Thanks for decoding that. What does it mean by "Maintenance free"? Also on the topic of batteries, during my search, I came across some post of people considering replacing their lead acid batteries for lithium ion ones (Anti-gravity) as they are about a third of the weight. I think BMW uses...

great write up. my car was among the first production run i think (LCM/red) and sat in the showroom for a few weeks before i bought it in August. there were scratches when i picked it up and i probably put a few more in while trying to clean it. i tried a few different screen protectors from...

Again, great write up and instructions. Curious, without any mounting setup like what you've done, would the spare wheel/tire shift around too much just by itself? Personally, I'd be reluctant to drill through the bottom of the floor... (Maybe add blankets or some other types of padding/cushion)

It's been raining a lot here the past week in Northern CA so I've been driving my other car. I figured I'd get my CTEK charger out to trickle charge the ITS. But i'm not sure if the ITS has an AGM battery or not. The CTEK charger has a separate charging mode for AGM batteries like the one used...

I just installed the splash guards myself a few weeks ago too. You use a pushpin/thumbtack to pierce the top of the plastic pop rivet (one in each wheel well) that is already in place. One of the screws for each guard will screw into this hole. The other screws screw into the existing screw...

Great work putting that together. I was considering poaching something from BMW as well as up until recently most of their wheels used the 5x120 bolt pattern. I guess if I wanted to I could use an 18 inch wheel from my current BMW, but then it doesn't fit under the floor and neither does the...

any thoughts on a "dry" filter like one from AFE; they have one for the FL5 TYpe R? i use one of these on my BMW (N55 engine( and like the reusable nature of it, although honestly can't tell and doubt there if there is any difference in performance or sound. also, prefer dry to non-oiled due to...

the holder was delivered first before i got the base mount. playing around with it, i felt the holder's wings were just too tight and sliding the phone in and out didn't seem very smooth. i didn't like how the phone sat on the holder vs being gripped on the sides by the holder. adjustments also...

My order arrived from ProClip and I cobbled together my own setup. I had ordered the angle mount/base, 15 degree wedge, and the universal holder compatible with my Pixel 7. I was quite surprised by the sturdiness of the mount since it is essentially held in place by tension and two small lips...

Thanks for the link to that video. In the video, he removes that whole front panel with the USB ports with the side trim still attached. But it looks like just removing the leather passenger trim will expose the area behind the trim piece I'm focused on. Although It would be nice to have the...

I've had my car since mid-August; just broke 600 miles last week. It sat undriven the first 6 weeks while I waited to have PPF and tints applied. I have another car too so am selective about when I drive it.

How did you remove the vertical plastic trim piece to the right of the shifter? I bought an extra of that plastic trim piece and am planning to drill holes to fit a RAM 1-inch ball plate for use with a RAM socket, X-grip phone mount...

Those Conti DWS have good reviews on TireRack comparisons. When i was still living in the Northeast, on my BMW M235, i optioned it with summer tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sports at the time). It was my first nice, sporty car so i wanted the most/best features/performance--cars optioned with...

What size are those tires?

Kind of pricey for what is essentially sheets of plastic. I already bought, but haven't installed, the OEM splash guards yet. I might have considered it had it been available a couple of months back, but I don't like the logo/lettering on the flaps

I'll answer my own question.... I skipped the Dongar adapter since I'm using an Escort M2 dashcam that can daisy chain the RJ11 power connector from the mirrortaps to power both the cam and radar detector. I also installed the Civic Homelink mirror and jumped the yellow and red cables as well...

what mount (charging/non-charging?) do you use in addition to the base (any additional angle wedge/adapter)? i have a google pixel 7 phone; i prefer android to ios. hopefully, with Qi2 standard released and chargers coming out, future google phones will have magnets for mounting. anyway, i...

It's not the cost, (I've already spent a bunch and have invested in the RAM Mount system) but I hate to lose access to or functionality with the air vents and HVAC controls. Also, while the Proclip seems to rely on tension it still seems to use some type of adhesive strip. Would it be possible...

after this install, do you have to perform a full coolant drain and refill? or just some type of purge/de-airing cycle if needed? also, being fully aluminum, how do you see/check the coolant level. i can't seem to find any markings/gauges in any of the photos

i still haven't found a great solution and keep wanting to use my RAM X-grip. having the phone in the charging tray is not convenient as i do occasionally have to access my phone. I temporarily put a RAM mount 1-inch ball plate on the side of the center console to the right of the charging tray...
