    New Owner CT4 BW

    I find the alcantara super easy to care for and with my sweaty hands its a must. A quick touchip with a leather brush pops those fibers right back up and maybe 2x a year a 10min clean with some German suede cleaner and its literally the same as I bought it. Beautiful car op!

    Track Mode

    You cant. PTM isnt ‘available’ in Track, PTM is Track, it bypasses your driving mode. Set your Vmode suspension to sport and you lose the double tap to PTM. Or set the driving mode to Tour and select PTM and note the harsher ride, stiffer steering, and louder exhaust. You can do track without...

    Track Mode

    PTM overrides driving mode settings. You can be in Tour and select PTM and you will get the louder exhaust, stiffer suspension, and stiffer steering. Try mapping PTM Sport to Vmode without having Vmode suspension in the stiffest setting and it will tell you that it cant do it. Its my...

    Burnt Bronze Rims -- What's everyones thoughts?

    I think they look pretty sweet with certain vehicle colors, however, I believe they are the heaviest wheel option as well as the most expensive so thats why I went with the black wheels.

    Radiator Protection?

    My 4's heat exchangers, all of them, mostly the lower 1/3, are starting to show some decent impact wear. The cooling system is pretty over engineered, basically meant to do Spring Mountain routinely in the summer, so Im not necessarily worried about overtemping even during a sustained spirited...

    Sport Display Question

    I guess those of us with the V6 will just have to let it bounce off the limiter...

    1,500 miles service

    The diff is the only thing I recall seeing the manual specify needs changing at 1500 prior to track use. Thats not a scheduled service item though so if you use your dealer freebie oil change youll likely need to pay to have the diff serviced. That fluid is quite pricey but you should use the...

    Spring Mountain- Track insurance?

    I declined it. Still ran sub 1:19 on the east track in a 4 without ever really feeling like it was about to go off in to the dirt. One dude did go off in to the dirt but didnt cause any damage. He was in the slowest group so likely would have gone off in to the dirt next to his driveway too.

    What is that green ring around the gear indicator

    I think youll find the answer in the owners manual. Wait until you floor it, youll se lots of colors…

    I see a lot of people not liking the sunroof option

    I had to order my 4BW to not get the sunroof, all the dealer stock had them optioned and I refuse to ever get another vehicle with one. The one on my 4runner rattles like a mofo on bumpy roads and I never used the one my SS so made zero sense to pay for it.

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    180mi drive, lots of different pavement and speeds. Noticeably quieter, no perceptible change in ride.

    4BW LF4 Oil Consumption

    Are you resetting the oil life monitor after each change?

    4BW LF4 Oil Consumption

    Wait, so you've done 3 oil changes in 4500 total miles? Why?

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    Really only did a shakedown/scrub run on them after install but Ill have a 180mi trip on Tuesday that covers lots of different pavement surfaces so Ill have a better comparison then. I can say thats it definitely not louder at least and the only “softness” I noticed was the bite on sharp initial...

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    Just had the DWS06+ put on today in the stock sizes. Michelins were a decent bit more expensive and in the reviews Ive seen, the tires are basically a draw. Initial impressions are limited but still positive, there is zero change in traction while accelerating, put down a 4.3s 0-60 @ 6500'...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Bit the bullet and installed uhp all seasons. Dont need them to do anything crazy like snow drifting but temps are mostly below 40 here until April and the stock summer tires are hockey pucks. Went with the Conti DWS06+ in stock sizes since they were decently cheaper than the Michelin a/s with...

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    Speed is relative. I fly a plane that routinely cruises in excess of 90% the speed of sound. At low weights, it accelerates down a runway and climbs like a scaled ape. But the only metric by which you know you are going "fast" is the time it takes to get somewhere. And since its not really...

    KEY FOB COLOR PEELING/CHIPPING OFF

    Yeah, mine has a couple small chips so I keep it in the smaller coin pocket on pants that have them or just drop the fob in the key holder in the center console since the fob has a tendency to slip out of my pocket during long stretches of highway driving on cruise control.

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    Good to hear the PSAS’s are well received, I ran Yokohama a/s’s on my SS and they were meh, safer in cold temps for sure but a bit soft and gooey feeling with any kind of turning. With 9400mi on the stock summer tires, I had hoped to limp thru the winter and get another year out of them but...

    iPhone charging woes

    15 pro on ios 17.1 and yeah, it will charge for a few seconds then stop. If you move the phone slightly it will start again then stop ofter a few seconds. Hope they figure it out as it sounds like its an issue with Apple.
