1st doesn't like to be downshifted to in this car unless you're going under 10 mph.
If you have a situation where you are going 45 in 4th then have to slow to about 12 mph, I'd downshift to 3rd, downshift to 2nd and then gently accelerate in 2nd because your rpm's will be low at 12 mph in 2nd...
I have the OEM CF console, I've had the OEM CF wing, and now have this Ebay knockoff and also have some create carbon CF pieces. The wing in your picture is genuine.
I feel like tensions are running high because for a lot of people this feels like it might be the last chance to find an exhaust they really like for this car.
It does look pretty amazing.
You can check with the Japanese vendors and email with some of the domestic retailers and see what they can do for you. Then go with the best overall deal, taking into consideration the fact that there are obvious advantages in going through a domestic vendor even...
Is this from Ebay? looks like this one.
Is the fitment good? I'd do the APR cooling plates but a lot of people have issues with closing the hood with it installed.
Update:
Bad news: it definitely affects the coolant temps and car was not cooling like normal.
Good news: I got myself about 2mm of clearance now and temps are much better.
Does anyone else have the PTP hybrid turbo blanket with the PRL titanium inlet pipe? Had mine installed Friday and the blanket is making direct contact with the inlet pipe which can't be good for my intake temps. Not sure what to do about it, what do you guys think?
I live close and I've never been to a track event before so it would be cool to see. Once this car is paid off and I'm debt free, I can go into more debt for a daily driver, and I'll feel a lot less nervous having fun in this car.
