salad torture

I have a 2011 BMW 528i. From the factory it s set up with positive camber in the front axle and a lot of negative in the rear and this causes understeer, or at least a tendency for the front axle to push around most corners. I am thinking of tuning the front camber to -1.5 (negative) to match roughly whatever camber is in the rear. Then, perhaps I am thinking of tuning just a touch of negative toe on the front axle to help with turn in. This is for a spirited daily driver, street use. Any suggestions or information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Has anyone made the switch from 0w20 to 5w30 oil? it made a huge difference for me and the engine really loved it. 0w20 oil is too thin for the rod bearings and while it is likely fine for the average driver, this thin oil accelerates the wear of your bearings very quickly when driven aggressively. what do you people think?

the whole 0w nonsense is in north america only because of the CAFE requirements. before you guys start to bleat about how I am not following manufacturer recommendations, take a look at what the company spec's for any country except canada or the US. it will be 5w30 oil. and yes, I know all of you will say that 0w20 is the same as 5w20 at operating temperature, bulls*it. there is no magical chemistry at play here which dictates that a thinner oil can somehow protect your bearings as effectively as a 5w would.

try making the switch, and see what I mean. your engine will thank you for it.

since everyone on this website is stupid and offers no details, here goes. vehicle in question is a 2015 mazda 6 2.5L. 70k KM on it runs and drives perfectly fine. recently made the switch to 5w30 oil and the engine loved it. anyways, my dad is a careful driver and never accelerates aggressively. I got the chance to take it out last night and did a couple full throttle pulls. it smelled very strongly like cats after the first pull. I did two more and the smell was still there, albeit much less strong. is it possible that I am clearing out the cats if the vehicle is never driven like this?

a mechanic tried to rip off me and my dad (as usual) by claiming we need new control arms because there was play in the ball joints. does it make any sense to replace just the joints if the labour is the same? i dont really care if the amount of work is the same, thats his problem. im not willing to spend money on something that doesnt need to be fixed.

???

what sort of reliability would I expect from this engine if I drive relatively aggressively (heavy car) the engine is in a 2011 bmw 528i. I always change the oil on time with castrol edge syntec 5w-30

hello, will the rim damage any of the components in the steering or whatnot if the offset is about 5 or so mm off from oem? thank you

obviously I would use the idrive but it is broken from water damage. how can I remove or wipe the message?

hi, a couple months ago i got a slash in the side of my front right tire so i was forced to replace it. my idrive broke from water damage, so i cannot reset the tmps and get rid of the message on my idrive. is there any other ways to somehow get rid of this message? thank you

could someone (preferably past or present owners) tell me things they liked, and didnt like about these cars?

2001 acura integra

2003-2006 acura rsx

eg/ek/ep honda civic

2004 mazda 3 hatch

2006 mazdaspeed 6

thanks

i am thinking about becoming some sort of engineering degree that has to do either with technology or mechanics. what will the demand of the job look like in 10 years, and what will the salary look like for the next couple decades? thanks

people who had or have these cars please tell me which one would be best in terms of reliability, insurance and fuel economy (most to least important)

i would like to know as much as i can about all of these cars and which ones should i consider more so over another and why

2006 mazdaspeed 3 not quite a looker but definetly a very nice car

2013 subaru brz depending on how much these will cost in the next couple years

2003 - 2006 infiniti g35 highly doubt it as it doesnt fit my 3 points of criteria very well

2001 lexus ls430 how is it in terms of reliability? gas isnt great, but how would insurance be?

2004 acura tl

2003 acura rsx

what else should i consider?

thank you so much!

hi, i took a piece of boneless lamb leg, approx 2.2kg and put it into my slow cooker with some olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon, honey, salt/pepper, etc. i know i shouldve added onion but anyways its been about 4 hours and ive tried a piece and its about medium/ medium well. should i cook it for another 4 hours and turn it into shredded lamb or is 4 hours enough? i know it is probably personal choice but what do you people think?

thanks alot
