I've seriously thought about buying some of those things. It's the freaking end of the world if I drop my phone down there and it isn't attached to a charger to fish it out with.

We all feel your pain bro, once any object plummets down the abyss. FYI the one for the passenger side doesn't fit as well, so I would recommend just getting one for the drivers seat.

The ones I got were kinda spendy, but I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives.

Will do! Thanks!

Yup, just tipped 50k. As of three weeks ago, I've had the car for two years.

Today I'll be picking up a couple of filters and changing the oil. Motul 8100 this time, as the local shop didn't have any 300V in stock. She'll also get a touch-up cleaning (got her washed on Wednesday) so she'll be all pretty for S3 tomorrow.

Yezzir!

New rack, just needs to be carpeted:

Before:
[ATTACH]83509[ATTACH]

After (the LOC and blue RCA will be tucked somewhere):
[ATTACH]83511[ATTACH]

Is that a ported 12?

I'm jealous, but I use my trunk too often. I had a 15" in my last car.

I have a 10 with a corner box now. Haven't hooked it up though. Trying to find a new HU I'll be happy with. Hoping my amps will fit under the trunk liner.

No, its sealed, about 1 sq ft inside after sub displacement.

The space it consumes isnt so bad after this new rack, it takes probably 40% of my space, and I still have the ability to put the backseats down and fit a large item if I need to.

I used to have a really loud system when I was 17-18 but nothing since then. This single 12 is more than enough bass, it hits harder than I thought was possible from a single 12 in a sealed box. It allows me to keep the gain low so the amp never even gets warm.

Finished the carpeting today and elevated the amp for better cooling

New wheels installed.
255/35R18 DW on 18X9.5 +40 TE37SL. Meaty square setup.
and did a new alignment at AZP install.

Cambers are -1.9 front, -1.7 rear.
a little bit toe in rear(+0.08) and a tiny toe out (-0.01)front.

The car handled like an animal !!!
I love it and it is sooooo much better than my last setup and the factory setup.

The 255 DW tires are not too wide at all.

The weight is 23lb for every tire and 18lb for every rims.

So there is only 41lb at every corner, which is even lighter than factory 41.5lb 215 setup.

Had a blow out on Friday.

WHO THE FUCK KNEW REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR THESE FUCKING CARS WERE SO GODDAMN EXPENSIVE?!

$190 for these piece of shit Primacy's. Its still cheaper than $500 for a set of something that doesn't gargle sweaty monkey balls, but I am fucking CHAFFED to have to shell out for that.

dbrandt01 · 06-30-2014, 02:23 PM

Filled up, got my best MPG of 30.6
According to Fuelly.com and hand figuring it came out to the same numbers.

Freude am Fahren · 06-30-2014, 02:23 PM

Could have gotten a lot of high performance tires for less. I thought the stock tires were cheap, like around $100. Must have gone up.
