Suppressors work best when properly matched to the caliber they'll be shooting: a 9mm shot thru a 9mm can will sound better than the same bullet shot thru a .45cal can. That said, even in the second scenario it is vastly preferable to shooting unsupressed. To drive that point home, I've used...

If they bring back the Mazdaspeed Miata, especially in the new coupe body style, and stick one of the turbocharged SkyActiv engines in it coupled with a 6MT, I'd strongly consider adding one to my garage too

I know it's not for everyone, but HID and projector retrofits have gotten so cheap over the past few years that I think it is an option that should be given serious consideration. You get a big increase in usable light output, the bulbs last forever (OE bulbs from a '00 BMW still worked when I...

I'd rather take a GT350R and a few sets of extra tires, and have some money left over. Then again, I'm a high revving NA kind of guy.

I think part of the problem is not just large wheels and the requisite low profile tires, it's large HEAVY wheels and low profile tires. The difference in ride quality (not to mention performance) between, for example, OE 26lb 19x9.5 wheels with 27lb 255/35R19 tires and aftermarket forged...

A buddy of mine is pushing 500rwhp on a built Coyote, and I believe he's running Redline 5W40 with no problems. This is with pretty regular track use, both road course and drag strip

Judging by your name and your signature, you seem to have a penchant for F/I (specifically turbo) cars, if you have never done so (I am guessing you have, though), fill up with VP/Torco 100/104/110UL and set your AccessPort/APR Tuner/whatever to the appropriate fuel map tune, and enjoy a...

Overkill, you should be familiar enough with the BMW world to know just how significant of gains can be had on the S54 with "more airflow" via the CSL dry carbon fiber manifold (I have a first production run OE on mine, 13-44rwhp and 8-41rwtq gains from 2k to 8.8krpm!)... I do only recommend...

The Pilot A/S3's are also exceptional tires if you live in the narrow climate band where All Seasons are justifiable...

You will get so many recommendations for paint care products that I will refrain from adding to the confusion, and instead say: 3M Crystalline UV-/Heat-Blocking Tint is absolutely AMAZING, it makes it possible to live with a black interior car in the summer time without hating life. The brown...

Just pull the sensor next time you drain the oil, see if it's visually dirty...

There are a few stations around me, all Shell (one Sunoco where I get 100/104UL at a pump) with 93 and one with 94 Ethanol-free. My cars are all modified and running custom Dyno tunes, with maps selectable for 100/104/110 race gas but the base is for my standard 93/94 E-Free gasoline. 2...

Always start with the lightest abrasive you can, and there ARE a few decent AIO's out there that I have used, going by memory I recommend, for hand application: Meguiars White Wax Meguiars Ultimate Polish/Compound depending on need (follow by wax and or sealant of choice) Griot's Garage...

Michelin Pilot SuoerSports... They're so good, I bought a FWD car because they make the car unnaturally predictable/controllable for the layout (it's an R56 Mini Cooper S JCW that I'm making a fun car)... They are also the only tire (size 275/30R19 on 19x11.5" Ray's Volk TE37SL rear wheels)...

FWIW, I have been extremely impressed with my in-line/on-demand water heaters (I also have radiant heating, so easy plumbing), and I strongly recommend looking into that route.

As long as the light is yellow, and goes away within 60-90sec of driving, it's typical and the only thing that replacing the Oil Level Sender unit will do is cost you money that you are VASTLY better off spending elsewhere...
