Disabled fake engine noise and cleaned steering wheel with Sonax. That shit works - but their application suggestions are trash - instead of spraying foam right on the wheel - spray a bit on the brush and brush it in - much more consistent even application. Made the red a lot more red / restored it and the black is better as well. Feels a lot better too.

I love alcantara steering wheels but I hate that aspect of it - guess it's just the one drawback to them but having it on the RS3 and this car has won me over. I may get one for the M2 because of the pleasant grippiness while driving.

Track day tomorrow!

P.S. Love the car without the engine noise piping in, wasn't that aware how prevalent it was but it sounds much more smooth and no buzzing going on.

Ran some errands. After several days of rain, still pretty wet. But it had been a while so some spirited driving occurred and the car handles like a champ even on wet asphalt. Granted, wheel spin 1-3 lol

Wizard level mod, very nice! Takes balls to take the seats apart and reassemble so well.

When I had my MK7 GTI, I saw one guy take Recaro Sportster CS seats apart and run heating coils through them before installing. The process photos gave me anxiety but, like yours, the result is impressive.
I was definitely nervous lol I feel that

Cars and Coffee at Babylon Honda this morning for their new FL5. Due to weather turnout was muted to say the least. Took my CW and my buddy brought his BB.

If anyone is interested…they are asking $20k over $45k sticker!

Just take the wheels off when they aren't looking and put them on your superior FK8.

It is the way

Is anyone else not getting alerts for new posts in here? Second time this has happened. I had to unwatch the thread and then watch it again last time. Annoying. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Yes (really best color is Rally Red since it’s fastest) but I digress.

I get email notifications on iPhone 13 Maxi-pad but no lit bell once in forums. If I click bell notifications then it shows unread posts. Signing out or rebooty no fixy, no biggie.

Happy super holiday sleigh to all! 🚗

Yes (really best color is Shadow Grey Pearl since it’s fastest and most awe inspiring color since color was refined by man) but I digress.

Nice!
Both red and gray look same if colorblind.

Reminds me of when I was going to get a tattoo on certain tender parts of, “I love you”. Decided not to when wife said don’t put words in my mouth.
