As a follow up to all this I’ve tracked my steels enough to already be on my third front set & second rear. Zero fade. Zero issues. I drive both a CCB equipped car & steel car at spring mountain. Couldn’t tell a difference & the instructors said the same. I’d suggest anyone looking or wanting...
one in kansas. the same people own the 2 closest to me so I don't have much choice and the 3rd one that is also within an hours drive of me are total dicks. they wouldn't let me drive around the parking lot or block a regular non BW ct5 V when I told them I was looking at ordering a BW b/c I...
if the pistons were broken, yes. if the pistons are scored and have damaged the walls, no. it would just increase oil consumption, possibly reduce compression/boost, and certainly lower how long the motor is strong for. same thing with the bearings. wear/damage could have & likely did happen to...
the reason the 4 had such great results is that it essentially tricks the ecu into making the turbos build more boost. that same trick won't work on the supercharged 5. if you read the hagerty article mirza states that they told the engineer that designed the current intake that it was...
Got the car back today. Dealer wasn’t even going to do an oil change even though the instrument cluster stated it needed one due to the oil overheating. Got them to do that as well as finish installing the parking sensor module. They put it in last time, but neglected to do the programming to...
for my friend (who didn't buy a blackwing) to go through the program the cost was $3,845. That got him a CT5 BW manual to drive plus the room, insurance, food, etc.
if you've read other threads you shouldn't be surprised by the poor paint quality some cars are seeing out of the lansing plant where 100k+ cars are also rolling out with 26k camaros
jb4s are for turbo cars. they are boost controllers that trick the ecu into thinking there is lower boost vs what is actually there, which changes the wastegate operation. you change the pulley on a supercharged vehicle to change the boost.
update: they replaced a coil pack this time and everything was running great. even set personal best lap times. then today the car threw the belt and coolant and oil temps instantly jumped to about 280 degrees before I could get things shut down. stuff was boiling well over 10 minutes later...
The bronze weigh more. Keep in mind if you start changing unsprung weight the magride won’t be as optimized. The programming is difference for instance if you have CCB vs steel
there's a pad sensor that wears through and alerts you in the dash when they are done. as soon as it says they are done they are DONE. don't wait any longer. i'm on my second set of rear pads and third set of fronts at 5k, but that is in a 5 with a lot of track use.
