edit- I did a little more digging, and while the sources are still anecdotal and veer hard towards sensational, there may be something going on with this.
I'm going to spend some more cycles on this, and hold my judgement until then.
I'll give the caveat that I only watch/listened for as long as I could stand.
But all I heard was a bunch of half-murmured pearl-clutching "hrrbrrrhrrr this is UNACCEPTABLE", and no actual validation that this data IS being used BY insurance companies to determine premiums. Just a whole bunch...
God dammit. Those Recaros are very nice and actually do match the interior quite well.
I was also looking at Bride but I think the Recaros look more promising... now what else is involved? I'm sure there's not just a direct bolt-in installation; I know they make rail kits and hopefully it's as...
I edited the original post, Apex notified me they shipped yesterday. It would have been nice to get just a bit more communication from them but I can forgive a one day slip on the estimated ETA. They'll be here next week.
But there still are so ridiculously few options! And now honestly I've...
Yeah and I swapped Continental all-seasons onto my OEM wheels and noticed a significant downgrade too, so most of what you're experiencing is probably attributed to tires anyway.
Not to diminish your feedback (maybe just a little- "but I said with all due respect"), but this is the first I've heard this complaint.
I understand seats are very subjective so I'll provide context. I'm 5'11" 180, fit but not necessarily thin (not fat either, ~11% body fat) with "broad...
Good point. I've decided I don't want them (call me superficial but the embossed Type R does it for me) but that is indeed a very worthy option.
edit- just saw your ninja edit regarding the scrub radius. I may end up feeling differently once I've experience the wheels actually on the car, but...
Anybody else notice the hilarious lack of inventory for virtually any wheel in the size that fits our cars? When I say "fit" I am implying the typical aftermarket offset of ~+45. I considered doing a more aggressive fitment because there are a few available in +22 to +34, but decided that's not...
Never seen that before, but it looks like it could be corrected if it bothers you enough to be without the car for a few days.
I had the glue on a piece of molding come loose on a 2016 S3, looked like absolute crap but the dealer told me it could take as long as a week to repair (after the...
The seats are only a point of contention because they're not the Type R seats.
Seriously, no one would be having this conversation if there wasn't the Type R being a blindingly obvious comparison, the seats being the major differentiator.
As with most subjective topics, you will get a variety...
Seems all too familiar to the infamous "wastegate rattle". Yours is interesting though because it's under acceleration, mine and what seems like most others experience this while on partial throttle maintaining speed.
Probably the largest thread on this topic on here, but not the only one...
It's a great color, and doesn't look terrible when it's dirty, I've had far worse colors (black) for that. Some say silver wears dirt best but I don't see it. A dirty car is a dirty car- unless it's black.
But yes also I like to keep my car as clean as possible, and a good coating definitely...
Tesla is not a good comparison. They've been slashing prices because of all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is to appease the board because it simulates the idea of "growth".
Also they're pieces of shit and I hate them.
