I’m in southwest Ohio, which doesn’t see huge amounts of snow on a regular basis. I’m lowered on Eibach pro-kit springs, and I picked up some Sparco FF4 18” wheels and some Pirelli all season tires off Tire Rack. Car was perfect last winter, but I obviously didn’t take it out when we had like 8”...

sheesh! CLEAN.

it seems like they’re both pretty equally wide angle. It’s taken a few drives to get used to them, but I like them so far.

Found a set of brand new Mugen mirrors semi-locally. Met up half way to make the deal, and they were installed later that night. Took about 15 mins per side, super easy. Glad I was able to find some secondhand, I’ve wanted these mirrors for a while but didn’t want to deal with the tariff...

You pretty much nailed the reason I went with a catback. I’m holding off on a downpipe and the necessary tune until after I’m closer to the end of my warranty. I may not even do it in the end, to be honest…but the stock exhaust bores me…

I have the stock exhaust, but I just ordered an Invidia R400...I figure I'd rather get used to drone/rowdiness than be disappointed with quiet...lol

Same. Mine is mainly for keeping it pretty tame while cruising around on the highway with the family or in areas of higher police activity, but with the ability to be a menace when I want to.

I'm on the exhaust hunt, as well. One of the biggest items you need to figure out with a cat back is if you want to retain the factory exhaust valve or not. Price points are all over the place, too...especially when you consider some of these systems don't come with a front pipe.

Had some free time and got the RMM knocked out. Getting the car in the air in my backyard took longer than actually swapping the RMM (ramps, jack, jack stands). I can see why folks that have a front pipe have more issues, though. Did a quick “around the block” shakedown and the difference is...

Not serious unless it comes back, which is why it's pending...it's waiting to see if it throws that code again. I think the evap stuff is usually related to leaky gas caps/fuel filler necks, etc. I dealt with an intermittent one on my wife (and eventually son's) Equinox. I'd recommend clearing...

That's just something a scammy dealer will say to make sure you always come to them if your CEL comes on.

Do you have anything to pull codes? I haven't experienced it myself, but I've heard you can have a soft code (i.e. no CEL displayed) that could cause the loss of the pops & bangs.

I may use that approach when I just do a bleed...but a full flush would have been a pain in the ass pulling the cap off the MC every time. Or, maybe I'm just lazy. 😄

I love the aesthetics of the Rays lugs, have them on my winter set up (as I still use the stock wheels/tires for summer). Unfortunately, two of my floating collars are cracked now (just realized when I switched to my summer set up last weekend). Not sure why, I didn't impact them on, I used a...

I got the CTA Tools 7030 cap from Amazon. I was able to remove the hose from the cap that came with the Motive and cram it onto the CTA cap with a hose clamp to hold it tight. The cap is a pain to get on and off the MC (double o-rings), but honestly that's what you want for a cap that'll be...

OMG I thought I was the only one that ever did this (allegedly)

Swapped out for Motul RBF600 today. Went ahead and put my summer wheels/tires (stockers) back on in preparation for Wake the Dragon next weekend. Just shy of 15k miles, just over 1 year of ownership. Motive bleeder made it super easy! Before: After:

I’m de5_dad on IG and I’ll be down there tent camping at the resort Fri-Sun for Wake the Dragon.

I went with the Hawks because they seemed to get pretty good reviews on this forum. I considered EBC, Paragon, and Project Mu, too. Hard braking for bed in seemed really good. Around town they feel about the same, but time will tell. I need to clean my wheels to see how the dusting is.

Rear brake upgrades done last night. Paragon 350mm rotors, Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, and Wunderladen slide pin bushings. Just bedded them in last night, so too early to give a full review. To be fair, I was mostly chasing the aesthetics, but this should be a pretty bulletproof set up moving forward...
