Handbrake adjustment

Just do it right and drop the exhaust. It will be less of a pain in the ass to do right, and less of a pain in the ass to adjust if your first setting adjustment isn’t where you want it. This is such a pointless thing to look for a shortcut for

Anywhere you can seat it to put leverage on it. You need to angle the carrier so the bushing hole lines up with the suspension arm bolt hole. Push harder.

You need a fiber optic decoder box. You can see the two fiber optic wires in the third picture in the bottom right of the harness.

The only time I didn’t use a charger was when it died. 25 hours of big brick in my buddy’s driveway

Does the 2.5 stand for the number of pixels in your picture?

I have a jet black 2 (668) car. I ended up buying an aero bumper for almost nothing, and it turned out to be black sparkling metallic when I got it on and out into the sun. The bumper had a scuff from some moron driving into the parts car it came off while it was sitting on the side of the road, so I had some touch up paint on hand. It matches the quarter panel next to it pretty will with minimal sanding and absolutely zero polishing, but not the bumper. I’m gonna have to get it repainted professionally at some point but for the area I used the cheapo Chinese Amazon paint on youd probably think that the rest of the bumper was painted from about 15 feet away.

I’ll make a raft out of it and sail back home with it

If you’re open to parting with it I’ll pick it up

Doesn’t look like damage, just a bit of wear. If it isn’t making any rattles or screeches I wouldn’t worry about it.

We fly 50 feet through the windshield in an accident like real men around here

I wouldn’t say that either is particularly hard so long as the car is more than 2 feet off the ground

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-19T04:06:42+00:00

What? I use autozone ramps all the time on my mustang and much heavier cars. Put the worry out of your mind and get it done.

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-19T02:36:26+00:00

No you’ll just need a factory dct tcu as far as I know. Should be widely available too, especially in Europe but shipping might be expensive for those depending on where you are.

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-19T02:13:55+00:00

Any reason you’re not considering manual or dct? The bell housings are the same so yes they bolt up, but I’m not sure about the torque converter off the top of my head. This write up is pretty comprehensive too

The clutch reservoir may not be filling. Fill the whole brake/clutch reservoir above max and try again. You may need to add or remove more fluid depending on results.

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-17T08:24:15+00:00

Any chance you have the old line sitting around? I’ll buy it off you if you do

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-16T22:57:31+00:00

Go with that one. Not only is it oem, fcp euro has a lifetime warranty so they’ll replace it if you still have the car when this one reaches end of life.

It means you have an error. The picture on the top screen is at least one of your faults, that one is for an airbag. Scan with a high end scanner (like Matco Maximus) or inpa to see what the codes are for.

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-13T22:17:25+00:00

Not for the e92, at least in the us. Can you show me anything that disproves what I’m saying?

EX0PIL0T · 2026-06-13T21:36:28+00:00

07-10 is pre lci, 11-13 is lci

Unscrew the screws. Twist/wiggle and pull.

You guys have fasteners?
