I ordered them January 18th and received them April 7th so that is definitely worth mentioning. They said I would get them in 1.5 months, but they got delayed or something. My brother ordered the same pads for his GR Corolla...
Endless SSM Plus from Black Hawk Japan. Took like two months to get them, but they're way better than stock and Paragon P2 pads for my spirited back road driving. The lack of brake dust is incredibly nice.
Just did mine recently and it's pretty easy. With the PRL front pipe you can get the mount out without removing it or anything and obviously the stock pipe is even easier. Might want to get a pry bar just for some leverage because you'll need to wiggle and push things around some to get it into...
The stock exhaust isn't loud enough to have what I would consider to be drone. On decel I could hear what would become drone with a cat back, but I've experienced drone enough times at different levels with different cars and engines to know this simply does not compare. Even with the TSP do and...
I don't have any drone at all with a TSP downpipe and PRL front pipe on the stock exhaust and can't recall seeing anyone else mention that. I can just hear the exhaust in sport and sport+ on the highway but yeah putting it in comfort quiets it down quite a bit too.
Installed the PRL RMM yesterday and was shocked at the relatively miniscule additional NVH it added, even with the AC on. I haven't noticed an annoying amount of extra vibration, I can just feel the engine a bit more. On and off throttle transition feels better and to some extent the clutch and...
This is funny to me because I briefly looked into trying to get an E90/92 and F80 manual before the ITS, but the lack of them on the market and the uncertainty with the engine made me reconsider. Really just wanted something with some practicality, great looks, a great manual, and ideally fun to...
The OEM pads might have had a little more initial bite but these still feel great and have held up so far on my touge runs. No squeaking or squealing on initial pedal or when I come to stop after getting them hot either, which I've had in the past with other pads. I haven't had performance...
Swapped to Endless SSM PLUS pads and swapped back to the summer set. The blue obviously looks a little wild but so far the lack of brake dust is pretty insane.
Got the optional titanium shift knob, which is just the S2000 knob, and Acuity stainless shift boot collar.
Also installed the WOT cooling plate a few weeks ago.
It's hard to tell how sophisticated the oil life monitor is in these cars, but I know some other makers like GM have a pretty solid algorithm that takes into account quite a few variables like idle time, rpm, oil temp, coolant temp, ambient temp, oil pressure, etc. to correlate fuel and...
Love my Tuxmats. The clutch pedal thing is real but I've had them in my car for several months now and I don't notice it now. Cleaning them is super easy, I just vacuum them really quick, spray a ton of P&S interior cleaner on them, and wipe them. Technically the majority of the material is a...
Oh man I want this piece BAD. Did you just message them to get it? I don't have any experience with them but I've seen some of the stuff they've made over the years.
