I have the 813.3 MK60 ABS module out of an 03 vert that is running in standalone mode; I can connect directly to the module via INPA and everything works as expected.

I'd like to set the ZCP/CSL parameters on it, which means I need access to it via NCS, but I can't pull the GM/SA/VN since I don't have any of the other modules for the car for NCSExpert to read from. From what I can tell once I have those I can basically create a fake profile of the car, make the changes via NCSDummy, and then use NCSExpert to write the parameters to the ABS module itself.

Places charge $150 to do this, or you send the unit to the UK with $1700 to have the Continential race software flashed on it that lets you adjust all of the chassis parameters and basically turns it into an automated threshold braking unit without ice mode or the stock street friendly corner braking algos.

…but a main bearing?! That, that strikes me as a much more invasive campaign to remedy, near total overhaul, and far more impressive a bug-up than the con-rod bearings of NA S-engine shenanigans.

I uploaded some Option videos and poo poo back in like 2006, so I have like 15m video views. They occasionally get picked up by the YT algorithm and I get spammed with video comment notifications like, "drat, this comment section is older than I am"

poo poo makes me feel old

Oh right, I forgot GGGC was going from M2 to M340. Not sure if I should blame that on lack of sleep or too many Ms.

It’s like they do everything completely backwards, almost if it’s a company run by bean counters and not enthusiasts and purists, what with every major flaw that crops up with their cars only impacting low volume high profit models that folks will care and be mad online about and probably just buy a P car next time.
