[FS: F56 OEM Halogen Tail Lights ($200)]

Selling a set of OEM Halogen tail lights off my 2018 F56 MCS.

 

Perfect condition; bulbs are still good, all tangs and clips intact. I removed to upgrade to Union Jack LEDs.

 

Looking for $200 OBO.

 

[Sports Cat and VA Emissions]

realistically the answer it, It depends. Is the downpipe you are looking at a cat deleted one or does it have a free flow cat? Have you changed the exhaust system and modified the second cat from OEM?

 

1) if it changes the emissions enough to trip a code, automatic fail at an inspection station. Clearing the code before driving will result in a no test due to the ecu "ratting you out". You will have to drive about 100 miles to reset. 

 

2) If it removes the downpipe cat, then by the law it fails, but that requires the inspector to know the car hasa second cat, and checks to see if it is there. So depending on the inspector or day it could pass or fail. 

 

Now if someone was you pass through a rapidpass mobile test, they would be able to go to the website and for a small convenience fee pay for their emission test if they passed (I have never seen a failed one), and there would be no physical inspection.

 

Where might these tester be? https://rapidpassvirginia.com/VaPublic/Locations

 

 

 

 

This is helpful. I think my plan here is ultimately to do a sports cat (not a full decat) and a Borla axle-back exhaust.

 

Specifically, looking at: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-milltek-sport-parts/downpipe-with-high-flow-catalytic-converter-oem-exhaust-fitment/ssxm429~mll/

 

I would do a Stage 2 tune through Dinan at the same time, so the coding shouldn't be a problem. Would that pass, do you think?

[Sports Cat and VA Emissions]

I'm looking to put a sports cat in my 2018 F56 S. Of course the vendors all say the downpipes are for off-road use only. Does anyone have experience with emissions on a sports cat? Will it pass in VA?

 

Thanks so much!

[Replacing Lower Control Arm]

Just answering my own question for posterity here—

 

Attach the Control Arm to the front axle support @ 100Nm + 90deg. Do this in normal position (car on the ground or hub supported). Attach to the wheel hub (beneath the strut) at 60Nm.

 

The holder at the rear, which replaces the bushing, is 100Nm to the front axle support (two bolts of different lengths), and 56Nm + 90deg to the body (two bolts).

[Replacing Lower Control Arm]

Hi all—first post here, and grateful for any help in advance.

 

I need to replace the front left LCA in my 2018 F56. I'm wondering if anyone has done this and has instructions/ torque specs. Seeing a bit of info for R5*s, but nothing for the F56s.

 

Thanks so much, and looking forward to being part of the community.
