Re: This can only end poorly
As for hvac, I'll see if it does it again. The screen and buttons froze, but turning the knobs definitely adjusted temp even though it didn't indicate it.

Like I said, crazy simple. Just need to jack up the back end and access it.

Tried some of that Meguiar's waterless wash and wax on lunch today. I think it came out good!

add to bucket of water, drop in 3-4 microfibers, ring out, wipe, buff with a dry microfiber, as the rags get dirty grab a new one. i usually fold it over so i can use a different side each pass till the whole thing is dirty, but its been a decade since my car was clean enough to use that method lol.

Re: This can only end poorly
These are tempting depending on condition. https://www.facebook.com/share/16SjZHeEvK/
I would lose some headroom, but as I lose weight I will gain it back. I should fit without a helmet and this is a pretty good price for C7 seats. Going to be on that side of the state the last week of July. If they still have them, I might pick them up.

Back country road. Not a prepped track. Street tires. Not dot legal slicks. Cold tires. Traction issues for sure.
0-60 mph = 4.4 sec
1/4 mile = 11.7 sec

Re: This can only end poorly
Ended up ordering these: https://www.toyotires.com/product/proxes-r888r/
They come in this week. Install is on Friday. We will see if they are any better. Anything over 1/2 to 3/4 throttle in 1-3rd and I spin. And as my tuner said, spinnin aint winnin.

Re: This can only end poorly
I am hoping to get out to Pacific Raceways next month if I can. Hit a decent track and see what it really does. They have multiple test and tune nights so would be a good time to get things dialed in.

More than likely I'm going to try to get to pacific raceway for a test and tune night August 15th
Re: This can only end poorly
You totally should. I'm excited what 1/4 and 60 foot you can pull. Hopefully its a super sticky track as well.

Re: This can only end poorly
Same as factory. 285/35/19. Can't go much wider until I get different wheels and wide body kit. Might have been able to go 295 but would only be like 0.4 inches wider and would be the limit on my current rims. These will only last 5000-7500 miles or so. But I'm only doing about 3000 a year on it. By the time I need to replace them I'll do widebody and get different wheels and can go up to 345s.
Re: This can only end poorly
Stickier compounds help. I'm still on my factory all season tires. Ill likely go a similar route with a stickier tire, or maybe pick up dedicated drag strip tires.

Holy crap, those are huge. How do I make them smaller? Something I can do on BAWC or do I need to edit them on Imgur?
