Thanks. On a related note I did find tire sponge applicators as someone suggested. I sprayed the foam onto the sponge and carefully applied dressing to each tire after a wash this past weekend. Went slowly and light this first time and so far it has worked out well. FAR less brake and road dust on wheels almost five days in. May apply more to get it shinier this weekend. Hoping to get a coat of wax on. Anyone use pinnacle? I love it. I apply with my fingers. No pad to scratch the finish and ground stuff in.

Glad the dressing tips worked out!

Never used Pinnacle but I know it's very good stuff. Not sure I like the idea of applying with fingers though. There's a lot of corrosive properties in the oils that naturally secrete from our skin. I'd rather use a clean microfiber applicator or foam pad. As long as the car is clean, there should be no "love marks" added during the application of wax.
 
I agree with T501 about the EST intake I'm currently running that setup now and love it!

Put on some new wheels today- Anzio Vision 17x75. I'm still waiting on my mechanic to install the Koni FSD's and Eibach springs have been sitting in my garage for months. Also excuse the dirty tires...
 
Nice car! It's clean.

If you're interested, I have a set of FSD's that I previously had on my 01' T5 that aren't being used. I ended up switching to Bilstein with my Eibach Pro kit. They're already installed into the oem housings per the koni instructions, one rear is leaking a bit, otherwise they ride great. I'd give em away if you want them for spare use, i'm sure roads in Maine aren't as forgiving as here in Atlanta.

Thank you! And you're right about the roads here, they're not easy on the cars here. But that would be awesome! I'm sure they won't hold up as long as I would like lol

I can tell you one of the best upgrades on my vehicle is the 15mm spacers i'm running. The wider track makes the car very neutral through hot corners and it has less brake dive and lift on throttle. Just stays flat and pulls..

what offset are those wheels? if they're the tirerack ones it's 46mm, so they'll sit very flush to tucked with the fsd kit.

They are the tirerack ones so I'll probably have to invest in some spacers. Sounds like a good upgrade.
 
Got tints today, 10% Rear and played it safe with 40% up front.
 
Today i changed transmission fluid. On picture, left is old fluid spot, on the right is new fluid spot. Old fluid have smell like burned tyre!!! So i think it is good time for change after about 55000 km! I use Mobil ATF 3309.

 
Hey, bought my Double Din Head Unit Mount from iPD USA and i am happy with the all around build quality and fitment in the dash. My problem with it is that there is a gap all around the head unit and it was way too tight to fit it in the mount so i had to shave down the sides a little bit. Anyone else have this same faceplate and know what to do?
 
Painted the trim on the front of the car, the rest will follow in a couple months.... Maybe with a front and rear spoiler....

That came out great! Thats what i was attempting to do, what paint and prep work did you use? Can't wait to see the whole car done
