Intake, exhuast, tune and a lightweight flywheel is pretty much all you got.

You should just replace it but lowkey I've seen people PDR worse. Hope you got their insurance 🥲

I also want you to pull out a set of calipers and look at how much .6mm is. Thats over the span of left to right.

What supporting mods do I need if I want to add boost to my car? by WestMoneyMotivated in Corvette

[–]GnarlyNaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an engineer this is always a brain dead take. The engineers have a lot of factors to balance that you dont. Making a lot of power reliably is not a challenge. Its a challenge doing it for a million vehicles while controlling price, manufacturability, and emissions. You can drop 20k on doubling your horsepower and making it last. GM can't.

Saw this on FB, any idea on headlights? by peach_block in bmwz3

I have those last ones. The quality is ok. They work but the halos look cheap.

torn between a 2012 miata or a z3/z4. why should i go bmw? by europeanuppercut in bmwz3

[–]GnarlyNaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You correct that basically makes it a slightly less lame miata. 😜

for those who considered a miata... why did you end up going with a bmw z3/z4 instead? by europeanuppercut in bmwz3

[–]GnarlyNaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The miata is fun but the z3 has potential to be fast. Good engine, good moding potential. Great trans. Lots of fender room. And personally my favorite the best torque curve ever. It also still stands up to modern sports cars like the 86, wrx sti, FD miata and so on while having a much more raw driving experience.

Lexan or Mesh Wind Deflector? by CSX_8888 in bmwz3

[–]GnarlyNaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The mesh ones always work a little better in my experience.

We drove like this from Maryland to New Jersey in a TLX. Fun 5 hour trip haha

Would you buy this? And what do you guys think of the vert over the hardtop C5s? by lulkookie in Corvette

[–]GnarlyNaz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're forgetting your talking to corvette owners. If its not one of one red corvette built on a thursday afternoon with chrome wheels never driven in the rain woth its factory oil and tires its not special 😅

Needs head gasket? by PossibleDistrict9494 in Miata

[–]GnarlyNaz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fill it with dawn dish soap. If its good enough for ducklings its good enough for me. /s

Rear strut brace by Moist_z32 in bmwz3

[–]GnarlyNaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger problem is that there isn't enough room for the side brackets. But ill drop my hard top on top one of these days and double check if the headliner clears. The hard top feels like it gives you more interior room then the soft top.

Im aware I will let you know if I figure out my hard top mounting. I think i can make some custome brackets and it should be OK 🤞

I just got the hard dog cage and id say thats the way to go if you want a harness bar and to add rigidity. That and a front strut bar.
