Yeah the front straight sure but I shifted on that sweeping right while you come off the throttle a bit before that turn.

They frown on NLS at Spring Mountain probably because of the potential for a money shift. There are a couple opportunities during autocross and the 0-60 demo but thats it. If you are on the East Track theres only 2 upshifts per lap and only 1 of those is a candidate for NLS. I NLS every day...

Best Ive been able to settle on mapping PTM to Vmode double -tap is PTM Dry while suspension is in Sport. Good enough for quick access to launch control.

Saw a matte olive drab wrapped 4BW auto with aftermarket black wheels in the parking lot at the Las Vegas dragstrip, think it had Utah plates. Definitely a unique look.

I had a Land Rover Disco as a rental car recently and I could not figure out why it wouldnt go anywhere when you took your foot off the brake, like to creep up in sequence at a right turn 'yield' to merge or really any temporary full stop. I too found it super annoying as if trying to relearn...

I agree, that is a shitty button. Isnt that what Park is for?

After break in this is how you get the rev match to "double blip" i.e. coming out of a higher gear and moving the stick to the left towards a a lower gear while still in neutral will cause a 1st blip and then a 2nd blip to match whatever gear you actually go in to. I never encountered your...

The owners manual for the 4 says to run Dex3 ATF in the manual tranny

Road noise went down noticeably when I swapped over to Conti DWS06+ all seasons.

Right around 11k in the first year, just gas and oil so far…and windshields, going to be on #3 here shortly.

If only there was some way to find this out for yourself 🤔

Extreme Contact DWS06+

Northern AZ gets all 4 seasons for sure and while I try and use my 4runner for the real nasty stuff, temps alone require an UHP all season unless I only want to drive 7 mos out of the year. I went with the Continentals on the factory wheels. Way more snow and winter driving this week than I...
