It’s been a while since I made a minicar I figured I would try to do one in under 20 minutes. When I post them so many people ask “What app did you use”.
This video will show you what goes into making one even a quick one, takes quite a bit of effort.
When setting a password on the iLevel for my Accuair e-Level I encountered an error and became locked out. Accuair support assisted and got me up and running with this process. This process id great if you forget your password as well. The reset is on the inside of the iLevel so you need to disassemble and jumper the P3 while powering up. In this short video I cover the process to reset the iLevel mentioned in this document.
When purchasing wheels and tires there are a lot of factors to consider (see below). Many people assume if the bolt pattern fits than the rest will be correct, that could not be further from the truth. I spent a lot of time searching for wheels that would fit my AWD magnum. and even knowing the facts I messed up…
Niche Verona Model Other: M168
Partnumber: M168188091+40
or reach out to Lighting Trendz Mistake #1 When I finally found a pair that I loved I guess I was worn down from searching and totally missed the wheel bore specs. I purchased a wheel with a smaller bore 70.6 than my wheel hub 71.6. You will see in this video I used 6mm in BT Hub Centric spacers to get the wheels past the hub so they would mount flush.
Mistake #2 was mounting the wheels and tires before test fitting, I had an open slot of time to deliver the wheels and tires to be mounted and I rushed it, I didn’t test fit them and had the tires mounted and balanced. Once mounted most places will NOT take back the wheels.
To be honest I wasn’t about to return the wheels, because I liked the design of the Niche Verona wheels my goal was to make them fit and with some help from our friends at Billet Technology we did just that 😉
Bolt pattern – Proper bolt pattern is required for proper lug fitment, while some bolt patterns are “close enough” like the mopar 5×115 and Mustang 5×114.3 it’s arguably not safe to use.
Wheel Offset – This is the distance in millimeters the hub mounting surface is from center. A positive offset is towards the front of the wheel face, a negative offset is towards the back of the wheel. The wheels I purchased are a +40 offset which is 40mm off center towards the face of the wheel. This is in spec for the AWD Magnum.
Backspacing – This is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the back edge of the wheel. Backspacing is 1/2 the wheel width +/- the offset. The backspacing is important to consider, when you have a high positive offset as it may interfere with suspension components.
Center Bore – If your wheel is lug centric (lugs center the wheel) where the lugs openings are tapered, the lugs are conical or balled and tightening the lugs pulls the wheels into a centered position you simply need to make sure the wheel’s bore is LARGER than your hub. If your wheels are hub centric the Wheel center bore and the vehicle’s hub must be the same size or larger and hub centric rings must be used to fill the gap and better center the wheel.
Spacers – (optional) Spacers can be used to assist in getting the right offset, or clearing big brake kits on tight wheels configurations or in my case pushing me out to clear the hub bore issue. When high quality spacers are used they can be a safe alternative to giving up the wheels you love due to fitment issues.
Tire Height / Tire Width / Tire Circumference – all equally important. Tire height and circumference may affect the wheel’s ability to turn within the fender, getting a wheel larger or smaller than the stock will affect the speedometer’s accuracy. Also with AWD and 4WD cars you need to make sure you have 4 tires with the same height/circumference to prevent damage to the drive train. Lastly getting a tire too thin or too wide for your wheels may be dangerous as well. If you want to look into wider wheel and tire combinations Tire calculator sites can help you determine what will work best on your vehicle.

Dodge did an amazing job designing the taillights on the 2015+ Chargers and Challengers with the smoothly illuminated racetrack taillamp. To stand out among the thousands of other Challengers out there and give your car’s rear a very unique look we’ve created these decals which can be combined in different ways. By adding decals to the inner section of your lights it gives the illusion of one solid broken rectangle, and adding the outer overlays gives a very unique 4 horizontal line appearance.
Did you ever want Google Maps in Apple Carplay? Did you ever want Waze in Apple Carplay? This video will explain how you can get Google maps and Waze working with your Apple CarPlay. All with no hacking required!
Week 4 of the install, it’s taking longer than expected due to a few quirks with my Early 2015 Challenger. I’m hoping to get her on the road next week tho…. Also introducing the New (to me) 2005 Magnum R/T AWD.
What is the Endo-CVT?
INTERNAL WABCO COMPRESSOR – The internal WABCO compressor refills the tank with completely dry air at a rate twice as fast as the current market standard compressor.
DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE – Internal ECU monitors tank pressure, compressor head temperature, and ambient moisture levels to optimize compressor operation, provide maximum duty cycle, as well as regenerate the built-in desiccant air dryer as required.
SILENT OPERATION – Near silent operation due to a patent pending primary and secondary isolation system that softly suspends the compressor inside the tank body.
VALVE-INTEGRATED TANK CAPS – Includes the solenoid valves and air tank all in one easy to mount package
ADJUSTABLE FLOW CONTROL – Built-in VFC™ (variable flow control) adjusters allow for end user adjustment of the speed of each corner and each direction individually.
FILTERED PORTS – FFPT (fully-filtered-push-to-connect) air fittings eliminate the risk of debris-induced valve problems common with all other solenoid valves on the market.
BOLTED CONSTRUCTION – Modular and bolted construction makes disassembly possible for maintenance and upgrades.
DOT RATED AND TESTED – The only DOT Approved Aluminum air tank for air suspension. Certified to 200 psi and tested to an incredible 1324 psi burst pressure.
Here is a mechanical alternative to keep your active exhaust open all the time. With a quick 30 minute install you can install the MFER-1 on your Active exhaust equipped 2015+ Challenger or Charger. Get it here https://mfer-1.com/
The MFER-1 allows your active exhaust remain open, without changing your drive mode to Track or Sport and provides the feedback the motors require to avoid throwing codes and activating your Check Engine Light.
Install Video coming soon… Too many mods too little time
The MFER-1 allows your Active Exhaust to stay open all the time without the Check Engine light issues some face when removing the module. This system bolts to your exhaust and allows the system to think it’s working while keeping the butterfly locked in the open position. Install video coming soon.
Getting started with the Accuair Endo-CVT tank installation and wiring. In this video I go over what holes in the tank to plug, What locktite to use and review the wiring. I also give you guys the first listen to how quiet the Endo-CVT is.

Having a manual car with a parking brake that slips is no fun. In this video we go over adjusting the parking brake. Total job takes about an hour from Start to finish and is low difficulty.
This video can be used for Challengers, Chargers and I believe 300s as well.
