with stock dp I noticed a power bump with doing the AWE, felt more responsive and just a tad bit quicker, it could be placebo, or maybe the 10-15 hp bump with a little less weight is what did it!
I almost bought one, but when I did my exhaust, it looks like the OEM brace is pretty damn similar, So I didn't think it was worth it yet. My next brace mod will be the one that replaces the factory harness or roll bar!
I did the same with the cusco front sway, really change the car. the springs don't really drop too much more, I wish it was half an inch lower in the rear, but oh well!
these low lifes stealing cats has made my business so much harder... people think it is illegal now or that I am doing something sketch, even though I'm not lol. oh but shameless plug, if anyone wants to sell an oem dp lmk. $1300+ for 2020, and $1200+ for 2021. but back to regularly scheduded...
my dad has a 17 gtc that we custom ordered. love the car, super unique and fun, but built with fucking Cheeto dust and painters tape holy shit. not even 5k miles, both head gaskets leaking coolant. seats are a different color red then the day we got it, red stitching all over dash is now brown...
Okay I may have been exaggerating a little lol, I do better than most people my age with a pretty successful metal recycling business, basically buying and recycling cats/ downpipes, and flip the occasional car/truck. but man between a full time girlfriend, expensive ass college lol, even with a...
ya a couple local guys to me have this super high temp wrap they use, and some do reflective, this is a quick 30 second photoshop, but I would most likely powder coat them if I were to do it
That would also look amazing! I want to do it, but man this car cost me so much money LOL. as a broke college student trying to run his own business but also have an unhealthy obsession with cars and modding this one, it adds up so quick... 1-200 here, 9-1000 there, just ugh. everywhere around...
I really don't think the factory 2021 braces did anything, but when I did this both myself and my dad drove the car and we agreed it felt a lot better, only other mods I did that day was the verus master cylinder brace, and the verus turbo heat shield. The cusco piece is a very very solid...
post photos with the fenders! It is something I def want to do down the road. How is the noise with the roof box, I am never getting one lol, but just curious, looks so cool on the car, just dont need it haha.
I still have the factory cat, but I was behind a catless buddy of mine when he was racing and he has pure 800 and ecutek, and everytime he floored it, I thought his turbo went Kaboom, a lot of smoke, he said its normal, I guess some cars just burn more oil than others, some other cars local to...
that is so ridiculous, really shouldn't matter at all, unless you want the mods covered in case of a total loss or theft, who cares if you an exhaust or something or a lip, wheels, springs etc. Insurance companies suck..., and yes I know, when you need them you won't be saying that but I have...
So a couple months I was cheap and decided to just order a set of 2021 style engine braces, paid like $45 with hardware which I didn't even use LOL, then had a shop powder coat them and it was totally the wrong color, and it ended up costing me $150 bucks in total, such a waist, maybe for 45...
