Sweet! Some new parts coming from Overland Designs soon to test out. Already got 2 (one black and one red) of their cool alcantara shift boot complete with OEM trim assembly for easy install.

I like your posts, but rarely read them because you keep sending me to FB.

I assume you're trying to grow a business, but idk. It just seems like spam.

it's because we keep all content in one place. it's become a library of resources, education, and how-to's with search function. we started it about 3 months ago to consolidate knowledge source into one place.

vendors and product companies are sponsors to provide eval products for review, testing, and feedback. some offer discounts or group pricing exclusive to the fb group.

we're approached every week now with new products to try out and turn away quite a few of them for various reasons namely we have a team of 5 ctr owners and not everyone has time, ability, or want to install certain things.

also, with over 1000 members now after just 3 months - any member can write review, constructive feedback on vendors (good/bad/indifferent) to keep them on their toes, etc. vendors find feedback helpful because they will actually get rated in the future with 1-5 stars.

we don't make any money. we just provide content and help members find products and instructions we create for free.

which color did you get?

one of my team members did the black with red stitching and made the video. mine is coming next week in red with black stitching to replace the test red suede i did back in march.

couple other new products they're making for me should be coming in 2-3 weeks to try out and review as well...should look nice!

Ready for the cooler weather!




Also needed an alignment after all those potholes I hit...

Are those 35 profile? How do they compare to the stock Contis?

Are you planning on throwing your stockies back on when the weather warms up? Or were they pretty thrashed anyways?

Yep, they are 245/35/20. They feel noticbly different than the stock OEM - the steering is a bit more floaty - but I expected it considering I won’t be on skates when the temps start dipping into the 40s.

Not sure what I’ll do when the weather warms up - may get a pair of Michelin PS4S summer tires, the stock Contis were good but they were at 5/32 tread life at 7100 miles so I may try the Michelin’s next season.

I’m satisfied though, especially with that extra sidewall - bumps don’t feel as murderous as before.

Just some small touches and the intake.

Thanks to inzenskin in Toronto for the great work!

I ended up getting the black w/ red stitching. I really didn't have much of an option in terms of color since I drive a PMM, all red would be a bit much and the blue stitching was a no go. You have a link to that video?

Rear passenger brake light went out today

here's the promo video we did for overland. it's posted on our IG:

Between yesterday and today, installed the acuity pedal spacer and overland designs shift boot. Pretty happy with both and installs were simple.

I had NT03RR installed - 18x9.5, +45 offset. 265/35 R18 Conti DWS 06 All Seasons. Tire guys commented that the wheels needed very little weight to balance. Black lugs, black wheel weights.

From my hand scale, they're definitely lighter than stock wheels/tire. About 10 pounds or so.

Here are some crappy pics - when I clean my car, I'll upload pics to the wheel thread. I think the width is just about perfect.

Ride is definitely softer - I haven't had a chance to attack many corners yet, but torque steer when going in a straight line is about the same as stock.

No Rubbing!

Do you have a weight for the rim+tire?

Sorry it took me a while to respond. 44.6 lbs. vs. 51 lbs stock. I think the winter rubber is pretty hefty. I believe the wheels alone were about 19lbs ea.

Made a new shift knob.

Had a custom sticker made for the center caps on the wheels. I think it came out pretty good. If anyone likes it I can hook you up.
