He races red lights. It's just that it takes so long to reach it that by the time he's done getting to the 3rd light it feels like it's been 2000 miles.

Installed a new K&N air filter.

shed a tear...rock cracked windshield. Have had the car two years and no cracks...until last night. nearest car was about 4 car lengths ahead. I was going about 30ish in a 40.

Pretty cool it lasted that long though!

most times I just drive the car off the lot and get a rock chip. Roads suck down here. :/

Edinburg/Mcallen area...5hrs south of houston. Oh, btw, does your Ts have a clunky shifter? Like a grind from 1st to 2nd? I wanted to trade mine in for a Ts but the one they have here is bugging me with the tranny noise.

Yes, I have been having this issue since day 1 and I took it to one dealer per tech it's normal. Took it another dealer and they asked me leave the car for a day which I couldn't do it. Next week I may try to leave it there. I am not satisfied with that metal rubbing noise at gear shift area and sometimes shifting to 3rd which is annoying. Now I am shifting to neutral, pause, shift to 2nd - no noise at all kind of shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I want make sure whether this terrible noise is from user error or transmission.

Chuckls · 10-13-2018, 02:20 PM

my tS has none of those issues.

I drove a normal limited manual right before the Ts and it was perfect. I wonder if they installed the short shifter wrong...

Should put all added weight on passenger side as drivers side of car is already the heavier side. Just FYI

I still need to clean up the wiring... I'd like to replace those three exposed quick-connects coming out of the trunk liner with a single connector of some sort so that I can fully sheathe them.

This completes Part 2 of my silly side project.

I went with the left side because I eventually want to upgrade to an OEM Audio setup, which places the subwoofer enclosure on the right side

Also, it makes for a slightly shorter air line run, as I wanted to run the air line through the driver's side firewall grommet.

It's a Hornblasters kit. Specifically, their Conductors Special 244 Nightmare Edition.
