The coating thats used in it can cause damage to the wiper system, sensors specifically. Plus you pay about double for it and it doesnt work any better than the dollar stuff you get at the gas station. I put a jug in my camry and it didnt work well, smelled very strongly, and seemed a waste of money

I agree, I used Rain x a few years back on my A8 and the dealer had to replace the unit and told me to avoid using Rain X fluid

Same as a manual car. Less drivetrain movement during shifts and due to less drivetrain movement, wheel hop is also lessened.

Stupid question time! Planning on buying new wheels. 18x8.5 et43, 5x112. Do I need new bolts?
If so the 14x1.5x27mm? Looks like ECS sells 28mm will this matter?
If not, what decides on if I need a different bolt length?

Bolt length will be the same most likely. However OEM wheels use ball seat bolts and many aftermarket wheels use conical seat. You will need new bolts.

How do I determine this for sure?

Some aftermarket wheels use ball seat bolts (Neuspeed for example). But most use conical (aka radius) seat bolts. You need to confirm.

If ball seat, and you’re not adding spacers, you can reuse the stock bolts.

This^. You also don't need longer bolts for cone seat. I am using OEM length on my wheels.

Where do you guys keep the parts you remove from the car? Especially the bigger stuff like the stock exhaust/intake etc? Just stack it all in the garage?

Everywhere, it's a mix of removed and about to be installed. Dining room table is ASAP. Office is about to be installed and for sale items. Wheels and heavy parts in the basement. Seats are in storage unit.

Buy some part please. Girl is pissed.

In my dad's barn lol. I have my stock air box in the rafters of my garage, but I installed my exhaust at my parents house and it wouldn't fit in the car to take back to my place
