Totally with you on the dealership experience. For me, warranty work EXCLUSIVELY. I think I'm even done with the free maintenance. My own personal experience is enough to realize that Audi and BMW both are just on a different level of dealership experience. Acura is Honda with free coffee.
I...
I'm aware of your thoughts on the ITS build quality and how that has put a severe damper on your overall ownership experience... but I've gone back and forth on the G80 several times myself. I've definitely gotten over my revulsion to the aesthetic, I actually don't mind it all now and think it...
Great feedback. I'm not crazy- and I'll have to give those cars another shot.
The use is just the thing- I can't really justify a set of dedicated HPDE tires knowing my current habits of planning on as many as 3 events per season, but ending up doing 1 or none. Autocross is definitely far more...
What do those VQ's make on a dynojet stock? I haven't had hardly any seat time in a z/G3x, but primarily that's because I was actually severely disappointed when I first drove one with the power. I didn't hoon on it, but the G35 I drove felt anemic just driving around on a test drive. Anything...
I'd vastly prefer if the RX-7 was its own thing, even if it was upmarket to compete with Vettes and 911s (maybe not 911s because they're just way too expensive these days). And it would be an absolute delight if it remained a rotary just modernized (and god forbid reliable?). But whatever, if it...
I'll chime in once again that whatever difference in steering feel/torque steer for shifting offset by 15mm is easily negated by the aesthetics.
Which is to say it's noticeable, but barely. Not enough to classify as "adverse" in pretty much any objective scenario. It's not something I think...
It would have to be a big rock lodged in there for a really long time to cause permanent damage. The bigger the rock, the less likely it gets stuck.
But yes, this shit is pretty annoying when it happens.
I went as far as -3.5 primarily based on Zygrene's and others feedback, and my own anecdotal evidence that the tires really just want to pull themselves right off the rim. My theory is that if I notice any detrimental effects I have the rest of the life of these PS4S to use as a barometer before...
Recently got around to doing some springtime mods in preparation for the fun season. Previously I had installed Eibach Pro-kit springs, and was pleased with the aesthetics from the drop but was quite disappointed in the increased understeer introduced from the additional rear camber vs the front...
If only Mazda would step up and give the Miata some company. Because while I won't disagree, "nice" can sometimes mean "boring". I bought a Mazda3 for my son and that thing was truly a "nice" car- far exceeded my expectations for what I was buying it for- as a first car for a new driver. But an...
Most of the stuff I see regarding SRF is that it's generally fine to flush once a year unless you're a hardcore track rat. Obviously a pure race car use case is going to be different.
I just had my fluid swapped out a few weeks ago for SRF, and I only notice a slight difference in pedal feel on...
If you're going to go 10.5, absolutely. I've heard it doesn't rub but the camber will ensure it doesn't. Your grip will be insane.
I'm curious to see how -3.5 will affect tire wear, but others have reported that it's still not enough to have a huge effect. Toe is what will chew through your...
Sorry I had fully intended on getting out and taking pics but the day got away from me and now it's very clearly dark. Tomorrow I'll try again!
But I went with EVS tuning. Slightly different design than the Whitelines, but ultimately I can't say one is superior to the other. The EVS tuning give...
Sadly the noise Vic fixed is not the same noise that's been plaguing me and many others.
There are many threads on this topic, it's pretty prolific on this platform. Mine I think is a little bit worse than most and honestly may be something else entirely, but the video linked in the first post...
This is a NICE ONE. I love it...
But is it too much to ask for you to get the center caps? Seriously, I love the car so please don't take this as me hating on anything whatsoever about it... but it's like nails on a chalkboard for me to see this perfect car and amazing wheels... without center...
I admittedly tuned out a bit on this issue because I had my own dealer experience that helped me arrive at the conclusion I'm at now, where ultimately I just re-reset my expectations and just gave up on expecting the dealer to fix this issue, or even acknowledge its existence. Also my issue...
Have you bought one yet?
I mean, I get it. If you stretch your budget to buy this car and your soul leaves your body every time you hear a buzz in the dash, then I'm not saying your disappointment is unjustified. It happens in the Porsche forums ALL THE TIME- the occasional dentist buys a 911...
