Epic has been around for yearsssss.

I run his tune on my e46 m3 and it’s been rock solid. He fixed issues with the tune that 2 prior folks weren’t able to get the drivability right.

You can trust Epic.

I’m struggling to afford enough tape to cover my brake duct holes. And you out here just throwing it people faces that you got money like that.

Not cool bro .

I'm using a basic (non tensioning) E46 receptacle on my 1M clone with Recaro Sportsters for the time being while I wait for a bracket to mount the E92 receptacle. It's probably not the safest option but better than no seat belt lol

Nope but no reason it can't be done. It works. Just code out the pretensioner.

Randy is the man.
Is this a paid add?

The Epic tune has been great with my forward X BW x pipe. I had the alpine tune for a minute with BW X (bc i was cheap) and at 2k RPM, the whole car fell on its face for a split second. Switched to Epic and have had no issues in the 20+ days on track with it.

Many of you may have seen this on my IG, but figured I'd share too. We have a local track in FL called the firm, cute little 1.6 mile track that does open days and you can lap forever, great for test and tune. I finally broke into the 13's which i've been chasing for a little while. Lap was on pretty worn out Yoko's but the TT3 2022 record is 14.1. They do a little local TT series here using nasa rules so i fall right on the edge of tt3. I should have another .5-.6 seconds with fresh A7's. Still working on that silly hairpin, and that turn with the wall I need to be patient on entry.

Anyhow, enjoy!

I am looking for, but not finding, light weight, yet attractive, side mirrors that can be mounted to carbon doors. The stock ones require a custom mounting solution due to their weight or I'd use them. Any ideas?

Have you ever seen my friend Matt out there with a white V6 SW20 MR2? It has been down for a DSG swap so it hasn’t been out for a while…I need to come to the firm with him to help set it up when I’m visiting family in Florida sometime. I’ve actually never even tracked in my home state!
