I definitely unplugged my soundaktor on the :mk6: but I don’t remember if it was when I did my intake for more whoosh noises or my turboback exhaust. It definitely didn’t need it once the exhaust was on. I’ll try messing with it but if I already think it’s too quiet with all this shit active, odds a...

Googling brings me to forum bros saying it's all fake. :( Well it's still "real" in a sense that it's combustion within the exhaust during decell, but modern efficiency took the natural burbles away long ago. I do kinda miss it in my car. When I went from H-pipe to the x-pipe it almost co...

Right? The car definitely burbles on its own even with the stock exhaust but it’s subtle and that’s what I thought I was hearing while driving. I thought it sounded real but I’ve never had a car that burbles so I guess at least some of it is fake.

Gave the car a wash yesterday and I was extra careful around the film. Can’t have thousand dollhair plastic film getting peeled off by a hundred dollhair pressure washer. I also poked around bimmercode some more. The burbles were a lie? :dafuq: I had no idea you could individually activate/deactivat...

New Camry just dropped …
It’s nice but not 40k nice. Toyota is off the rocker
$40k seems like the minimum for any decent car nowadays.

I don’t trust the gov with a single dollar. They have shown us over and over again they are inferior to private enterprise. So clearly public transit is a direct result of that. It will never change. It will always suck. Doesn’t matter how much you wanna grease your local politician starting to sou...

You're not a man who is looking for cheap 0FG transport and has a knack for behemoth SUVs from a bygone era with plenty of brubs. A model 3 fills a different nieche. IMO it is the easiest to use, cheapest to own EV vehicle one can purchase in the USA today. And it CAN be significantly cheaper than ...

OK i am not alone in this... I always found the claims of "shit just hoses off" exaggerated with both the car and the wheels. Coated or not. I do find that dirt doesn't stick AS much to a coated car but it may be a marginal improvement at best... and it is a bit easier to clean. With whee...

It's more to save time at the end of the day. If you can clean the :ramz: with a simple hose off, that's a win.
I have never been able to do this
Same. Even after I use the brake buster with a foam cannon and agitation, I still have plenty of dirt spots left on the wheel.

Summer mode engaged! These wheels are going to be a MAJOR pain to clean that’s for sure. New floor jack is 5/7. And it’s nice having those little adapter puck things.

No chance I would attempt to coat the OEM wheels myself. The Apex ones are simple enough though. https://youtu.be/nqox-iCRIeM?si=3xxvwfcCWJE1RjSd I used the Turtle Wax brand spray stuff and left it on really thick for the barrel and pockets of the wheels. I applied it and didn't really bother buffi...

It's not like I clean and coat the calipers every wash. I do it every time I swap ramz since the wheel is off. It'd be stupid not to.

Looks so good! Did you put any kind of coating on the :ramz: That could help make hosing them off be most of the job to clean 'em. I did but I never seem to do a good job on the ramz. Using the spray stuff seems :wasteful: to get every nook and cranny. I'll have to look for a specific wheel sealant...

As a note on sealants, the guy I sold the :gorf: to just texted me last night asking what I used on the car because it's still beading up and he wants to use the same stuff.

5 months later is quite an endorsement of the turtle wax stuff.
