Iāve had my ā21 for two years and a couple months, and itās at 33,000km / 20,500 miles despite being off the road for at least a quarter of that time.
Definitely far from new⦠curbed wheel, bunch of dead tires, couple small dings and dents, ripped off the front corner plastic shit while...
Thought Iād update with results. Went with a resonator and stoked with the result combined with the AA DP. Itās deeper sounding than I expected and loud as hell but not full retard⦠medium retard, Iād say. Cold start is rowdy, especially backed up to the cement wall of my underground parking...
Probably. Maybe. There are some crazy loud cars in my town, louder than this thing will be, and it's always been like that... so I'm thinking it'll be all good.
Now that my engine is sorted itās time to finally do the exhaust. Catted AA downpipe with a custom titanium center exit the entire length, resonator but no muffler. Excited to make loud teenager noises ??āāļø?
Last run up through the canyon and hills before the weather turns and Iām stuck in the valley. Early morning and long day, but so damn good. Is this real life?
Depends on the drive and mood⦠Bob Seger, Warren Zevon, and Boston will always be my homies, but I have a Souls of Mischief playlist that hits good on a flowy road. Tons of Nippsy, old Jay-Z before he found feelings, and Wu as well. And some other much worse rap.
Some days I like feeling like a...
Finally caved and put my ancient (blind and deaf) Shiba in the car. I have two different homes about three hours apart and Iāve been a bit bummed about leaving her behind when I leave Squamish for a week⦠But fuck it, itās just a car and Iāll probably spill a large chocolate milkshake in it...
The fit was terrible and the 3M sticky stuff moved and flexed when I pulled on them. Put new sticky stuff on and it didnāt help. Personally, I ended up not liking the add-on look, either. Iāll spend 10x as much and get clicky magnetic ones at some point ugh haha
I bought some Advan A052s that I thought I wanted when I was planning on some track days, but they suck balls for day to day use⦠obviously ? Thereās so much gravel on my roads, and itās so wet here all the time, that I donāt know what I was thinking. Especially as I donāt ever want two sets of...
My dude, I'm a blast to hang out with. Especially if you like to play Uno, go on gentle, 2-3 hour hikes, or do donuts in empty parking lots while listening to Bob Seger.
This might be a dumb question, but here I am... I'm having a "straight pipe" titanium exhaust with a center exit made for my car next month, but not actually straight because it'll be paired with a catted AA downpipe. In my mind, I wanted it open from there to exit, no resonator or muffler. I...
Honest dumb question here from someone who knows nothing about going fast in a straight line: Why does lowering the car equal less traction? Is it an alignment thing, or is there less traction because the suspension is firmer? Just curious :)
