Lay down some PPF. They sell precut kits or DIY
Doesnt the ppf adhesive cause damage to the screen? My understanding is that it can potentially rip off the pre-existing anti glare. Same reason why when you remove ppf on the outside of the car, you need to recondition the clear

I have no idea lol. I usually just blow off the dust and lightly wipe the cluster screen with a microfiber towel.

I'm guessing the gauge cluster doesn't have an anti glare coating on it, though I could be wrong. This is currently the plan though, I'm likely going to order a new lens, get it PPF'd and then I'll swap it out.

It seems pretty reflective to me, plus it's just plastic afaik.

Noticed my Acuity shifter was feeling way off and was making a lot of noise. Turned out the base bushings had come loose and was causing the entire assembly to move slightly each shift. Started from scratch and reseated the bushings. With as smooth as the shifter feels now, I can concur that it hasn’t been right from the beginning. Now I get the hype!

Serviced her, finally swapping from the OEM trans fluid to MT-90 and installing the Acuity transmission bushings. I've had both the fluid and bushings close to a year now but laziness. Didn't think it would be a big improvement because car is under 13k miles, but both made a huge difference in the smoothness of shifts.

coming up to 3rd anniversary with car

so thought i would spoil her with a nice wheel clean

easiest way to clean em??? jack the vehicle up and take one wheel off at a time

took just over an hr in total to do wheels and calipers

used cheap wheel cleaner on calipers and one of the wheels which had baked on dust and crap

other 3 wheels i used hot tap water mixed with cheap truck wash and then gave em a wipe with some spray

just way easier taking the wheel off and cleaning it then on the vehicle

piece of piss :p

Does the XDi uprated fuel line work with the Full Race HPFP? I've seen on this forum where some say it works others say it doesn't, so I'm unsure. If it does work it would make waiting for a viable solution alot easier.

Most of the installs are complete, and we're a little sure about the line so I've emailed XDI the following:

"
1) Are both ends the same on the line? Visually it's hard to tell them apart
2) Is this line rated for ethanol use?
3) We're barely getting 3 threads of engagement with the fuel rail, is this normal? Tried both sides.

Either end threads into the Full-Race HPFP just fine.
"
Will post what we get back from them. Everything else has been smooth sailing thus far *fingers crossed*

Nothing done to the car itself, but I got a new key fob cover made of Alcantara. Saw one on Amazon, but they wanted over $40 for it. Found it on AliExpress. I don't usually buy stuff from sites like that or Temu, but for less than $20 I decided to give it a try. It sort of matches the Orbitkey organizer I have with the red stitching.

Do the buttons still have a click? I ordered one off Amazon a while back and I barely felt the buttons when I pressed them
