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

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

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...

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.

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

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...

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

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.

They do. Search by size, not by vehicle.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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

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.

You are not at their mercy. You can and should insist on a complete replacement. They should not be rebuilding the transmission at the dealer's shop. The should install a new unit and they positively do that. I would absolutely not accept a shop based internal part replacement.

What are the costs of adding your spouse to the trip? It would go along way towards boosting my wifes interest in buying a brand new BW. Though she is already onboard more or less.

Say what? They are going to open the tranny and replace synchros? That doesn't make any sense. This is not what the do. They replace, not rebuild.
