Mine has a few dings, not my fault I swear. I've accepted it as a wear item.

I tried to update mine for other reasonse. After that I get "sAfEtY pAuSE" constantly in Android Auto music apps that's not only obnoxious because it practically mutes music and dings when it's done but is even more distracting and for longer than switching to another playlist. It even happens...

I drive mine year round too, winter temps get to the single digits here. I was worried it would be miserable but was rather surprised how quickly the knob warmed up, it was comfortable to me after like five minutes of driving. The little metal piece displaying gear patter on MT-82s felt worse...

Don't forget to replace the inner door handles with straps and take a fat dump before track day 🙃 I think you nailed all the big/easy stuff. Maybe titanium exhaust if they even make one for this car, replacing the resonator with a X/H pipe would definitely shed a few pounds.

The S650 custom modes are a joke. I feel like I have less choice than my S550. Practically all you can do is select a base mode and what exhaust volume you want. I basically just want track mode with regular throttle input and traction control on. "Oh no, can't be done". What's even the point...

You can also unplug your telematics control unit. It has three plugs iirc, it's in the trunk, behind the liner on the driver side, kinda between the wheelband tail light. Everything worth having still works fine, wireless Android Auto, Maps, etc. All I noticed is my car wouldn't connect to my...

Ya, 19s already feel catastrophic to me when hitting bumps and bad pavement, I can't imagine how bad 20+ wheels are.

On S550s the deepest setup I could find was stock resonator with muffler delete. Probably be the same for S650s but if it's rasp you don't want then stay far away from X Pipes and Corsa anything.

My Dark Horse has a moderate amount of shake/vibration while idling after startup but once at operating temp it idles smooth like greased shit on ice.

All you have to make sure is the wider tires don't rub on any suspension components and the aspect ratio (xxx/Aspect/XX) is adjusted to give your new tires the same overall diameter or within 3% of the ones you're replacing. Use the tire comparison tool here to find diameter...

Wireless charging is inherently going to create more heat than wired charging and any phone will get warmer than using a cord. Another issue is if the charger isn't positioned perfectly it can generate even more heat. My old phone sometimes would get hot enough on this charger while using...

I removed the cover and filed the bottom down, now my phone with an Otterbox Commuter fits nicely with even a bit of wiggle room on the wireless charger. Finished piece: It's just a pin that holds the cover in the hinge. I found the easiest way was removing the wireless charger for more...

I thought that was odd but it's what was listed on Guitar Center's webpage.

I chose to be weird and go with a Celestion full range speaker for my dash. 3.5in, 8ohm, 35w, 287dB sensitivity, frequency range 98Hz-18.5kHz. I just unsoldered the stock wiring from the old speaker and crimped some quick disconnects on I found at Autozone that fit the connection blades on the...

For anyone who had it done, about how long did the dealership have your car? This is my only vehicle and basically the only dealership I'd remotely trust is 40 minutes away.

RIP in peace, Jim.

It's more that I don't have any other choice. All those features are standard or worse on other cars, many are government mandated at this point. I wanted a V8 with a good manual transmission that I could self service for most things, new so I know the full history of the car and could PPF...

$65k-$75k seemed like the sweet spot for the top tier variant, attainable for a middle-classer with a good job and could stand toe to toe with the snob's M4. I wonder how much these cars would cost if all the bullshit were removed like automatic braking, rain sensing wipers (which currently work...

Steeda H-Pipe is hands down the most enjoyable mod I've done, with stock active exhaust it sounds way better to me than the full Borla S-Type catback I had on my S550. I don't regret anything so far but I've had long enough and a few cars to learn what's worth adding and what isn't.

HP tires are lower profile than standard so they'll ride rougher but it doesn't bother me. I like the look and grip of some fat wheels so I'm fine with suffering.
