The 18x10.5 et 47 are the best choice imo. Wider wheel for more rubber for heat tolerance and keeps the offset close to factory setup for inside clearance, torque steer consistency, and steering feel. Based on some measurements I did, I think a 285/30/18 will fit well and provide a 2% tighter...

They should just move the whole production operation to Mexico. If vw can manage to churn out consistently well put together cars from Mexico, then Honda should too. I mean, like half the parts on the car are already stamped Mexico, so might as well just move it all closer there. I priced out...

Well, my rattle and build quality woes are continuing in the unfunnest of ways... To date the car has less than 700mi and so far I have: A window/gasket clicking/ticking that is loudest on the driver door, but now occurs on all doors and seems like the hatch as well A ticking from the steering...

With kc potholes, I can't stomach the idea of doing 19s in the winter months. We also just get sucky ice a lot, so all seasons are out. I had great luck on my gti with the vredstein wintrac pro. Decent ice traction and they actually drove like a performance tire, just in winter... And with...

Someone just needs to make a replacement one that increases the sizing of the opening, adds a couple layers of proper fins, and includes a wicker so that it's actually effective. The factory part works, but there's a lot of room for performance improvement. I might just reach out to verus or...

Yeah... Out of all the build quality issues with these cars, this is one of the lower priority ones, but it definitely brings and air of cheapness to the car. This helps a little, especially since the back of the fob scratches if you do so much as look at it, https://a.co/d/dwsQXtO

So is anyone aware of an 18x9.5" wheel with a 53 to 60mm offset? I see apex has a flow formed and forged option, so that's two, but I haven't seen any other options out there... Has anyone else?

IME narrowmindedness is generally driven by lack of understanding and knowledge.

Having options is just generally lovely.

Agreed, I'm always interested in the data that can be retrieved after the fact. I've had to collect data on track before, and often times with a laptop I'm required to have a passenger to hang onto the thing and click buttons at the right time. It's been pretty annoying, especially when I've...

Depending on who you talk to, the lack of phone app can be a huge positive. I trust a dedicated device that serves a specific function over my phone any day. I've had bad luck with phone connections to serial devices like obd2 readers and with every generation of phones there's increasing...

I just wish it would stop buzzing at every rpm and rate of speed, lol. Yeah I felt tape to the curve and that didn't seem to help entirely. I have a feeling it may need to be done down the back edge side as well, but haven't gotten to it.

Yeah I'm curious what you find as well. This noise came out of nowhere and got really bad really quickly for me. I can't go over a single bump or even shift the car without it ticking. Granted, even more noises have popped up with buzzing from inside the door, around the infotainment (again)...

Under the gasket where it touches the body on the door. That's where it's sticking and making noise.

I think I actually developed this rattle today 😔. Or a similar one. I opened the window and found I could replicate the noise by lightly pressing the gasket. It seems to "stick" to the body and that repetitive motion while driving makes it "tick" and rattle. I tried some felt tape and it...

Oe pads are designed to be a compromise of stopping power, dust, and cost to fit most drivers. Aftermarket pads are going to make tradeoffs in those three areas. No pad is going to stop better, dust less, AND cost less. It just doesn't work that way. Prioritize what's important to you and buy a...

Yeah when I was detailing the car initially I found MANY areas of poor paint application. Some areas are a solid mil thinner than others on the same panel, some have paint defects under the clear coat, dust under the paint and/or clear, and even areas where the paint under the clear gassed out...

I didn't, but I took one for you. It's worse in person than it seems in photos.

You could also forward your traffic to something like opendns and have them do filtering for you. Outbound filtering for everything is the future. Precisely for these reasons, because even in larger enterprises, we're dealing with vendors that have their own third parties and they don't know...

Google and apple are watching you and your driving habits at all times anyway because there's a 99.99999% chance you're using Google maps or Apple maps on your smartphone. That's part of how all the traffic data they have populates beyond just satelite telemetry. I agree with your assessment...
