Ah, that would make sense. I've only tried streaming services - GPM, Spotify, Apple Music, and just Youtube if you count it.

On that note, how do you even get album art to show up for Bluetooth? It's literally never worked for me in any scenario. Tried multiple streaming services, both on Android and iPhone.

Gotcha, that was the trade-off I've been weighing since this conversation started, but obviously I wasn't sure how it'd balance out. Now that I realize how differing experiences everyone is having even on the same platform, it seems like I can't really go wrong with a 17 or an 18. Leaning...

Alright, I gotcha. I suppose I just underestimated the impact of wheel/tire mass since sidewall rollover and associated responsiveness is a much more visible and tangible thing I've been fighting with that has a direct impact on feel. And I don't think I'd mind the look of 17s, at least on...

So what's the argument for a 17" wheel vs an 18", and the sidewall height gain that comes from that? My understanding has been that you'd want to lessen sidewall height where reasonable for responsiveness, especially if I'm still working with factory camber. The lower cost certainly doesn't...

Thanks guys! That sounds like a good plan. 30 events sounds awesome! I won't necessarily expect that straight out of the gate of course, but that's a good sign. Why explicitly avoid the 19s? Weight, cost, and/or something else?

Nice, thanks! That all lines up with what I was thinking. Regarding tire choice, that's interesting because most everything I've read online has been very positive regarding the V730s, but I spoke to someone at another autox who tried them out because of the attractive price and had really poor...

Ran my first SCCA autox in the ATL region yesterday and all 3 other cars in STH were on 200tw (unsurprisingly) while I was winging it on my DWS06+s. I enjoyed myself and feel like I did fairly well considering, but of course being 2-3s behind isn't as fun. So naturally I'm considering some...

Ran autox yesterday at my old college campus, for probably the last time they're hosting at that location. Then hit 70k miles on the way home. Still feels like I'm putting miles on weirdly quickly, but I'm enjoying it the whole way.

Gotcha, thanks. So does that mean that when an event has a lower SCCA membership registration price ($55 vs $75 for the one I'm looking at), this is referring to the overall national membership? Otherwise, the dues cost for the region would be made up for after just one event.

On a completely different note, total noob questions, as I'm finally in a position to get into some SCCA events. I have a couple questions about member registration that I emailed the SCCA about but got a kind of non-answer, so I'll ask here too: When signing up, you get a choice of region of...

Finally did spark plugs and belt replacement on the Alltrack today for 60K service, some 1500 miles late. All outgoing parts look good though, and both were even easier than expected.

I'm in the exact same boat, been thinking about this for the past couple weeks. Think I need to fully price out all of the details of a Macan swap and go from there.

Accidentally tore up my hatch weatherstripping when pushing a huge block of tooling foam into my car. Think this might be risking a leak, or can I get away with it as just cosmetic damage since it's at the bottom of the door?

Whoa, super cool case. I'm really into cases with unique layouts and that one is very much on my radar now. Nice build!

Mind giving a quick review on the case itself? I've never even considered a case from a company that typically focuses on other products, but that one looks pretty nice, actually.

Bump.

I believe so, but regardless it can be done fairly easily if you have the car on jackstands and use a floor jack on the end of the lower control arm to push it up into place, which gives you way more space than with the car on the ground.

Swapped over to Bilstein B16s on my Alltrack a couple weekends ago and set ride heights pretty high since I wasn't sure how much to expect them to settle. A few hundred miles and a weekend trip later, they're all settled, and yesterday evening a friend and I tried lowering the rear. Top lock nut...

Yeah, best of luck on fixing that one. I posted about the giant chip I got in my windshield a couple months ago nearly, and it took weeks, a lot of wasted time, and too many headaches to get it replaced. Never going to that Safelite location again. You're correct in your concerns lol.
