The 6-piston caliper would be nice if it's available for purchase for a reasonable price

MY2000 and newer is Visual and Readiness Test.

If NVH is a very high priority, Powerflex insert is a good option. Since you can buy a mount complete with the bushing materials done for you, it's better to buy that when you have to remove the stock one anyway to install the insert

The maintenance reminder will adjust the fact that you don't drive much. For example, you drove 5,000 miles over 8 months. Then you decide to enjoy yourself somewhere nice for the rest of the year. The maintenance minder should be like 10 percent or so and ask you to service the car by the time...

The car already has DRL on the headlights itself. Why do you need extra DRL?

I find the camera is actually showing a foot and a half farther than what the camera says

I am surprised you didn't grind 2nd gear from doing 1-2 shifts hard, let alone feeling an actual knock/shock from shifting hard. Similar to many modern cars, the FL5 rear motor mount is pretty soft. Great for comfort, but allow too much movement for performance driving. Like others have said...

While Distance-to-Empty and fuel economy calculations on the car may adjust to your driving, they are never 100 percent accurate from my experience, especially in high loads. On some cars you can change the sample rate with a scan tool to get DTE and fuel economy readings closer to your...

What OP can do is drive until almost half a tank left, then fill 4 gallons of 100 Octane if you have access to that rather close (about 50 miles) The point of that is to bring the tank of gas back to 91. You can also use Octane calculator to help determine how much gas you need. Do not use...

I specifically asked for a flat bed when a rock cut the tire and damaged a wheel in the middle of nowhere. The car clears at stock height. A decent tow truck driver should be able to see if it's possible to get your car up onto the bed unscratched, unless you are in a dire situation. Why don't...

You pretty much answered your own question. Bed-in is not limited to mating new pads to new rotors. Do the same when you swap between your street and track pads.

In this case, you will need to watch some tutorials on how to remove the metal trim where the mode selector sits. If nothing is disconnected, then you will need to figure out why your drive mode buttons are not working. Is the Brake Hold button working at the very least?

Congratulations on your ride. Since you just picked it up, you should take it back to the dealer and let them make it right for you.

Brake fluid should be changed every two years regardless of mileage and cannot estimate if the fluid is any good with your eyes. Brake fluid needs to be changed regularly because it absorbs moisture. You can buy test strips or test pen to test water content. If you do track days regularly, you...

If you can get some sort of protection film and do all the trimming on your own, then it's not worth it. The kit is convenient since all the pieces were already pre-cut and you just need to apply it.

That's quite a bit. You will have to stick something soft on your garage door, or spend the time to find a set of lift support that will work for the car. Measure the eye-to-eye length of the stock lift support, the see if there is anything at least 3 inches shorter that work.

Lift Support (that's actually what they are called) are not universally compatible. There are many factors that affect the thickness, length and force of the lift support when the trunk is in the fully extended position as intended. How much sooner do you need the hatch to stop? Sometimes you...

Not all manual transmission have synchronizer in Reverse. Make it a habit to go into the furthest gear away from Reverse, which is 1st gear for us, then go into Reverse. That way you will not grind going into Reverse at all.

I know the timing is a little on the long side. All the things you mentioned is normal. Instead of being traditionally on or underneath the hood, the windshield washer nozzles are mounted directly onto the arm like an old Mercedes. You also change your wiper blades similar to some European...

Nothing wrong with tracking the car with just lowering springs. The most important thing to do before any track day is to change your brake fluid to high temp brake fluid such as Castro SRF or Motul 600. You will not rub unless you run wheels that sticks out too much to the point that rolling...
