    Aftermarket Wheel Offset / Backspacing

    Hard to get a really good dished wheel because of the high offsets and large brakes in for the rear. Fronts, you can get dish for days but itll look wonky not matching the rear. I'm running 20x10.5 +13j and 20x12 +50j.

    E85 / Flex Fuel Sensor - Rant

    Probably dead since you cant integrate the flex sensor in the engine bay like in the older LT and LS. Joys of Global B encrypting most of the canbus connections.

    Correct valve position for Corsa installation…

    There's no springs in the flap. They dont have a spring that defaults them to a certain position when the electronic valves arent mated. The stock electronic valves control them fully. The stock electronic valve actually defaults to open when power is off. What gets most folks are either...

    Low dust brake pads

    Contact KNSBrakes, tell them what you want most (ie low brake dust as priority) and theyll give you options. I went thru them 2+ yrs ago, ended up with Hawk Ceramics. I imagine there's more options now since we werent 100% whats fully compatible then with these brakes.

    CT5-V Blackwing Suspension Tuning - Options, Specs, Reviews

    The twitchiness is probably based on how much rear toe it has. Happen to have a print out of your current alignment specs? Also, unless you're tracking it heavily, I wouldnt want to run -2.5 for the front. Probably shoot for the -1.5 front and -1 rear for a more street care setup.

    CT5-V 5BW new tire time - discussion

    First question is if its fixable. Can it be patched or plugged? Id fix it first before anything else. If you decide to replace, depends on which tire it is. Is it the cup2s or the PS4 tires. If cup2s, I'd replace the pair since 2,100 on cup2 in the rear, it would already have some wear on...

    Dealer joyride and manual "lessons"

    Somebody I know just went thru this. He took the car in for a switch and a door pad replacement. PDR recorded the techs joy riding the car and doing WOT pulls on atleast 2 occasions, practicing how to drive stick, and just free revving the car. Dealership asked him to not sue or post the...

    Newbie question: ride quality diff in 2025 5BW

    From what Ive seen, if you get the PP, the cup2 tires are optional. You can still get it with the normal PS4 tires. I was under the impression that it was baked in but isnt.

    Auto vs. Manual

    If i wanted an auto, I would have kept my V3. Missed rowing gears from my old C6Z but need backseats. This is the only car nowadays that covers both.

    Struggling to find aftermarket wheels I really like. Am I alone?

    gotta figure out what style you like more. Simple 5-6 spoke or mesh style faces. I went simple 5 spoke for ease of cleaning.
