be sure the the officer WILL tack on the "no front license...

    Vendor NEW: MPP Model 3 Comfort Adjustable Coilovers RWD/AWD!

    Based on MPP's reply (Sasha) to silverflash, I'm leaning heavily towards the adjustable comfort set-up. With no track available, roads here on Oahu suck, and my want to lower the stock look of my car, this looks like the way to go. I thought about doing sway bars as the first suspension mod...

    Vendor NEW: MPP Model 3 Comfort Adjustable Coilovers RWD/AWD!

    So I'm also on the fence on which CO set-up to get. I'm leaning towards the adjustable comfort set-up but on the other hand, still considering the sport setup. From what I've been reading, if I go with the comfort set-up, I would still need (want) to upgrade the sway bars to reduce body lean...
