This is that bullshit, right here. I ran into similar eye-opening remarks from my dealer yesterday. First, I figured I'd just ask if they'd be willing to flush the brakes with different fluid, or even install an aftermarket exhaust. I could hear the confusion audibly on the other end of the...

Think I'll try the helmet-cam first. I've watched a few of Zygrene's videos and this view seems great:

I'm digging the location of the camera. Just knowing myself, it seems like more effort than I'd be willing to manifest to procure the pvc, cut it to length, and "install" it every time I head to the track or autocross... I may explore some other options.

Yeah I'll probably end up getting that at some point too. I just didn't want to bite off more than I can chew with the install.

Yeah, I won't try to argue that it's worth the cost over something like a PRL or aFe, but if I'm spending the money I may as well like how it looks. I expect it to sound cool too, otherwise I'm not expecting a hugely noticeable increase in power, even though the claims of ~20whp and ~15wtq...

I decided what intake I wanted, and bought it- Infinity Design. I was toying around with getting the Eventuri or GruppeM- almost settled on PRL or Armasped- but this one looks better than all of them IMHO, and according to this semi-scientific YouTube test, outperforms them all. I intend to try...

No, it makes sense at a conceptual level. Also, thanks for the detailed write up of your track impressions. Definitely feels validating to know that my sentiments are pretty much echoed by someone with true track experience. So now a more practical question- should I just bite the bullet, not...

Looks like I'll need to add changing/bleeding fluid to my to-do list for this car, which is EVER-GROWING. So now @Victorofhavoc, explain to me like I'm 4 years old the difference between camber-correcting ball joints and a roll-center adjuster? Whiteline makes each for these cars. Also looking...

Yes of course we can. What I actually don't understand is how some people can hold grudges because they disagree on ONE topic. That's insane. But also- here's some actual evidence to back up some of the contrary points. See! I'm not close-minded enough to ignore scientific evidence that happens...

First of all, I want to make it clear that I do get irritated at a few known things. Another way to describe this is a "pet peeve". I don't get irritated when people do things to their cars that I wouldn't necessarily do. But I DO get irritated when they try to push their "theories" on others...

We've been through this, but for reciprocity's sake, modern engines and the oil that lubricates them are literally "built different" than they were decades ago when changing every 3k miles was a thing. I know some people get antsy about going so long between oil changes and anyone is entitled to...

People have different philosophies about paying for things like forged wheels... it's not a life-changing amount of money, as long as you're not being completely irresponsible get what makes you happy.

I'm in Maryland too, it doesn't snow enough here to justify winter tires but it does stay cold long enough to easily justify all-seasons. Only thing I'll mention about Enkei is that I don't believe they offer forged wheels, but I could be wrong. Not the biggest deal in the world, it's not like...

Yeah those are real nice. Personally I just like the look of 19s on this car otherwise I probably would have got me a set of CE28s. I just posted in another thread that the only "negative" about Volks and other Japanese forged wheels is that you're probably going to end up paying import...

I'm not to the point of "conscientious objection", so maybe someday.

I don't think you'll find many folks who'll have regrets. I think that if you're inclined to tune the car, you should probably go for it. What I will point out is that there are at least some folks (okay, at least one...) who aren't interested in a tune at all. And not for warranty reasons...

Where I'm fighting the car is mostly mid-corner and some corner exit, literally feels like the car just wants to keep going straight despite the wheels turned in whatever direction I'm trying to go- but to your point it's also almost surely induced by barreling into the corner too fast and/or a...

So what I'm reading is my tires are probably toast then lol. Might as well post the runs I'm talking about. I don't think I ran this course particularly well; and the reason I say this is my times did little to improve throughout the day. Sometimes a course speaks to you, sometimes it...

I saw this article that sold me on the Nankangs: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/why-is-nankang-is-going-all-in-on-the-sportnex-crs/ Apparently they've been revised somewhat recently and at least in that comparison test fared very well against two of arguably the best tires out...
