Getting down 400 times is rough but getting up 400 is much more difficult 😁 I always seem to grunt louder on the way up lol.

Not at 60 yet, but hitting 40 this year and I feel it! We have about the same mods so far, but I am really not looking forward to the exhaust install. I have commissioned a co-worker $100 and pizza for that haha. I'll gladly supervise for that one.

I worked in a small repair shop for over a decade, and have been working on my own cars+friends cars ever since. In 25 years of messing with cars, I’ve never once had the pleasure of using a lift! At least I used to get a creeper to roll around on, now I’m slumming it by crawling around on a piece of cardboard or an old towel🤣.

The wheel does wear down a bit after about 4-5 months and feels less special, but I still like it. It's also cheap enough to maybe replace every few years as it's a really easy mod and makes a big difference from a 'something you touch every drive' perspective.

Does the suede wheel feel like it'll get dirty easily/soak up oils from your hand?
I have them on two cars, the key is to buy two good brushes, one medium size and one like a toothbrush. Use the alcantara cleaner from Sonax or any good cleaner, use a fine microfiber towel to rub the cleaner in, remove dirt, THEN use the brushes to revitalize the texture.

I do this every week if I daily drive or every month if not. I’ll leave the Amazon links if someone needs it.
