    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    I'll chime in. I've owned 3 generation M3's, 3x S2000s, and a recent Subaru STI in the last few years. The 4BW suspension is by far the most compliant car of the ones I've listed above (the STI being by far the harshest stock suspension). No, I don't think the 4BW is dull suspension compared...

    Nofar's 2022 CT4 BW winter wheel/tire setup

    Hey guys, thought I'd share some info, especially as I'm sure there are a few others looking for wheel/tire setup for winter for the CT4. I ended up driving to Tire Rack in South Bend, Indiana a couple months ago to the "guinea pig" and allow Tire Rack to scan my car so they can see what...

    Are you f'ing kidding me, GM? Red Seatbelts - ONE belt mismatched?!?!

    I have a 2022 CT4BW. Can confirm, red belts in all positions except rear center belt is black. Doesn't bother me much as I have two car seats in back so you can't see anything in back seat anyway.

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Small update for CT4B BW owners looking for snow tires on Tire Rack website. I've been in contact with Tire Rack several times over last few weeks. Options for our cars are somewhat limited. If you "build" a wheel/tire setup they don't show any staggered dedicated snow tires. You'd have to...

    On a side note, want to sell your S2000 to a fellow Honda junky? :)

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    Using Apple CarPlay when it's happened most times. Just had an update a few days ago. But like I mentioned it happens every few weeks to month, not so often that I can duplicate it at the dealership.

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    My new rants for my CT4 BW. My infotainment screen goes blank....like total black, blank, nothing works....about once every 3-4 weeks, lasts a minute or two, then just restarts. Cannot figure out why, the dealership cannot duplicate it. It's annoying but not a deal breaker of course. Any...

    Winter is coming !

    Great write up. I went there in August with my 4BW to have it scanned for wheel/tire selection. Great people work at Tire Rack.

    Rear Splash Guards for CT4V-BW

    If you buy a right angle screw driver, low profile one, the install is seamless. I bought one from Harbor Freight for under $10, because I was too lazy to take the wheels off, and it worked great.

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    4BW owner with over 5000 miles. No clunking or jerking or difficult to engage shifts. Even when cold so far in Michigan weather. Does sound as if there's an actual inherent problem with your transmission. I was skeptical of the Tremec transmission after having multiple S2000s (the best...

    Rear Splash Guards for CT4V-BW

    I bought a set of rear splash guards from Amazon for a base CT4. The rears fit fine but the front did not fit well, so I kept the OEM front guards. If you want, feel free to message me your phone number and I'll text you pictures.

    CT4-V CT4-V Blackwing General Photo Thread: 4BWs Make Everything Look Better

    Loving this color/spec. I have Electric Blue with the CF1 and CF2 options, but this car in red, makes me second guess my color choice. Well done!

    Aftermarket wheels for CT4V BW?

    Got a call from them yesterday, they're hoping to have everything up in next few weeks, hopefully end of September. I'm anxious to buy something too before the snow hits. I'll post on the forum when I get an update from them.

    Nail in tire, oh joy...

    I recently had a blow out on my 4BW after a huge pothole; not the same but I get the frustration. I would say patch the tire professionally; it's on a few dollars. If it doesn't work then pony up for a new tire, about $300 here in Michigan at Discount Tire.

    Aftermarket wheels for CT4V BW?

    Yes, made it to Tire Rack this past week. Easy process, everyone super friendly, and very cool place to visit even for only short time. They said they'll let me know when website is updated, hopefully one week.

    CT4-V Rear Splash/Rock Guard Installation on CT4 BW with Picture

    Purchased this same set of rock/splash guards from Amazon. Cheap purchase. Installs easily with right ankle screwdriver so you don't have to take the wheel off. Looks good, hopefully functional. The fronts did not fit like OEM so I chose to keep the OEM front rock guards, with these Amazon...

    MT Buyers Only: If MT was not available, would you still buy a Blackwing?

    I voted definitely not. Major requirement for me is a manual transmission. I'm not ready to give up driving a manual yet and every car the last 20+ years has been a manual. Coming from three generations of BMW M3, if the Blackwing did not offer a manual, I would have simply proceeded to buy...
