Thank you yes i ordered those (possibly at your earlier recommendation?) but I cannot for the life of me get it to pop out. I've watched some videos and it seems like it shouldn't be so difficult. I will keep trying when I get some time this week.

I need to pop the shift boot off but have struggled with my trim tools - it feels like it is going to break something. If there are any tips, I'd appreciate hearing them. I would like to get Lathewerks to make me a round 2 1/8" polymer/stainless combo one.

OP - I know you aren't asking for our opinions about whether you should or should not put lowering springs on your car but the mag ride is so awesome I just can't imagine messing with the springs. I've used springs in the past and always regretted it (and always ended up with proper high...

I was actually thinking about the Apexes for powdercoating.

Getting wheels powdercoated in the color you want is not very expensive - usually about $150/wheel in my area.

Ummm I'm guessing you have never changed parts on a car and dyno'd it back to back. You definitely can gain power with exhausts and/or intakes on a lot of modern cars with stock ECU.

That is so disappointing! I'm at 12k miles and kind of thought my car was out of the woods but I guess not.

As someone who has a low option Black Raven 5BW 6sp, I endorse this spec! Great looking car and I'd buy it as a spare if I could. Good luck!

So annoying and embarrassing! Mine does it occasionally, too. Although it seems to happen less often than when new.

Evora 400 manual and 5BW manual owner here. Every time I drive a 4BW, I get closer to trading my Evora for one. The 4BW is such an exciting car to drive but also a great day-to-day car. My Evora doesn't get driven nearly enough (12k miles in 7 years) and it seems dumb to have something I so...

Thank you. I think a lot of us are ready to pull the trigger as soon as it's available.

If you are able to share, roughly how much longer do you think it will be for you guys to release the 5BW exhaust?

AWE - any updates on a 5BW exhaust? I am ready when you are!

Many years ago I decided "no more boring cars". An A6 will be a nice but boring car. I can't imagine going from my Blackwing to something with zero personality or spunk. One of my other cars is a 2025 Jaguar F Pace SVR. If you want a refined, smooth car with a beautiful interior that still...

Drove my 5BW 700 miles today to Santa Fe. Was absolutely perfect, averaged about 18mph but I was hammer down a lot. Heading to Moab tomorrow for Bronco OffRoadeo then Kalispell, then down through Wyoming and Denver before heading back to Texas. Should be close to 5k miles in 10 days! I...
