I did a review on the FX3D guards and started off quite Leary of them, only wanting the mesh to stop the rocks, but found the ability to mostly hide them and still protect some paint, won me over. Company is very responsive on this forum and keep on adapting their product with the help of users...
FX3D kindly send me a version 3.1 of their Type R Rock guard and mesh kit to evaluate. I was actually very interested in the mesh and not so hyped about mud flaps on my car. I might have changed my mind! Check out my review and full install video!
Good points. In the past I've used a smart battery tender on the installed battery. I heard it is better for the battery and you don't lose electronic memory from computers in the car. I still haven't decided what to do about tires, but have found 1/2" foam adhered to plywood pieces that would...
Thanks! The tux mats (which came with my used subaru) have unbelievable coverage; just a little harder to get out to wash with the velcro and tabs etc. compared to Weathertech. Sure post a picture of the R sillplates. I had someone comment on my channel that they thought they were a little...
Hi all. I just posted a review of the Type R high walled rug mats and back cargo tray (things I was required to purchase to get my car) I also consider some of the other OEM pieces available and throw in a dad joke just for good measure.
What are you favourite accessories? What sucks?
It's not the car, it's the tires. (and history of cracking)Michelin actually has a statement that nothing to be done to them (including adding air etc) at past -7c. I live where -40c can happen in winter. $540 a piece plus installation. Every other car I've owned and stored, I've simply rolled...
I am part of the Wpg. cruise FB group. One person with same tires said (which is interesting)
"Pump the tires up to 50psi and place some interlocking mats underneath. Just drive on. The tires will sink in and leave the thread pattern indented. I have ps4s also but do it for all my cars."...
Home. My dad was a contractor and we built our current house with a double deep part where I had planned on having a storage area for a car; just took more years than I expected to get an R! From the front of the house it looks like a two car garage, but one side is twice as deep. only get to...
Got discussion going Sunday night cruise group in Winnipeg; guy suggested this :
Pump the tires up to 50psi and place some interlocking mats underneath. Just drive on. The tires will sink in and leave the thread pattern indented.
I have ps4s also but do it for all my cars.
me too. Cant buy the cheap ones, as they are too narrow for our tire width. looks to be almost 9" of contact. I think I will also pump the tires up to 45 or so. Should have thought about this sooner and looked for used on ebay or something. nows the wrong time of year to find a deal!
It sounds like you’ve done this before, but just to be sure : Don’t put the car up on jack stands. The suspension needs to stay loaded. Invest in tire FlatStoppers, to prevent flat spots. A trickle charger for the battery is a good idea too.🙂
OH, and why not on jack stands? then I could take...
Good points. Just checked. Build date is 05/24. I have always just rolled the car around a few feet every month or so. Never used Flat stoppers. However I've never had PS4+ tires.? I've read they can't move or anything past -7celcius, so I probably should get the flat stoppers. (if that's...
Just changed this thread up. #1 oil., #2 PS4S in really cold garage.
#1 I've read many threads about changing oil. Some say there is a break-in oil so don't change it til later. Others say change after break-in period. I"m about 2 weeks away from storing my R for about 6 months. I know 1yr...
Way off topic, but I just passed my 1000km break in period, and did an update to ownership on my Cool car Crap car YouTube channel.
One of the things I noted is that the auto sensing speed limit signs work well, except the little red line that appears on the dial speedometer sometimes (and I...
Just buy a high end mirrorless camera and prime lens and tape it onto your car so you can see the rainbow dials through the viewfinder! through it at the dials.. What could go wrong?
