I bet you could wire up a little electric motor to an actual clutch pedal to give resistance like a real clutch. You would have some artificial feel (like with electric power steering) but you would have some feel and the computer could use that electric motor as a way to “engage” the clutch in the dual clutch…

2 different cars. the 135 also has 4 seats. Corvette is a “sports car”, the BMW is a sporty coupe. Corvettes are lite and one of the reasons they are so quick.

According to the google, the 335i is about 35-3600 lbs. The weight of my 135i was on actual scales. I think the 335i used a lot more aluminum in its construction over the 135i too.

My 2011 135i M sport with manual trans weighed 3300 lbs, not light weight but not too bad, I didn’t think

The 235i is a twin scroll single turbo N55 motor. I miss my 135i greatly, those might be even cheaper than a 235 and you might be able to get an extended warranty for it.

It would be nice to have higher octane at the pump. Shit, id like CA to get 93 octane instead of the piss 91 we get. There is a local VP Racing station that has 100 octane at the pump but its $8+ a gallon, so id be ok with a 10 cent increase.

its in Vegas as well. Its a good time. the ls2gto forum has a lot of the info but there is also a GoatRun 2017 FB page.

Nice BBM GTO. You coming out to GoatRun this year? Ill be in there in my 06 CGM GTO.

My first bike was an 03 SV650(n) I bought for $2900 sold it 4 years later for $2900. I put tires on it and rebuilt the water pump but it was nice not to lose my ass on it. it was also a great bike and $2900 was kind of the limit I was willing to “throw away” if I totaled the bike. Your first bike should be something…

After a night of racing my friends DSM around, he used to get out and light his cigarette on the red glowing orb that was his turbo. As a young impressionable kid, this was the coolest thing someone could do after having a “fast” car. If my car was turbo, I would’ve taken up smoking right then and there

Id love to buy this if I had the money but Id ruin it. Big turbo (holset HX35), Large FMIC, 1000+cc injectors, HKS 272 cams, walboro 255 fp, arp headstuds, full 3inch exhaust, DSMLink, and a tial 44mm external wastegate. I would then try to daily drive it, be disappointed that it ran hot in the 100+ degree summers…

A guy I work with has a New Beetle, the headlights mustve broke because he has some of those offroad buggy lights in their place. Its brilliant and actually works pretty well on the New Beetle. I don’t know how much light they put out but I bet its enough. The New Beetle is also diesel and is pretty beat. Hes an…

Youre right! I had to go back and look at the pics. Ive never seen a GTO with that aftermarket mirror(s) on it before, must be custom. But why not swap it out if you put the stock mirror on the drivers side?

I don’t think the GTOs have that issue, I believe one of the changes made to the Monaro to make it a GTO was undercoating coverage. I have seen a few neglected GTOs with surface rust on suspension parts but haven’t heard of anyone complaining about rust on the body/under carriage itself.

yeah its spice red. you can tell by the silver gauges. Also the supercharger is a Harrop supercharger.
I love my 06 GTO with the magnuson tvs1900. I wonder if these fender flares help fit wider tires. One down fall to the GTO is the lack of room for a wide tire. I think the widest you can run without a minitub, is…

I don’t get it either. The Manual trans was the $1000 option when new.

In high school, I had a 1959 VW bug that I had spent all of my hard earned money to get running my senior year. I built the motor, trans, redid the brakes, and rewired the car with a little help from my father and all of my won money. My father was a strict man and my curfew was set to 10pm. If I wanted to stay out…

I have a weird fear every time I drive over a tall bridge that my muscles will twitch causing me to swerve and drive the car off said bridge resulting in firey death.
Another car related fear I have: When I walk by storm drains, I reach into my pocket and hold my car keys a little tighter for fear that I will take…

Ive driven them while in the military, they are called Bobtails. We used them to tow munitions trailers. The Dodges tow better and have much more power than the Fords. But I think part of it is because the Dodges are regeared really low. The Dodges top out at 42-ish mph, where as the Fords are goverened at 40mph but…

On my black 96 talon I bought, it had red pin striping. I told them to remove it and I would buy it. Ive never had a dealer try to sell me pin striping. Ive also asked to have the dealership sticker removed prior to buying a car. They weren’t happy but they threw their license plate frame on it, which I removed when…
