    Blackwing Seat Piping Material

    I am contacting upholstery shops to see if they would take on this tiny job. I would rather have pros do it right.

    Blackwing Seat Piping Material

    I have not done this before, but reading reviews, the product does what it is meant to do. I would mask around the piping and put down a few coats of spray paint like Dupli-Color HVP-100 (if vinyl). Leather specific spray paint is available on Etsy, but I am sure elsewhere as well. Nothing...

    Blackwing Seat Piping Material

    I would like to paint my 4BW (black leather seat) white piping red, but would like to confirm whether the piping is leather or vinyl so I can use appropriate spray paint. Does anyone know for certain? I am not sure I can tell just by looking at it under magnification.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    This thread has outlived its entertainment value and needs to die.

    CT5-V 2023BW traded for 2025

    Black badges is a $250 OEM option. I am sure chrome is still the base option.

    Corsa Xtreme Exhaust issue

    I think the dealer is going to tell you to remove the exhaust before they work on it. And you already know that the issue is most likely exhaust related, so I don't see how the dealer is going to resolve it. They will be happy a few hundred dollars from you to tell you to remove the aftermarket...

    Exhaust question for CT4 Blackwing

    I meant the OP, but I see that it does have cats. That is tempting and wouldn't cost 2.5k to end up with a raspy exhaust like a Corsa.

    Exhaust question for CT4 Blackwing

    Not bad. So no resonators and 10" widowmaker mufflers on the quite side and straight through on the loud side. Not cats?

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    I drove and autocrossed the 2nd gen MR2 turbo for probably 6 or so years in the 90s. It was a great car that was fast enough, but the handling was wicked. It understeered until it didn't and then the back would come around. When driving in the snow conditions, just lifting off the gas in a...

    CT5-V Rear seat center seat belt

    Anyone tried safety restore to match the color of the center belt to torch red. It appears in between their two colors r11 and r12

    Suspension question

    You will be fine with a street alignment. You "might" be autocrossing for fun, not for prizes. That 0.05 seconds you will be missing is not going to make any difference.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    My appologies to Roadhawk for missreading the post. Spoofing the ECU can work to extract more power, but probably isn't the best idea of long term reliable operation. But that's a different discussion.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    Sorry, but if you think you gained 90hp from a throttle body without turning, you must be new to mods. With tuning, pretty much 100% of any gains, will come from the tuning and not from the throttle body.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    You missunderstood something. Tapout doesn't claim 90hp gain from that throttle body. That would be radicultous. They claim 10-15hp. Its been long understood in the ATS-V community that these throttle bodies don't see any gains. In regards to gains without tunning, that is a pipe dream. There...

    LF4 dipstick tube coking

    My 5k mile just bought example looked just like this when I pulled the dip stick out. Oil has never beer changed and the dip stick probably never pulled out. Kinda scarred me as well.

    CT4 BW to Dark Horse?

    I agree. That is the first annoying thing I discovered in this car. My ATS-V did not require the brake.

    2022 CT4V wheel size?

    Wanted to resurect this thread as this question hasn't been discussed but is relevant: What is the clearance with these Apex wheels between the front caliper and the wheel ID/drum? The set I was using on the ATSV without an issue allows only 1mm of clearance, which could be ok, but not ideal.

    4BW Floor/trunk mats

    Weathertech sucks. The edges curl up and it looks like crap.

    Those who ordered Gloss Black V Badging Nameplates

    Curious about the same. I saw a car with a sticker that included black badges but it had regular chrome ones. I dont think I've actually seen a picture of a car with black badges.
