It's not just time. It's a sophisticated algorithm that factors in time, mileage, operating temperatures, cold starts, etc....a lot of very knowledgeable engineers spent years developing it. I wouldn't secondguess unless you just want to change earlier than it's calling. Probably not needed, but...

For me, it's getting some more color into that black hole of an interior. Just jewelery, really.

Closer to 5%, but only because it is time dictated and is coming up on a year old oil with less than 3k miles. Go by the indicator and you will be good.

Confirmed that only the cover is different between the ct4 and ct5 center belts. The ct5 retractor bolted right into my ct4. Only the cover had to be cut off and moved from one to the other.

Not sure if you are aware, but spacers that aren't bolted on, eat up your lug nut thread engagement. Unless you are planning getting longer studs, I would not do 6mm spacers. To give you an example, on my ATS-V, 5mm spacers cut down my lug nut thread engagement by half. It went from about 9.5...

I would have totally done it!

I have the flow formed version SM-10 sitting on the rack waiting for spring. Unfortunatelly, wouldn't have on car pics until April.

He does his own crash testing and safety research. I believe him. Hey....is this RiptideHTC's second account by any chance? My spidy sense picks up a few similarities.

People have an amazing ability to see only the statistics and arguments that fit their narrative and agenda.....Confirmation bias.....You can find a way to justify almost any nonsense.

Perhaps they would like to not die in an accident, take a flight though the windshield, or have the air bag explode into their face or experience a litany of other possibilities resulting from unsecured passengers in a moving vehicle coming to a stop in a fraction of a second.

Creative steel bushings last longer, but also oval out/fall apart. Just a shifty design.

Be prepared for them to tell you that it's normal. Took 3 visits to two dealers to get it done. Don't accept their bs.

Remove the exhaust and the driveshaft and lower/tilt the tranny.

Yes. Problem goes back to the atsv. It's the shifter mounting plate bushings ovaling out. They shrink due to the cold and allow excessive movement until the transmission tunnel warms up. Eventually the assembly is going to start banging on the tunnel when going over bumps and railroad tracks. It...

I'll take them. I've broken the mirror trying to take the caps off. Don't do it in the cold as the plastic is stiff and the clips don't want to release. Needs ambient or external hit to make them pliable.

Yup, a number of cars came up with matte paint at a really good price and I was trying to justify to myself how its going to be ok PPFed. Ultimatelly, I knew I didn't want deal with it and passed.

I thought the same thing. :) My first thought was, why would anyone.......J

Thats an easy one to fix. Buy one and install it. It's 30mins worth of work at most and is only around $66. I just ordered the ct5 one for my 4bw as only the belt cover is different and the 4bw red centers are likely done forever.

Funny, but that is my ideal color scheme. Blue exterior, gray interior, red belts and calipers.

Amazon sells a road salt test kit.
