To clarify, I was more talking about the interior cabin NVH; Lexus is a pretty good benchmark based on past experiences; they tend to prioritize a very quiet cabin at the expense of driving dynamics. The ITS is the other way around, but NVH still isn't that bad as long as your expectations are...

I know the sense of what you're trying to convey with overall build quality, but the sticky steering issue is not relevant to the Type S, as others have mentioned. It's tough to make this correlation to someone considering a Type S. Also as others have noted, you're not going to find a large...

I tried to find it, but I've heard it's square spring rates at 4kg/mm, same as the CTR. Might want to validate that somewhere else because as I said, I can't, so here's my nearly worthless post of the day.

What a world we live in where this is a problem worth its own thread.

I've stayed away from Cquartz over the years because most of the products I've found required "professional application"; i.e., screw up and you'll be learning how to wet sand. Unless they've added a more consumer-friendly product, CQuartz doesn't seem like a good DIY recommendation.

You need not worry about that. I left an entire ~1' x 3' spot on my RS5 when I applied a couple years ago, left it on there for a few days before I noticed; all I had to do was re-apply the coating, buff it in and wipe with a clean MF towel and it was GONE. And it wasn't that noticeable to begin...

Significantly more expensive than wax, but just as easy to apply. https://ammonyc.com/products/ammo-reflex-pro-ii-enamel-coat There are many options out there, but I've used Reflex Pro several times and had amazing, long-lasting results. I haven't used the new Reflex Pro II solution yet but...

Eventuri or Gruppe M... guess it depends if Eventuri can finally get theirs to market before I'm ready to spend $1200, they've teased it since November. Lots of folks may scoff at $1200, but try owning a Porsche for a while. A $1200 intake is hilariously inexpensive when an inconel full exhaust...

I grew up in the 90s too, and I could give two shits if it's an "S" or an "R" sticker. What I do care about is styling, engineering, and tuning. For these two cars, the difference really only lies in styling and tuning. Watching Zygrene's vid of the FL5 in the canyons made me confident in my...

It's a nice kit but the price is pretty steep. I totally get why; they're not gonna sell this in volume and they have to run a business. This is a nice middle ground as you say for folks who don't want to go all-in with a custom solution. I think that's where I'm headed though. For the first...

Didn't actually expect a response, just wanted an excuse to post one of the funniest gifs of all time.

There weren't enough threads on this topic already? Who in their right mind would do this? If you already have a Type R, you probably paid ADM for it, and would be like flushing thousands of dollars down the toilet just to get a car that subjectively might look and feel slightly different from...

You actually can't buy a new m240i in a manual, and you should compare an M2 to an ITS, because the ITS is a better driver's car.

You guys keep talking about "coverage"... Wtf are you guys doing in your cars? lol. I guess it's important if you're frequently sloshing mud everywhere or have a high volume of spillage events; that's not relevant for me. I do prefer all weather mats for the occasion I drive my car when it's...

I doubt it's been wind tunnel tested for hundreds of hours.

Tuxmats seem nice, but something about aftermarket floor mats reminds me of Pep Boys. Plus the OEM mats say Type S on them. IMHO there's nothing wrong with the OEM mats.

I'm sure the M240i is a great car, but for my purposes it was never even a consideration. The ITS is on another level with driver engagement. I'd probably say the M240 is on another level for a luxury tourer experience, if that's what you want. Your car history implies that you'd love this car.

Yeah- installation is probably the only thing really holding me back TBH. I can't seem to find a solid shop, although admittedly I haven't tried very hard... I've only had the car since July and decided to stay stock until spring. I've gone through IAG for my Subaru, and TPC for my Porsches in...

I'll very likely be upgrading to Ohlins as soon as I get a spare $3k lol.
