I really like your car.

Really

Is the exhaust tip coloration holding up to the claim of not changing???

andrewhake

Yeah I think the part numbers are on the packaging. I will post them up once I am back at home.

So do I. The exhaust tip coloration definitely seems to hold up well. Overall the color is a little less saturated than it was brand new but that suits me just fine. The piping is way less purple than it was after initially running it in as well. I think the piping color shifts around depending on the heat, but the tip color is consistent.

It's been awhile since I have taken the car out for a serious shakedown in the rain and the car steel feels phenomenal in it with the sway bars. If anything it is even more clear just how much more close to neutral it is now. Obviously it is much easier to find the limit in the rain especially if using the throttle to get the car to turn, but now the car can so gently back itself into a corner with the right inputs. It is also much more mellow if it starts to slide under power on the exit. Again I stand by my opinion that stiffer springs in the front is the wrong approach. Understeering in the rain going downhill on the mountains is not a fun time.

My AD08Rs are fairly well worn out and they still have plenty of grip in the wet. Very impressed with them actually, just as predictable in the wet as they are in the dry. And the transition from sliding to gripping in the wet is very easy to deal with.

The W5 pads definitely take a bit of time to warm up when it's wet, but that has been my experience with any track pad. As with most track pads in cold weather at night they become sparklers until they come up to temperature, but once they warm up they are super consistent. Still amazed at how long this particular set of front pads has lasted me.

kneed moar serious shakedown vidz... been a minute since youve posted one.

andrewhake

Hooooold onto your butts, get ready to get excited party people, because I got some..

Mugen license plate bolts.



I actually picked up quite a few of these to use on my radiator cooling plate and radiator upper mounts too. I am going to get the 1x1 carbon ASM plate I since I prefer that look in the engine bay so I will probably wait for that to replace all those bolts.
