Yeah I know, that is why I have the engine sound turned to comfort in individual, but I thought that also changes when the valve flap opens. So if you have set sound down, but pull the fuse you will get valve always open.

The resonators damp the sound a lot, but I also found the artificial sound further makes it hard to hear the exhaust. I have the car set to individual with same as +R except engine sound, and valve fuse pulled to minimize the artificial sound. The settings don't really allow you to turn it...

Maybe your state is different, but for CA you register for plates when you buy or finance the car, you get dealer plates and registration. Plates take like 2-4 weeks even if financed. I think it goes to the dealer first and they mail forward it to you, so call them. When you pay off the car...

Also just caught that you are the OP on that post and GD that is a lot of detail. Reminds me of some engineering reports :) Not an easy solution but the recipe is there and it "fits".

Wow, well that's interesting. I would think the floor is the same, but not 100% sure. The FK8 spare that everybody has been taking about is a 125/70R18 ET60. Functionally, the difference is the offset, but to get that offset, the wheel face sticks out a lot to get the tire inboard. This low...

If it were 4000mi, I'd think engine replacement is the only reasonable option, it's broken in long enough and some part grenaded, or it was abused. At 185 mi, something was wrong to begin. I can't imagine you could abuse a modern engine to break that early without other obvious signs (clutch...

Now only if every dealer had a SA that cared as much, we wouldn't all have bad relationships with the dealer. Your customers are lucky!

It is as not within reason as asking $5k-$20k markup. There is no rules here, might as well play ball.

This is the unfortunate case for most cars where demand outstrips supply, at least at the attempted price point. For reasons others have stated it stays that way. You can also consider test driving an FK8 or asking someone to let you take a spin in theirs, to broaden your search. I don't think...

Aw man sorry that sounds terrible. I'd probably be asking all the same questions if I were in your shoes. I hope you can get a new car off the truck in exchange. Certainly the car being in limited supply and the dealer having a hard time getting them may complicate things, but hope it works out...

FL5 has an indentation for a compact spare but it raises the trunk floor several inches if you use the FK8 kit. I'd rather not drive around full time like that with a compact so I might as well just keep a full size in the garage. I use the trunk space often as it's my daily.

I know the compact spare from the FK8 has been tested and discussed at length. But for those who went the route of a full sized spare, what wheel options are there? I replaced two tires because of a pothole and one tire was still good so I have that handy. I was considering getting the...

Somebody said something like that earlier, putting the fuse back to keep the valve open, and that didn't make sense to me. I pulled the fuse and there's an empty slot in the cover for spare fuses, I put it there. If you look at the center exhaust pipe, whether the car is on or off the valve...

Plug the fuse back in the same spot and cycle the ignition.

Sounds like I'll need to add to my list of hardware and clips to have on hand soon. Are these actual metal screws and not body clips? Clips always break and they're not cheap. On previous cars I just ended up going 3rd party. Cheaper to replace them every time than pay 5x more and breaks every...

I think @getGroyped had some amongst others. Create carbon sells JSWAN brand. Consensus seems to be most CF sellers have variable quality. OEM is the best but most $$$. Maybe AXIS is ok because it's from Japan? CarbonSixthElement was fairly good for me for the most part, but takes a long...

For other cars with purposely gimped parts, if the platform is shared it's easy to copy/paste the parts. Those usually end up with no or lesser gains. For FL5 in a lot of respects there's little to gain for a lot of common mods except for personal comfort. Considering the volume of FL5s and...

+R is fine for me even on street. Comfort is the softest id want it. Curious if people expecting DE5 or softer are coming from Lexus/Audi/BMW comparisons?

If the manual doesn't distinguish models, it is for all models in the book. If anything, the added glue/welds on the FL5 would make it easier to lift two wheels from the pinch welds, but I wouldn't do it that way. Drive up on 2x4s or if you don't want to risk it slipping out or placing it...

I would be for a SW update to disable active sound separately than everything else, or separate from the valve. It's nearly the only thing keeping me out of +R more often, other than individual I don't have to set every drive.
