    I’m building a fully custom Infotainment UI

    Aww man, that sucks. Hope you enjoyed the project until now. I think your plug-in approach (as opposed to the re-program the OEM system approch) has given the community some ideas, some of which future projects can be based on. Thank you, I enjoyed this thread and your updates!

    3d printing recommendations

    Bed slingers are fun to watch, but since I would like everything to be inside a box, looks like my choice is going to be core XY. My PC screen is getting tons of advertisements from Creality :LOL:

    Thank you. Since I am looking for an appliance to just unbox and use, I think I should stay mainstream.

    3d printing recommendations

    Hi, complete newbie here. "Creality" and "Bambu" seem to be the mainstream brands with lots of support and on-line information. I'm wondering about slightly cheaper products from "Elegoo", does anyone have experience with their 3D printers? Currently looking at their "Centauri Carbon" model...

    Break pads for emira in Japan

    Looking at the first post in The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option , the EMIRA calipers are supposedly F: AP RACING CP7040D61 R: AP RACING CP6600D55 The list on the ENDLESS web page shows the following pads for these calipers. Are they the ones you tried but didn't fit? F...

    Action Cam Mount via tow hook

    Finally got to an acceptable level. Shaved off maybe 0.38mm. Sort of wish I left it at 0.37mm, but good enough.

    DIY: Floating Console Modification

    Just wondering if you made one, not asking you to take it apart. To clarify; you unbolt shifter unit from chassis so you can lift it up put the plastic tray in and guesstimate where to make the cut-out take out the plastic tray, use the template to mark where to cut cut install plastic tray...

    FS Black OEM wheels

    It might be good to note which car (V6 or Turbo) the rear wheels are for. Any plans on traveling to Japan?

    Lightest weight track wheels

    I was thinking about asking one of the Hong Kong based forum vendors about the wheels. As for tires, I would recommend sourcing them domestically. I don't think Shibatire ships internationally.

    Lightest weight track wheels

    To retain as much of the OEM geometry, I was thinking along the lines of 245/40R19 and 285/35R19 on custom ordered wheels with the same width and offsets as OEM wheels. For the 3.5 liter Emira V6, that would be 8.5x19 ET57 5x114.3 and 10.5x19 ET54 5x114.3 (the rears will be different for the 2...

    Exhaust Tip Swap Match up

    In theory, yes. However you would have to remove them from the plastic bumper assembly to prevent melting. If you go through with that, it would be easier to just replace them with aftermarket blue tips... Or, you can sand blast and clean the OEM tips, and anodize them yourself (the Youtube...

    No, first corner was an off-roading gravel experience :LOL: This was between turn 13 and 14. OEM Cup2 tires. Honestly, it's my driving skills not the tires.
