I personally have not yet. I have been meaning to try that stuff but kind of forgot about it to be honest.

If you try it out before me let me know what you think!

You guys are really into knobs, amirite?
Shiet...I need to update my fs thread...I swear, I had a fetish for a while...I have like 6 different knobs...different styles. It's like I was searching for the one guy's knob that fit nicely in my hand to jerk off and I just stuck with it.

I began noticing some hesitation and jerkiness mainly at slow speeds in first and it really started to bother me. After some research, it seemed the culprit was the APP sensor. I just installed the new one and it seemed to drive a lot smoother right away. I'm driving to Pittsburgh tomorrow so it should give the ECU plenty of time to re learn itself.








Also as I was tightening down the bolt that holds the APP bracket, the head snapped right off So I put my bolt extraction experience to the test and prevailed!

Rotated the PSS's at just over 7,000 miles. The fronts were at 8/32 and the rears were at 9/32. Pretty damn good considering they started at 10/32

Nice updates - been out of the loop for a minute - did you every go moar low - or get some fender rolling? also just curious what your ground to fender lip height - I think someone asked it earlier in the thread - figured I'd check...i'm playing with going slightly lower - BC has facility in Orlando, where I could drive down and have them upgrade my springs and even re-valve my shocks if I needed them too based on spring rates...dunno yet

Ah nice that would be cool to check out.

Nah, nothing new really. I don't really have any desire to go any lower honestly. I did though upgrade my nav to the 2017 update which is awesome compared to my 2008 disc.

Word - i have no idea how that would be - Non-Navi here

yeah i'm still playing with the idea of being lower, but I know that I would need to increase my spring rates to lower moar comfortably - not trying to break my oil pan. Keep the photo's coming bro!

haha this is true. I must admit though, I do enjoy using it more often now that the maps are up to date. It's much better having it integrated than holding my phone.

nice ryan! I agree on the navi thing. Dont get me wrong if I could have been able to afford a type s at the time than I would have gotten that but I had to settle for a base and I knew I wanted one without a navi just because how dated it is and they never work right lol.

Go a hair lower dude. YOU CAN DO IT. Do you find the TEIN SA hair bouncy? I have the street flex and have the dampening basically at full stiff and they still feel a lil bouncy. Mind you the roads around here are bump and dip central so that could have something to do with it and I know Dave (sockr) said his are a lil bouncy too. Curious as to how you find the SA setup

that's why i'm going tablet nexus 7 route!! it's about 90% complete right now (new back up camera, gps, audio, etc). my navigation broke about 2 years ago and i refused to pay 400 to fix it plus 100 every year to update it. i'll post a lot about the tablet install once the guy releases his final "operating system"

yea interested to see how your SA are as well. i have a feeling they won't be as bouncy. i still love the flex but it definitely can be improved regarding dampening. looking back i should have gone with the SA to save some money, but oh well.

Dave! Are you gonna put a camera on the rear? Don't forget to remove plate first before removing the trim.
