    A new competition for us all: Post your average lifetime RPM

    The engine is still creating revs during idle time, so no need to subtract that out. Those with higher idle times will have an inflated average RPM with this formula. If you wanted to get real fancy, you could figure out the idle RPM, multiply that by idle time, and get a more accurate number.

    Replacement tire recommendations

    I usually am mostly joking when I reply with..."Hoosiers" but this time it actually works. No cold, no rain, no noise, no budget, not worried about wear, most traction possible.

    Subwoofer Install

    Another thing you could do if you are in communication with LLJ customs is have them make you a harness. If you can get them the correct diagram for your car, they could easily make a harness that you put between the amp and original connector leaving out the ANC mic wires. The connector I...

    Dyno Day, 620whp

    A bunch of my BMW friends rented a dyno, so I thought I would tag along and put my car on the rollers if they had time. As you can tell, 620whp and 595ftlb of torque is pretty healthy for a car advertised at 668hp. I don't really think it was a happy dyno either, because a couple of the BWM guys...

    Subwoofer Install

    I believe the 4BW and 5BW are the same, but I am not 100% sure. They have the same RPO code for the stereo (UQS). I didn't download the diagrams for the 4, but this is for the 5. Unplug the X3 connector. I cannot remember which one it is in your picture, but match up the color of the wires with...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Check the registry and search your dealer to see how many cars they got for the 2022 model year. That will be a good starting point. Then, you have to figure out what number in line you are at your dealer. You'd think that would be a straight forward request, but at some dealers it can be like...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    So, I haven't been here in quite some time...I was going to jokingly ask if all the 2022s had been delivered yet, but I guess it's actually a valid question.

    Did CT5 Blackwing price go up?

    So I understand that there will only be 120 anniversary issue cars made but 10k for some badges, thanks, but no thanks. $7100 to pick my VIN#, again maybe 001, 069, or 666 is there really a number that would really mean that much to justify that price? 🤔 You don't get to pick just ANY VIN...

    Did CT5 Blackwing price go up?

    Did anybody else see this? 10k for 120 anniversary pkg. $7,120 for commemorative calendar year selection ,3,400 enclosed shipping.🫣😱WTF. I had mine delivered by enclosed transport and cost me $1400 and what are you getting for those other charges? 10k gets you the "package." I'm not really...

    Subwoofer Install

    I guess the sound quality is still the same, but a LOT more bass.

    Subwoofer Install

    I know very little about car audio these days as well. Most of my education is from perusing Crutchfield catalogs 20 years ago. It's so complicated now with locked head units, factory amps, and ANC, etc. I did a little research, but talking to a pro installer was the key.

    Subwoofer Install

    If you don't, then the added sound from an aftermarket sub will be seen by the ANC as noise that it needs to cancel causing very weird and loud pops/thuds/drones from the ANC system. I wanted to try without disabling the ANC first, but the install guy at the shop said he had never seen an ANC...

    Trunk liner

    Actually, I'm referring to the small round fasteners that have a round head that you see after everything is installed. The metal clips are made to stay in the molded plastic, but if you take them out enough you are bound to lose one or break one. Trim tools help a lot.

    Service manual says the clips are one time use.

    Personalized license plate

    Technically, license plate covers or frames of any kind, are illegal in a lot of states, but yeah, it's best not to do something illegal while you are doing something illegal.

    Auction Site listings

    For the 2014 (and 2015 if you count the coupe) model year, Cadillac produced the 2nd Gen CTSV alongside the 3rd Gen CTS in lower trims. So, it's not unheard of even very recently.
