About all I have done to my car after owning it for 2 years is tinting the windows and adding subs in the trunk. I want to do something else but don't know what. I like to do things that make a noticeable difference. That 's why i wait 2 weeks to mow the lawn. Anyway, what have you done to your R that you could now never live without?

Can you elaborate on what "the sock" and Rosso's are?

Really on the tire pressure? 40.6 front and 36.3 rear Aren't both supposed to be the same on an AWD car?

What tires you running

The sock is a foam wrapping around the air filter.

14 replies and no one mentions the wastegate tweak!?

Simply the GREATEST mod ever considering the cost, effort and results.

I guess Capital R is right on the one hand but on top of other favorite mods it is hard to pick just one. The FMIC was definitely great but the IPD tune was great too. So many mods, so little time.

Is this what others are referring to as "IPD tune"? What is this?
