I'm sorry I cannot help. lowest weight is carbon ceramic rotors and associated pads. end of story

A few things from someone who’s gone through a brake overhaul 1. The stock brakes are the absolute bottom pf the list in terms of performance , but if you just replace the stock pads with say GLOC R12 compound, then suddenly they’re good 2. Brake pedal travel is the factor here - several...

Yes did that.

Yes I need to find a flat spot that has at least 25 feet of clearance in front of the car to do this. Can’t do the headlight alignment in my garage.

Will the -E lights work as well for a 2018 3? Or do I have to find the - D lights?

Yeeeaahh boyeeee!

help me @terranx :) I need the matrix commands on my S. NEw Headlights are in! just need to program.. Toolbox 3 and local connection are working great too.

I went through all 12 pages here but couldnt find the service shel commands to use . MY headlights are in and like a genius, I installed them before testing... Help me with the service commands please? My toolbox 3 access and connection to the car are just great.

It’s their headlight and their config :) the only thing not theirs is the plug adapter

Got mine today :) it’s the F part

Then buy the Plaid :) Oh and you still have to spend the $10k on all the parts I mentioned ! If you want a car that works in the corners, not just the straights :)

If you think your P85DL was slow, by all means upgrade to a plaid. But if it was plenty fast for you, get a regular LR and spend an extra $10K in redoing the suspension and brakes with MPP or UP stuff. You’ll end up with a spectacularly agile car Today’s LR is as fast as your P85DL

Yes but now I know it exists! So…:)

Well, I’ve held off doing anything until the lower shroud comes in. Don’t want to have to touch it again after :)

Please refer to the original message :) No sound in manual mode!

Over the last month, my 2021 Plaid S AC has a rapid clicking sound sorta behind the center screen when the AC is in Auto. Sounds not there in manual mode. Anyone?

Hmm. I forgot about that. I’ll try it nevertheless and report back! :) Maybe they’ll all sync up if I leave them alone for a day

So since I’m going to be doing the screen tilt and headlights together, I was going to put in the tilt mechanism and the new VCLeft controller a few days before the headlights. If I just do the tilt hardware swap and just reinstall firmware from service mode until I get the headlights in, will...

I wonder what’s different with the latest rev G version on epc

A buddy of mine who’s a lifelong Lexus guy and lives vicariously through me (his words) said… and I quote “that spiderweb looks cheap! It’s only a plaid if it says so!” :)

Ordered both today . Don’t know if my Oct 21 build has either of them, but they’re $12 together :) By the way my Plaid is the original Plaid because that’s what the badge spells out! All these new ones that have the spider web look like knockoffs ! There I said it!

Got ‘em for 600 :)

Just made him an offer on eBay :)

Each new global headlight is now $2200 :) a piece !

The service procedure for headlight removal (non global headlight) has the fascia removal procedure in it . The service procedure for global headlight removal has a differwnt step for it (fewer bolts to remove) I have the front UP splitter so I can’t get to the extra bolts in the fascia...

Argh. No I didn’t . Do I need to? The e videos I saw don’t show needing it

Why is my fresh from the service center motorized assembly crooked ? Seems like it’s by design - they have blue lines to show some calibration?

I do like my cornering light up! However I think I’m going to get them :)

Still waiting for my parts to arrive at the service center. In the meantime I did test out the h-mtd interface converter that I got from technica over a year ago. 192.168.90.100:8080 doesn’t work anymore, but a simple arp -a command worked just fine on my laptop to show me that all is well!

These matrix headlights. What functionality do you lose with them?

Happened to me today too. And I swear it wasn’t my fault. Now to ask the real question - is there a toolbox3 action / sequence to clear the strikes :)

Excellent :) thanks!

True, but I have a history of being an abused buyer on eBay :) I don’t want one of the pins to be broken or unsoldered or the like! I’d greatly appreciate your write up when you get a chance

Got my left controller and tilt assembly ordered at the service center today. Looking forward to getting the tilt done next week . Parts estimate is $90 for the assembly, $475 for the controller. Already have the technica media convertor.

A lot depends on how toned your ass is. If your gluteus Maximus is marbled like a wagyu steak then even the hard settings will feel comfy. If your gluteus Maximus is however usda certified lean, then even the soft setting is hard! Mine is set to advanced - full soft / full sport.

For the gloc pad I was referencing? That has a very aggressive bite from ambient all the way to 1800F . If the brake fluid ain’t boiling, these pads have no fade. But truth be told, I cheated a bit :) I’m using dual shims in the calipers - pad shims as well as caliper piston shims. I got the...

I’m not sure I understand the question. When is when you’re braking Where is on the street

For several people, just upgrading the pads to say GLOC’s R12 compound will give massive brake improvement. I tried it with my god awful braking on my 2021 and the pads are so aggressive (in an excellent braking way) that I can see the rotors getting worn. I’m on the MpP rotors now for...

I wonder if anyone here had the MPP brakes and then went to the track pack. How much of a difference is that.

Hmm. So in layman terms they made the knuckles a bit smaller to fit under a 20” wheel. Ok.

How can it be mounting points. The new knuckles fit the same standard calipers that are on the 2021-early2022 as well as the latest 2024s

I’m really curious what it is about the new knuckles that’s needed? Non rubber bushings?

I understand your rationale. Here’s the reasons why I think you have under spec’d tires 1 the weight of the car is 4800lbs without any added drivers. It’s the GVWR (5600 lbs) that you have to plan for. 2. So at 5600 lbs, you need 1400lbs per tire. However you’ve not included the added dynamic...

So I’ve been told that the track pack comes with new knuckles for the front and rear 2021/22 cars. Is that true? Both front and rear? Also is there any change in the rubber bushings on the knuckle for the rear? Did they become spherical bearings yet?

Are you sure that’s the right size tire? Its load rating is just 99. The car will fit a 265/40R20 for a 28.3” diameter and a 104 load rating. Also the tread width for that tire is going to be almost an inch less than the 10” wheel. That’s a cornering weight load problem unless you have track...

Folks - remember to dust off / vacuum your sock occasionally and especially after pollen season gets over. You dont want it clogged with pollen / dust cement

the plaid and the Long range have identical suspensions . The mpp stuff for the plaid fits the long range. Did you have any aftermarket suspension bits on your M3P? If not, then the LR is just a tad heavier. The rubber bushings on the oem links (just like the m3p) make the drivability a bit...

265/40R20 front 295/35R20 rear I find a 285 tire in the front is sorta overkill because it makes the steering much harder. Also if you use spacers or a reduced offset than factory, it only increases the effort needed for steering even further. So people with 285 in the front and a reduced...

Wow. Have you taken dynamic weight into consideration at all. For a long wheelbase like the S, the tires handle up to 1.3X their static weight during braking (front), cornering, acceleration (rear) - weight transfer. For a car with a GVWR of 5600lbs (rounded up to the nearest 100), 1.3X static...

Indeed :)
