Yes, thanks for the clear answer. I had done some more research after posting the question and I guess my inexperience is showing. It looks like the next step is figuring out the best way to compare the different possibilities. If anyone is willing to share their experiences with upgrading...

Hi all, I've apparently blown my turbo. I took it as a sign that maybe I need to upgrade to a bigger size. Can anyone point me to a reputable site that sells a kit for upgrading to the type R turbo? Would a kit make sense with my build or would I need some other upgrades/engine infrastructure...

Good tips, thanks everyone. -So I'm going to have the car detailed and waxed. -Oil change, fluid top off, and add an extra PSI or three to the tires. -Add fuel stabilizer, drive for a few miles to get it through system, top off the tank. -Disconnect the battery because I don't even want to...

I have to put my SI in storage for 3 or 4 months and will not be able to drive it during that time. The car will be garaged, and the temperature will be relatively stable. In general, I'm looking for tips. Specifically, will disconnecting the battery affect the tune I have loaded? What...

How many of you all have named your car? Its something I've always done. My SI's name is Saber, because she's sharp and quick. What about yours? Add a pic so we can put a name to the face! This is Saber at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39B with Artemis I photo bombing-

Hello has anyone tried applying a light film cover on chrome? I have installed a self-adhesive film on my fog lights and I'm happy with the color. I would like to maybe put that same film over the chrome "H" on the stock wheels. Has anyone tried this before? How did it turn out? Wondering about...

Great thanks everyone, good conversation! So from what I'm seeing with adding a front pipe my setup would be considered by most as full bolt on. I guess now is the time to figure out next steps. The jump between stock and my current setup was significant. Might be hard to get that jump again haha!

Hi all, I've been talking with a few folks about my recent mods (thanks Santa!) and the topic of FBO came up. The people I've talked to each have a different idea of what that means. Is there some standard list of stuff or is everyone's definition different? What would be on your list to be...

Thanks for the response. I imagine the heat dissipation of the blanket material helps quite a bit as well keeping the temperature planes (hot exhaust versus engine bay) separate.

I was recently looking at thermal blankets and heat reflective materials. after a while aren't these materials vulnerable to heat soak just like everything else? Do they have much better thermal dissipation to offset the heat soak? I can understand them having an effect up front, but as the...

Whew did a few things to the girl today! Put on tail light tints, that was delicate work. Got some scratch remover. That Maguire's stuff with the power drill pad worked wonders! got all the fingernail scratches cleaned up behind the door handles. Changed out the license plate frame, the dealer...

I got mine in July this year for ~27.5K with about 10K miles on her, including exhaust upgrade and window tint. I know that if I looked around a bit more I probably could have found one for an even better price or better miles- but this one, she spoke to me haha! Mine wasn't certified...

these charts are insane! did you get these from some proprietary software or offline source? I would like to see stuff like this around me, I live in hurricane country near a river, info like this could help me make evacuation decisions. If this is publicly available could you share the...

So I used Plasitdip to get the badges and emblems on the front and back. Super easy to use even if you've never done it before. Plenty of youtube videos to show how its done, and it can be bought in your local auto shop or even your big box stores. I recently posted my results from the chrome...

Got the side marker tint on as well as the chrome delete kit. Both products from Crux Motorsports. Very happy with the results!

Very helpful, thanks! I'll give them a call when I have a chance-

I will probably end up doing this, maybe even brush on some Plastidip I have left over from the emblems and badges. If I can convince my wife I'll eventually upgrade the rims. I hear these stock rims are pretty heavy...

Thanks, I appreciate you and everyone else's responses here. Very happy to have found a good community!

Thanks for the help, I'll try to find one local to me. The other question still stands, is there a good resource out there to walk me through a comprehensive cleaning/detailing regimen? I want to treat this car like it deserves, not like the old grocery-getters I've had in the past haha

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while, getting awesome tips and tricks to really make my SI stand out. For that I am grateful to everyone here! Anyway the other day I noticed a scuff on my driver side rear rim. I'm certain it wasn't there when I bought the car, and I'm absolutely sure I...
