F56 brake poor man's upgrade

Brake fade on track, I saw some do a countryman caliper/rotor upgrade but are those unique pad shapes that are hard to get in track pads? I would like to stay small enough for 15x8 wheels if possible...

SOLD---------Selling my like new VMP Gen3r. I set this up on my 07 late fall and decided to sell the car the following spring. Used maybe 200 miles. Sold my 3 GT500's to move into a newer platform, so this is no longer needed. I am the original owner of this blower, and the kit is complete with all parts for installation. Asking $3200 plus ship and fees. Local pickup preferred.

I been talking to a local Amazon owner (Jay) for a while now and he mentioned a few times over the years that his mom has a wagon that needs some work. She bought it back in 1993 and stopped driving it around 2010 after it developed some issues. He parked it inside after draining all the coolant and gas out of it back then. I didnt think much of it until my son mentioned he wanted a car... This weekend we finally had time to go and get it, he just turned 16. Car lived most of it's life... Read more

Bought this 55e in early July and have enjoyed it quite a bit so far (our 4th Q5, first PHEV). Had a couple of warnings about the SOS Emergency call thing not working, but it would just go away...

I've never updated the DIS on my car since I bought it new in 2019 and have noticed the map data is very outdated now! update.genesis.com says the latest update is from 07/2026, has anyone installed it? Any issues? Tips for first time updates?

Is it me, or does the oem backup camera sucks? At least video quality wise. Its night and day compared to my sister's BMW. I wish they made HD aftermarket versions.

Just checking to see if anyone has done lowering springs? My plan was to go with the eibach pro kit and swap out bump stops to the 73mm bump stops that go on the sport suspension. Thought this might...

The car does not appear to have any sort of transponder on the key and as I only have one I would like to get a spare. Went to the local key cutter and they were talking about weeks for a turn...

I had a 2021 1500 Hemi and traded it because I did NOT feel totally comfortable pulling my 30 foot travel trailer at about 8K weight and 800 tongue. I've been towing for over 20 years as I progressed in size and weight for TT's. I WAS within specs on the 1500 so that was NOT the problem. But I took the trailer out on about a 5K mile trip and at 68, I said, nope, not doing it. It was that <1% of the time that the trailer was in control unexpectedly that did it. IF you tow you likely know what... Read more

1983 242 b23f lh2.1 w/ Chrysler ignition. Can someone tell me what this is? I cannot find a definitive answer. It definitely seems factory, but is capped. Best guess so far has been an unused over pressure or charge air overpressure switch as if my car was to be turbo’d but wasn’t. Could also be possible related to ignition or egr?

I purchased a new 2025 RX350. The dealer told me that premium fuel was required. The increase in mpg would offset the added cost of fuel. Is this factual?

i recently bought a 1994 volvo 960 3.0 700 bucks that had been left in a field for around 5 years and immediately replaced the timing belt and wp as you do with an early whiteblock, but i notice the timing gears seem to be axially misaligned where the passenger side sits ahead of the belt and the driver side allmost flush. Any clue why and what should i do? Also i replaced my steering rack it was fine before but it seems to keep getting air in the system after rotating a turn and a half... Read more
