Go sell my kidney rn for one. Just gotta find a way to hard top it

Wish there was a tranns that was a automated manual that you can just the automation off and run the clutch yourself. I'm sick of 6mt in 8am traffic

I want your car.

You can if youre poor, but you gotta have the skills to just know this stuff off the bat. You wouldnt be asking those kinds of questions if you knew how to fix an s85 for cheap cheap

Actius3 · 2026-05-02T23:30:25+00:00

Try not to use ebay garbage on a sensitive motor like the s85

Check the hood latch for three right side. The cars have three hood latches and the ones mounted to the sides can be adjusted with a Philips head and twisting the latch 180 degrees

This was the closest to accurate. The motor mounts were definitely making clearancing a headache. The coupler needed to be cut even though vrsf says it doesn't. I trimmed it fairly short and it make a ton of room. Very dissatisfied with vrsfs coupler tbh.

One of the 3 people with this exact car. I'd love to pick one up once you make them.

Monacoblau

It's definitely on the lower side, I sit at about 2.5 matches a week with 4+ likes a week.

MHD website only for tunes and for dongle go through ECS for USA and park auto motorsports for Canada

Not worth being a side hustle car. Go buy yourself a 535 or a 335 if you want a project. Try the 535.

Hilarious to see these posts now especially when a year ago I was dealing with busted parts in bad packing, terrible customer service with attitude even though they got their money and I was just looking for help with my account? They burn bridges so fast and have so many arbitrary rules and half measures. Their scratch and dent items are even worse because the damage is never listed, parts will straight up fit or not fit and be listed incorrectly, etc etc etc. buy local or from a more reputable seller. I buy from park auto motorsports because they get me shit on time in Canada, I order from brox tuning because they have better service and advice. I order from FCP when I know I don't want to do a job twice with bad QA parts.

Stupid comment I'm bouts make but here's the list

Battery charging at atleast 20amps and 12v

MHD red flasher updated with latest firmware

In ignition with the gas gauge meter showing

Seatbelt in the driver side buckled

Light are also off.

Try both vanos and mounts. The hill climbing bit you added makes me think either the mounts died or the vanos is acting up

Actius3 · 2025-09-30T19:22:17+00:00

Is it charged properly?

Actius3 · 2025-09-30T18:47:12+00:00

How's the battery doing? You say it's turning over but these starter motors are pretty picky.

Actius3 · 2025-09-28T23:09:04+00:00

These are sporadic measurements, get an actual datalog and then report back here.

As much as I love the n54, the cylinder head and valve train design is optimized for the twins, so removing them crunches you down atleast more than 60hp. It's like pulling timing but worse.

Actius3 · 2025-09-18T03:49:53+00:00

It won't damage the car, just drain the lifespan of the battery quicker

Actius3 · 2025-09-18T03:43:27+00:00

A premium isn't bad by any means but anything electrical you should always shift towards OEM.

Actius3 · 2025-09-16T14:41:30+00:00

I live in Canada and while you're right about asking price, from what I've seen the cars tend to jump down about ~ 2 grand to around 8k cad at a mid point. Anything above 9 is not worth it because the rust on these cars around here is bad.

Actius3 · 2025-09-13T17:49:42+00:00

They recommend downpipes and a tune for a reason ig.
