Need a C cable charger for my digital rear view mirror.

This has been a project I have been working on for a few months now!!

This is a high flow cold air intake with a built-in "AirRam"

In my words, holds more air so your engine doesn't choke out on itself.

Not sure how much HP this is adding yet, but getting a dyno run booked to figure out how much power this is adding.

But this thing is crazy loud, its soo cool lmao

Anyways, question are welcome! Unfortunately cant include a video clip with pictures. But might make a second post with it!

Anyways, cheers!

Saw this profile on the gram making a 2000s era build, and I absolutely love this glowing steering wheel (idgaf how impractical it is). Anyone have any info on it?

This is my 9th gen civic , I’ve been working on this widebody/fender flare install for a few months and it’s pretty much ready for paint
Issue is I still rub on the fronts when the wheel is around 70-100% turned what are some options I could do to deal with this if hammering in the unibody apron as a last resort ?
Tire + wheel specs are
Front: 225/45/17 with +35 offset + about 38mm spacers
Rears : 225/45/17 +15 offset and about 20mm spacers
Thanks !

One of the biggest modifications in our Porsche 911 Targa 1987 project is a complete rethink of the suspension setup.

From the factory, the car uses a suspension system based on torsion bars. For its time, it was a very effective solution - lightweight, durable, and perfectly suited to preserving the distinctive driving characteristics of a classic 911. For our project, however, we wanted to achieve a wider range of adjustment and a more modern approach to handling.

That is why we decided to move away from the original torsion-bar setup and switch to an adjustable MacPherson-strut suspension with coil springs. This solution gives us considerably more freedom when setting up the suspension and allows us to fine-tune its characteristics to suit the overall concept of the car.

One of the biggest advantages of this change is much easier and more precise ride-height adjustment. With the original torsion-bar system, changing the height of the car is a considerably more time-consuming process. With the new setup, we can adjust the ride height much more easily to match our initial targets and then fine-tune it with much greater precision.

But ride height is only one part of what the new suspension allows us to adjust.

At the front, we will also be using adjustable camber plates. These will allow us to set the front suspension geometry much more accurately and tailor the behaviour of the car to the way we intend to use it. Camber settings have a significant influence on how the tyre works through a corner, front-end grip, and the precision of the car’s response to steering inputs.

Another important part of the setup will be performance dampers combined with stiffer springs. Their purpose is to reduce body roll, improve control over suspension movement, and give the car a more direct response to steering inputs.

For this project, we chose Ohlins dampers.

We have been working with Ohlins products for a long time and know their capabilities very well. What we value most is their high build quality, reliability, and consistency - particularly when a car is driven more dynamically.

Ohlins also gives us exactly what we are looking for in this project: a wide range of adjustment and the ability to precisely tailor the suspension characteristics to the individual car.

It is a solution we know well and trust. With a project like this, we do not want to experiment with random components. We want to use parts that deliver the right level of quality and durability, but above all, predictable behaviour behind the wheel.

The goal of the entire setup is to make our Targa more precise, stable, and predictable, particularly during faster driving and through corners.

At the same time, we are not trying to create an extremely stiff or uncompromising car. What matters to us is finding the right balance between the character of a classic Porsche and the capabilities offered by a modern, fully adjustable suspension system.

We do not want to change the character of the classic 911. We want to bring more out of it.

Nine years ago, this thing had an audience before it had panels.

October 2017. Varis had a Version 3 widebody for the Evo X that hadn't been shown anywhere yet, and they let us debut it at SEMA instead of Tokyo Auto Salon. That almost never happens. The only other time was our Concept One FR-S.

So we opened a thread on EvoXForums and put the whole thing up as it went. Sketches, then the clay. Panels test-fitted raw. Off the shelf vinyl wouldn't get us the red we wanted, so we printed our own. Then the AMS 2.2 crate motor went in, 800hp capable, ETS 6766 hanging off it.

Wheels and brakes came last. Hyperlock 19x11 -35 centerlocks over R35 GT-R calipers converted to Overtake carbon ceramics, and we asked the thread which finish to run. Silver or black.

Five days after that first post it was on a truck to Vegas.

I have a Audi A3 S-line saloon 1.4TFSI 2016 (pre face lift) I’m looking for a aggressive looking diffuser for it but can’t find anywhere and I would get a maxton one but I ordered the wrong one once and kinda paranoid lmao ,also just got a catback exhaust done and the tip is 6x4 inches any help and recommendations will be much appreciated lads .

Painted the insides of my exhaust

I just bought this 2009 2.4L, LE camry and I'm looking to put some new coil overs on it, has anyone used these/ knows about them? I want to lower it and add a little camber, if you have any recommendations or anything to help with my decision let me know!

It’s a really nice car especially for someone who’s only 18 but I want to modify the outside and what not. What should I do to it???

I want to do only exterior mods to make the car look sporty but i genuinely don’t have any ideas of what to do it’s a 2025 430i bmw gran coupe

Bought a used car and found this in the back. Its wired through the car to the battery. What is it? Anything to worry about?

Please note that above images are not mine and just sharing to give you a perspective...

I want 2 things- (well 3 actually)

1. I want the spread, left and right. In the vegetation, another lane or side of the road.
2. I want the distance. I want to see far. Like good distance far away. For eg. those laser headlight that BMW's have.
3. I want it to be kinda like warm white. 4000k-5000k.

My OEM setup is Halogen Projector in Low and Halogen Reflector in high beams.

What bulbs or setup should I go for? I am not too keen about doing a headlight retrofit or a headlight change as I paid quite the premium for these "upgrade" from the company but back then I had no knowledge about this stuff...

Should I go auxiliary light for that? I have a sedan so many types of aux won't look good on it.

Folks, I am responsible and educated enough to know that I won't be using it to blind other drivers. But I need more from my headlight. I would use the low beam in city and when there is oncoming traffic but I need more power in both low's and high's. I would make sure about the beam pattern and glare and all that stuff...

Just suggest me something....

I plan to install the GR Circuit hood and maybe the Apex/ FX wheels painted silver in the future. I went with Pontiac Vibe wheels and Camaro center caps, which is how I ended up with the transformers theme. Bit of a ricer build, but I still have big plans for the car. I also added some JDM touch with Modellista mirror chrome garnish, but I don't have a photo at the moment.

This contains AI images, but it's not AI slop, I promise! My '23 GRC is currently Ice Cap white, but I'm considering getting it repainted, so I had AI generate these two images. The first is GM Blaze Blue, and the second is Ford Voodoo Blue. Which do you think looks better? I can't make up my mind
