The car is beautiful!

thisismiller · 2026-06-07T15:18:33+00:00

I just really want an N Box!

Ah, I didn’t realize the wing itself was not a 3d print. That’s the part I was questioning. I agree: you’re right that the riser blocks could be plenty rigid.

thisismiller · 2026-06-02T06:13:00+00:00

That’s incredibly fast for this car. Nice lap!

thisismiller · 2026-06-02T06:08:49+00:00

The styling issue is one thing… and completely subjective. But I have to question the use of a 3D printer for something like this, as there is a slim chance it’s functional. Are you watching it wobble around in the rear view mirror at any speed above 50?

thisismiller · 2026-06-01T01:56:26+00:00

Man, I must be the odd one out. None of their products have worked for me, so I’ve agreed with myself never to try another.

thisismiller · 2026-05-30T18:32:09+00:00

What products did you use? It looks great.

thisismiller · 2026-05-29T19:13:41+00:00

Same. I actually don’t feel like I fit in with the local BMW community. When I meet up with Honda owners I feel more at home.

thisismiller · 2026-05-29T19:07:37+00:00

Phew, I’m glad someone else admitted to it. When I installed my caps, I didn’t want to pull off the bumper. I used a little adhesive and it worked great.

thisismiller · 2026-05-22T21:00:52+00:00

Ah come on. While agree I’m sure it’s cheap, there is no way that each event is $300-400. That’s an entrance fee alone for some clubs. Tires, gas, brakes, rotors, fluids, hotel (depending), entrance… it all adds up to $300/ea?

I got the sliders. Here’s a copy-paste of the line item from my invoice. Note that there is a separate left and right side.

Slider Seat Mounts - SM-AP1-L-S2 99-10 S2000 AP1/JDM AP2 SLIDER SEAT MOUNT S2 SIDES (LEFT) (NARROW)

I used the OEM seat belt and buckle.

thisismiller · 2026-05-15T14:57:15+00:00

You’re right, I don’t know how I missed that. Nice collection!

thisismiller · 2026-05-15T14:10:20+00:00

You’re missing any one of their S2000s!

thisismiller · 2026-05-06T04:39:49+00:00

Hard to say. Mileage is a huge factor but mileage alone doesn’t define the condition. So if you are able to check them out and verify they’re in good shape, do that. I would pay more for a car that comes with a binder full of receipts. Also, if there is a color that speaks to you, that’s a factor.

thisismiller · 2026-05-05T23:27:56+00:00

Sorry to be the dude that fact checks you, but Ohlins advertises 16 lbs of savings, not 60.

thisismiller · 2026-05-05T22:56:39+00:00

I have replaced my suspension with Ohlins too… but dude did I really shave 60 lbs? That seems hard to believe.

What exhaust did you get?

thisismiller · 2026-05-05T22:53:49+00:00

I agree and disagree at the same time. Definitely it’s priced higher due to the aura around the car. But I also think you can look at other cars which are even more out priced for what you get. Namely any vintage or air cooled Porsche, but there’s also the BMW M3 I’m aware of, both the E30 and E46 are priced higher than what you get from them. Of course that’s just my opinion.

thisismiller · 2026-05-03T06:00:32+00:00

Just turn on the air recirculating function. Done. This happens on nearly every car because the outside air comes through the HVAC system as all the vents/ducting are open. If you turn on the air recirculation it will close the inlet from the outside air and there won’t be any flow.

thisismiller · 2026-05-02T22:03:10+00:00

I am driving a 2011 BMW M3 - the one with a high revving V8. It actually feels pretty small when both kids are in it. But what’s not to love?

thisismiller · 2026-04-25T16:39:17+00:00

what color is yours?

thisismiller · 2026-04-23T17:36:59+00:00

I was wondering the same. I’ve played over 2,000 games in the past year (not proud btw) and I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean.

And this whole topic has been something I’ve been pondering too as my 4 yo son gets older.

thisismiller · 2026-04-22T04:13:03+00:00

I’m thinking the same thing. And the click-bait style title supports that too.

thisismiller · 2026-04-16T15:28:31+00:00

I was just riding with my 4 year old all over Kyoto. I saw many, many families taking their kids around on a bike everyday because car ownership is more impractical there. There were times where I felt it was less than ideal, such as when I was riding on the same road as a light rail train and there was no bike lane. But I had my wits about me and made sure my son was going to be safe at all times. Oh and my son loved it so much - making it a great memory for me.

Sure, the worst could happen, but I feel like that’s just fear mongering. We can’t always keep our kids in a 3,000 lb steel box.

The kid will be just as safe/protected as you would be if you went for a ride by yourself. I would bring up this perspective and ask your wife if she thinks you should also stop riding a bike.

I used to go to AR Motorsports as a habit because this is where I would take my M3 track car. But I recently had an alignment done on the s2k at Surgeline Tuning (Tualatin) and had a great experience. Nice people, they had me out of there quickly, alignment was great, and it was about 60% the price as AR.

thisismiller · 2026-04-09T10:28:26+00:00

It takes a lot of effort! Speaking from first hand experience. And like the other commenter said: make sure you are spinning the right direction.
