[Chilezen]

Good news, finally found the problem.
I sent the car to a shop to have them pull it apart since I couldn't make the time.

They said the TOB was installed incorrectly! It was behind...

You know roaches play dead right? So you're saying r3v will flip over and rise again lol...

[Chilezen]

Ah you would have been out of luck anyway, the organizers decided to move it again. It's not at the beach, it's in San Pedro....

Now that I finally have my car up and running, having driven it around, I can share my thoughts on the X3/E83 Booster.

Pedal pressure feels good, natural. It's not a crazy amount of assist....

[Chilezen]

*sigh* checking in...
I'm surprised nobody has commented in this year's Dockweiler thread. Is anyone from r3v going? Or will it be all facebook and instagram tards? We need to level out our rat...

[Chilezen]

Oh, Simon, get yourself an angle grinder with cutoff...

Interesting that the ECU modifies the signal from the diff based on the type of trans.
How is your ECU mounted currently? Mine's in the OEM location, I cut the bracket to make it wider, and use...

I'm just here for gf pics

[Chilezen]

What a wild place this is

[Chilezen]

So, update on my swap...

I did all I could to put it together in my backyard. One of the last things I had to do was bleed the brakes and clutch line. The brakes seem okay but I'm having...

I don't have any recs for your area, but I can share my experience with driveshafts. You're looking at a minimum of $400 to have it done, because every place I've been to either can't do it or claims...
