It seems Hyundai management has their finger on the pulse of America's auto enthusiasts. https://www.motor1.com/news/765061/hyundai-says-nobody-wants-manual-gearboxes/ Automatics, electric, electric handbrakes and fake engine noise are the ticket to success.

I'm over my head here, but Tapout has discussed these new systems and this thread has some good info Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results As I understand it, the cars do control the power output, but that is estimated based on sensor information, not a direct measurement. So...

I installed the Tapout rear spoiler on my 4 BW and it uses studs and nuts on the outer corner. It's difficult, but you can do it. I posted some information on doing it here: Carbon fiber PN database. I prefer using a nylon insert locknut on a stud versus the factory clip because the clip is...

I love how they took a hand-built, hand-painted car and added dealer ceramic, anti-theft, and tinted windows 🙄

That red one is 6-sp, but on the other coast. The only option is the paint color. I was just checking to see how much inventory there was.

If you're looking for new there seem to be several out there. I ran a quick inventory search on cadillac.com and it came back with 82 within 500 miles of Ohio, including 11 2024s. A lot of those may be customer orders in transit, but I doubt the 2024s are. Here's a snapshot sorted price low to...

Maybe get some lightweight aftermarket wheels and put the Cup2s on those if you track it or just want to use them sparingly for fun. The stock wheels look nice but they are super heavy. Then get the TPC PS4s on the stock wheels. Of course, you'll need a third set of wheels if you want all...

I've had my car up several times using this rubber disk off Amazon Amazon.com I don't have CF2 on my car, so it can just squeeze into the slot. Actually, I slip the rubber block into place and the plastic side trim holds it in place so I can slide the jack under it when it's in perfect position...

If you just bought the rears, you'll need to do lots of burnouts to equalize the tread between front and rear. 😏

Mine is flush. There is a row of clips along that seam and if the clips weren't damaged when uninstalled they may just not be engaged fully. You might try to loosen some of the screws in that area and then try to push it together to get the clips to click in. These are images from the service...

Yeah that's wrong. A non-CF car should only have the innies, but not the outies.

It sounds like you have CF1, and if so, you should have those flexible plastic deflectors. I showed those on an older thread Carbon fiber PN database. Non-CF has one, the second is added for CF1 as I showed with green and red circles. This is what the added parts look like...

Maybe the Tapout Tuning instructions for downpipe installation may help: https://www.tapouttuning.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Tapout-CT4-V-Blackwing-Downpipe-Installation-Instructions.pdf

You came back through Zanesville and didn't stop at Tom's Ice Cream Bowl???:oops:
