I find the els system to be fine. Not great or excellent but just fine. I liked the tighter punch in my gti's stock fender system. I'm curious how your setup turns out! The area where the sub is is super generous, as is the flex of the fabric board. If custom boxed you could get enough volume...

Pretty much all manufacturers use Bosch ecu so underneath they're not too different. It's just about what features they wanted to enable and how they coded the registry. It extends beyond the infotainment and ties into the entire canbus as well. Other missing things are a washer fluid sensor and...

To be fair, that wasn't from being a little low... That was flat enough to touch rim.

I like it, and I love that there's purpose to the stitching. Where'd you get this one?

Yeah they stop well from cold and they're modestly tolerant of high heat. That just guarantees they're going to dust a ton unless you move to cc. I like the bright silver wheels, but I also wonder how well they'll hide dust. The stock color should have been called "brake dust grey".

By bunch of miles do you mean 10? 😂 I kid, but the dust is pretty strong on these pads all around. They stop okay though.

After having the dt1 tire on track more I'm realizing there's a lot that goes into how it handles heat. It makes for a decent tire, but lateral grip could certainly be bumped a bit. Longitudinal braking is pretty solid in it though. After this set burns out I'll likely try the platform specific...

Glad to hear they got you sorted at least! Be glad you're not in a tesla where they tell you to go buy aftermarket or go pound sand when you need a part 😅.

Do I spy godzilla lurking in the reflections? 😅

You are absolutely not wrong that checking off a few options can make it a 100k car quickly! The extended leather package and wheels are two that I wouldn't do personally, but I can imagine others would. Yeah, don't want to get political, but our economy is slowly being turned upside right now...

I do not disagree with most of your points. I'll add the dealership experience is also a partial factor. I dropped off a wheel recently to replace a tire with a nail in it and it took them 6 hrs for one tire. When I got it back the rim was scratched up, still covered in a mountain of lube, they...

Yeah I just found it in the side section. Good call. I take my statement back... Just another nuisance. Yet another thing acura/Honda does differently that's annoying 🙄😑

That is shocking and dumb if true. I haven't seen an implementation like this on any other car I've owned. Also doesn't make sense that it would stay on 3 in my car for an hour but drop to 2 after 2mins for others.

The tool they use checks when the window rolls down, so they'd need to stop you for longer to have someone bring the larger/remote tool typically for the windshield. My neighbor bought a used a5 and his tint looks like 20 sides, 15 rear, and 50 front. It's almost limo unless he's directly in the...

Yeah I hear you. I still have over 4k in wheels and tires for my gti sitting in my garage and basement. It's a lot harder to sell aftermarket parts than people think. The only parts I got rid of quickly were the bnib ones. That said, I've once again been looking at G80 m3. I'll probably jump...

^ thanks for reminder about this thread. I had an hour drive the other day and set the passenger side and my side to level 3. I had to turn mine off when I started to cook after 15 mins with the windows open at 36F, but I watched the passenger side and it never dropped to 2 like others are...

So example of the v730, 265/35/18 runs 860 a set 275/35/19 is 1268 275/35/18 is 900 So after a few sets of tires you start to offset the cost. You also get the benefit of more torque with a shorter tire vs the 19, more inherent adjustability, and the peace of mind that if you pop one on track...

One thing you could do is request the tires to be heat cycled. The first heat cycle on rubber changes how the compound resettles once it cools and running them out to 180-200F is different from a typical autox 160-180F. It will help the rubber last longer through heat cycles. It doesn't change...

The vq37vhr in the g37 and 370z makes about 270-280whp stock. So FBO nets a decent amount. Even at 326 whp it definitely feels anemic down low. It's an engine that NEEDS to be wrung out. An around town putter it's not. That's where the its shines because of its down low torque, but the its also...

I don't like the partial cutoff line. Around my area, a hood and bumper ppf runs you 1500 to start. I did everything except for doors, hatch, and color part of the rear bumper in ppf. With tint we're talking about 4800$. I like being able to use any old rag to wipe down the front end after a...
