Installed a Motorsports Hardware 65mm stud kit

I've had a set of those nuts forever and I wish I had a set of wheels that used them. So hot

I wish there were more options for ball seat lug nuts. I know they make the conversion washers but they like to roll away and get lost when I take the wheels off.

I have a bunch of apex black 17mm nuts. I might buy a set of 19mm nuts from 034 at some point. they get beat up with the impact often enough that I usually have an excuse to get more.

Because rattle can is all I can… my winter steelies turned from rusty to CSG.

i Can’t tell in the picture, do you run studded tires in winter?

Regular winter tires. Studded tires aren’t allowed in Germany.

Finland is where I have spent the majority of my time in the EU. Lots of cars with studded tires still on when I get there in late April.

I can see why. Years ago had the chance to drive a studded vs regular winter tire on an enclosed snow test track in Austria. Amazing, until there’s no snow… So far never had to use chains on a fwd car while going to the alps. I do a have a set of chains in the trunk just in case. Some roads in Austria/Italy are limited to awd or chains only from time to time.

I feel dirty. This was my first non Motul oil change since I bought the car. Sadly no Motul dealers over here. At least I have something else to blame a potential engine failure on lol.

Malone/Tunezilla custom trans tune is also flashed and feeling great. Will be switching to their ECU and Haldex tunes in the very near future. I am very stoked, it's exponentially quicker than ever! I cannot wait for Auto-X Sunday in my GSW4Mo!

Which motul were you running? Most of the VW-approved, non-ester oils are honestly on par with Mobil 1 or Castrol, so I don't think that's a big downgrade.

 

[scrllock]

Were you running MoS2 in the motul? Normally x-cess doesn't have much if any molybdenum on its own either.

Recently moved and only need a rear plate, so I painted some plugs and filled the front plate mount holes.

Threw this HPA catted downpipe on today. Love it. Sounds amazing with the stock catback and vibrant res. Beautifully constructed. I already had a Billy Boat catted downpipe, but ive been wanting something that reduced the smell a little better than the 200 cell on it, and I saw this new ceramic coated 300 cell one on ebay for too good of a deal

 

[Shy Guy]

Got the urinal. It doesn't quite fit well as my intake box is larger than stock so it smashes up against it. I have to hold it open... not a huge deal. I tried rotating it but it makes it fit worse.

Picked up a sun shade (pretty much a requirement in Az)

what paint did you use? I need to paint a cover for the front tow hook. I was looking at the duplicolor since they have a paint match for LY3D (Tornado Red), and some 2k Clear coat

Here are the paints I used. I would have used a 2k clear but I couldn’t get it local, and it was such a small project I didn’t want to waste it.

Since the paint was covered by the license plate cover it never faded so it matches really well.
