40k miles and still going strong...
well I performed my 40k service this weekend, everything has been running pretty well I just expected to find that my front brake pads needed replacing and was planning on replacing the front rotors cause a was getting some vibration at high speed braking.
well the good news is there is plenty left on my pads (I’m surprised with the spirited driving I do), both front and rear and after removing the pads and cleaning the rotors and pads the vibration has subsided.
I also switched from CAI to SRI and I have to say I think I like the switch. I feel like there is a little more power on the low end and the new sound is nice, I cant seem to keep my foot off the gas
I was also getting some rattling on the doors and narrowed it down to the small plastic inserts that are right on the inside of the door handle so I pulled them out and I put some friction tape on the back of them for a little padding and everything’s quiet now.
I hope the next 40k are as fun as the first.
Well that’s my story……

Good to hear!
I just turned 40K as well, so far so good! I hope I at least get another 200K out of the car before I have to make a switch. Oh and SRI does have such a great sound.
I just installed my Injen, SRI this weekend...
mpg before Injen > mpg after Injen
due to heavy foot syndrome... I feel like Pavlov's dog... Every time I hear that roar, I freak out, haha.

I just had 40k last week....currently at 41,300 and just like everyone else mentioned, the two heated seated switch backlighting went out at around 38k. Dealer replaced no problem.
