    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    These are the actual Carbon Backed Semi-Aniline Seats. Took me about 2.5 hours being slow and methodical. If I did it again, it would probably be done in 1.5 hours. As far as the TapOut shells, I cannot speak to their quality. I doubt they have the ghosted in "V" badge in the top of the...

    Thinking of buying a Blackwing & have a question

    I mean, mine was built in AUG22, but not delivered to dealer until late JAN23. So, there is no telling when the dealer actually received it either.

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    A $91k 2022 is probably a $97-100k 2023. MSRP had a huge jump.

    Wheel Upgrade

    I’m indifferent. I will say this: When I installed and provided instructions for install of a carbon fiber steering wheel, I not only documented it, but gave up my supplier I worked with and told people to say I sent them. I got no kickback, just a cheaper price for anyone who did so. To each...

    More Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust Systems In Stock Now!

    Yeah, I ended up watching the C8 video. I was using the same 2024 LAUNCH Creader Elite. I realized a few lessons, so I figure I will share with others as well: 1. My reader was not instant to fully recognize the make/model/VIN - it took a few tries before the auto scan features fully...

    More Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust Systems In Stock Now!

    I bought the tool, as I also had the CEL pop up after the first few drives. I am trying to find where you access the valve relearn setting. Any pointers where to navigate to with the reader?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    You can decide how far out or recessed you want them. But if you go with the carbon tips, you lose the slant cut. So the bottom will stick out further than I like, but eso si que es

    I set the system to “Tour” mode and disconnected the battery before unplugging the valve. No CELs for me! Initial order was 16 July. Shipped 04 September. Arrived 06 September.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Got the install done. Delivered yesterday, installed today. One person install with car on jack stands. Not as easy as I had hoped. But sounds great!!

    Excellent Mileage

    It’s also a twin turbo V6. When you’re not in the power, that engine probably makes around 60-70% of the rated power. That’s why turbos are appealing to manufacturers for mileage and higher power. Good when you want it, not present when you don’t need it. The 5BW on the other hand… that...
