    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    Just ordered one of the larger rubber pads for the rear — this looks much better than the one I tried (and added a groove to) Also thanks for all the suggestions and how you all do this I’m glad to see this thread finding the best method/solution in a way that does not leave us crosseyed

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    JACKSTANDS Yellow X marks the spot for the rear (per instruction manual) No clue on the front. I would imagine there is a lift point the middle to secure it with both wheels off the ground. I really just lift mine an inch or two to swap out wheels, this is gonna need some further investigation

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    Yes. I tested that lift point and even made a custom saddle for that suspension component. Here is the product that I used/cut up https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09245RGQQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 In the end it was so sketchy when just lifting the one corner that I abandoned ship. I...

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    Happy to do my part. Whenever I have needed something, this forum has always come through with meaningful insights and a few laughs along the way. For the ZL1 Style lift pads, I mock fit them because I did not want to commit to trimming the rocker panel (Considering upgrading to a 5BW or a C8...

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    As promised, here is a summary on how to lift your 4BW safely using pinch weld adapters and a floor jack. While this is the best method I have found so far, this is a living thread where any improvements or suggestions are always welcome. The only thing that I ask is that this particular...

    4BW A10 shift flare/hesitation 3-4 shift

    I have not had a chance to bring it in yet, but I only feel it about once/twice per drive cycle when the car is warming up. Usually if I try to recreate it intentionally, it still only happens on occasion. Best bet to reproduce it is to short shift it at like 4-5k RPM on the gas and it will...

    sorry for the delay fellas work really caught up to me this week This will be posted later today, I took all the pictures last night and it took me some time to figure out how to present my findings, but I think a PDF is be the best way (will be printable)

    Custom fabricated exhaust

    Wanted to relay the message for AWE: They need to see some more 4BW owners who are interested before they can justify a project -- to quote the rep I spoke with "The car is on our radar, should the demand present itself, we could decide to do it. That would be down the road a bit though" if...

    Magnetic Paddles by MadTrace

    I am interested to say the least. The feedback looks and sounds awesome. Do you have any more details on the part # and installation procedure? specifically - Are they a direct plug and play swap?

    4BW -- I tested 3 brands/types of pinch weld adapters, 2 sizes of rubber jack pads, and my old trusty hockey puck sandwich last week. I think that I finally found what works best for lifting these one corner at a time. It's not a perfect science, but it works for my wheel swapping/detailing...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Ceramic coated and mounted my APEX wheels. Used gtechniq CSL and am impressed with the results so far. Went on the usual Sunday cruise down to Pier Village with the squad. Ate wayyyyy too many cheeseburgers. It was an absolute blast. Paint correction, reflector tinting, and ceramic coating...

    Custom fabricated exhaust

    if the Corsa system does not happen, I am willing to bring my car over to AWE in eastern PA (if they are interested). I have been calling and writing shops all over since I took delivery of this car and refuse to give up LOL

    Custom fabricated exhaust

    Corsa just sent me this today 4-04-2024. in my opinion, their ATS-V system probably sounded the best of the bolt on options so this would be ideal :beer

    4BW A10 shift flare/hesitation 3-4 shift

    negative. I want them to put fresh fluid in and verify it is at the correct level before I unapologetically romp on the thing all summer long.

    4BW A10 shift flare/hesitation 3-4 shift

    I am still experiencing the occasional shift flare/thump from 3rd to 4th. (flare on partial throttle, thump when getting on it but not 100%) My game plan is to have the dealer look everything over and swap the transmission fluid for the warm season Does anyone know the recommended interval...
