I installed the DSC suspension controller to replace the ITS ADS module which I've been using since a few weeks after getting the car.

Installation took about 15 minutes, I took the bracket off the CTR ADS, and kept the brackets on the ITS ADS

I took it for a ride over a short local canyon road, up and down a local mountain and back.

+R in the canyon and loved it, seemed more sure footed and confident. no harshness nor jittering teeth as with the original CTR ADS. DCS +R is definitely more usable, even on surface streets.

ITS ADS +R mode was not very usable, ITS ADS was less harsh than CTR ADS, but still fairly harsh.

DSC Comfort on the local rough roads to/from the canyon road was much more comfortable than ITS Comfort and even, dare I say, supple?

I did not yet try DSC in Sport mode

When I came home, my wife asked me why I was grinning. I attempted to explain, but she just could not get it...

Overall I am very happy.

My 10yr old wanted to get something decorative for the inside of my car. Came across these fun little things. Blue and Yellow to match the color theme.

I had a Gundam Mochi in my 10th Gen that now sits inside of my computer on top of the GPU.

Did a rear duck bill lip and wing delete kit, and put on and my front lip. I like the look but might get the original wing paint matched and reinstalled. But looks good for now.

I think that looks sharp! Where did you get the duck bill?

It’s an oil change and transmission fluid change kind of day. Getting this done before it rains all next week.

Welp, while buttoning everything up, I forgot to put on a new crush washer for the transmission drain plug. Found the old one sitting at the bottom of the drain pan when I was disposing the old fluid. 🤦‍♂️

Bummer! I bet you can pull the plug with one hand, quickly plug the hole with a finger or thumb on your other hand, then place the washer on and quickly swap the plug back in. You should have enough fluid left in the third quart bottle to make up for whatever you loose during the switcharoo.

Yeah, I thought about trying to do that, but I'm being lazy and really dont feel like removing the stock air box again. lol

Just gonna keep an eye on it and if it starts seeping I'll put a new crush washer in then.
