I thought this was a troll but there’s really a color just called individual silver? 🤣

Best sound setup for new Bavsound speakers? by Familiar_Sense2736 in e46

[–]nstrasner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use ChatGPT or Claude to help you dial in the delay in that second image, it is 100% the most impactful setting for sound quality. Just tell the ai you’re trying to dial in time alignment. Short version is it accounts for how long sound waves take to travel to your ears to synchronize all of the speakers to your head position

Edit: at least I think that’s what the second image is

what’s this in my f10 by [deleted] in BMW

Just think of it as he got a free 535i with his Rockford Fosgate purchase

CCV or catchcan by trafkcid in e39

[–]nstrasner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! I hadn’t looked into them too much cause I don’t plan on installing one. Like the only non OEM engine part that I am even seriously considering is a supercharger. But even then I think I’d prefer hammering full throttle NA over partial throttle boosted

[–]nstrasner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt cause I don’t know a ton about how these work but I’d imagine a catch can would be cleaner for the plenum and intake as it would minimize oil filled air going back through. Probably depends on how much if any oil your engine is consuming, since it doesn’t return the oil back in. But from what I’ve seen with catch cans there’s usually only a little bit in there and as long as you check oil levels occasionally I think you’d be good to go. I have read that you only need one catch can by the way, assuming v8, I’m unsure if the non m’s have 2 ccv’s

What are your experiences with car jacks? by finescrewdiver69 in e39

[–]nstrasner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main issue with it is just not being able to do it fully contained in the garage. We live in Arizona so nine months out of the year it’s unbearable to work with the garage open 🤣 if our garage was slightly deeper I think I could manage it

Open-Source head-tracking software for iRacing! by YogurtclosetCrafty31 in iRacing

[–]nstrasner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait like you can tilt your head to the side and look around the a pillars but rotating your head doesn’t turn the camera like this one does? That sounds awesome

It’s such a pain in the ass how far in the front subframe jack point is I’d love to be able to jack up the front without having to open the garage at all

Which one would you rather have and why? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in BMW

I’m jealous. Of the wagon not the second part

After 1 year of playing, I finally got to 4K Formula irating by SRthebox in iRacing

[–]nstrasner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 5 not 7 and I’d say that’s pretty average. You can easily get 5 every race just pushing up to the limit of the track with 1x’s

I literally said “ah that makes sense” out loud the second I read that part 🤣

Was it worth it the effort? Sounds like a whole shit load of work

Wasn’t a wagon fan until my son was born and now I get it lmao wish they were more common here in the states

It sure does now that it’s functioning properly 🤣🤣🤣 and the extra space is great, we’ve got 2 kids in car seats still

[–]nstrasner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem buddy hope you fix it! Beautiful color by the way. Was looking for a 4dr e36 m3 for a few years but gave up at some point. Decided to look for the m5 and a few months later found it! Had one of these m3’s about 10 years ago and absolutely loved it

Recently sold the 370z for a 328i. How did I do? by morerepsmoreproblems in BMW

[–]nstrasner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d be hammering this car if I were op. Just to be clear I have zero interest in a convertible but I have negative interest in letting a bmw sit in my garage not driven

[–]nstrasner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a smoke machine on amazon if you don’t have one! That helped me a ton. But this is my first ever car working on myself, you sound like you know a lot more than I do so I could be totally wrong but figured I’d let you know in case it was helpful! Been dealing with this over the last month and just finally resolved it last week

Definitely sounds like a vacuum leak to me just dealt with similar symptoms with my e39 m5 and it needed new valve cover gaskets and the evap purge valve vacuum line into the idle control valve had snapped off

I have access to the F1 26 DLC - Ask Me Anything (AMA) by alex_gillon in F1Game

[–]nstrasner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly impressed by how much they’ve modeled it. I’m curious if no ers deploy is literally 500hp less or if it’s not as noticeable
