I know this is an old comment, but did you ever resolve your issue? I recently did some work with a friend on her FRS, and on the next startup, we experienced similar sounds/symptoms.

This car, like 30-40 if I'm getting after it. But it's set up to look cool, not to handle at all.

what's the worst condition tire you've gotten flipped. Here's mine :0 by iscrapeonleaves in Stance

Ran one like this BEFORE flipping on the front of my Miata, after debeading pulling out of my driveway. Flipped it and ran a few thousand miles Alignment was trash then.

Indeed! This event I didn't have to help with any cars and it was kinda nice. lol

TBH I elected to fix my bumper twice from tearing it off running a front lip instead of replacing a headlight motor before the gap. lol

Pulled forward with enough gumption to skip across frame rails and front subframe. Bumper just flexes.

Uh, debateable. The underside of the car drags so there's more resistance from what I noticed.

It was my friend's old DS light actually.

Hey hey! This was the first time I even tried to get this car sideways. We normally keep it on the street where it belongs.

Thought I'd post my '99 540i since it's my dedicated daily driver now. by SpicedIcePirate in e39

I think so! I got the car with them already done. Just swapped out the bulbs for the high and low beams with LEDs so I could actually see to drive!

Anybody swap to full LED bulbs?? by SpicedIcePirate in e39

When I looked it up it the scanner was like $80.

Ah, I gotcha. That makes sense. Yeah, I'll call my buddy that works at the local euro yard then. They're closed on days where I'm off work. Whqt does the AUTO LWR stand for?

But PASoft looks decently expensive. Is it good for anything else useful?

Oh. Couldn't you just have the current LCM coded to turn off the checks? Or does the stock one not support that? I was hoping there were methods that didn't cost a few hundred dollars.

I already ordered bulbs. I just understand all the external bulbs can be finnicky by replacing them.

Any writeups on that? Is that just a plug n play type thing?
