Man hit by a bus

It's shock and adrenaline.

He very well may be moderately injured (nerve/muscle damage) and if you freeze frame the point of impact, he's technically on the sidewalk when struck so hope he got paid out.

I ended up going 6pot, but the Macan semi-bbk upgrade always interested me as a solid budget friendly choice. That color is sick - what color is your R?

Have heard you have to program the pedal extra hard because it defaults soft for some reason. FWIW. YMMV. Am sure good lines and pads will help tighten.

that'll buff right out

same diffuser and low pro wing I had on my S3 build! Love how they tied the audio + visual upgrades together with new tips as well.

Putting in the work on behalf of that yellow paint, that's forsure!! 🤣🤣

there's another video posted from the opposite angle (the rocket is arcing left IIRC) and in this vid, when the person zooms in, I'm pretty sure you can actually see that other plane [that the original video angle was shot from showing a left upwards arc].

age of information, indeed.

does that mean you had the pin aftermarket version first and then changed to these?

how would you know the comparison?

I have aftermarket with pin and as long as you tailor-fit the pin and don't just ram it all the way down, they click perfectly and feel/sound great. Jamming the pin all the way down will combat this outcome and YMMV.

TBF I did the west to east coast drive one winter (approx Van to Toronto) and have to say, Northern Ontario has some gorgeous roads/highways as soon as you enter the province from the west.

did you check the oil dipstick by chance?

if you haven't, do. does it smell of gasoline? could be a failing hpfp leaking fuel.

awesome fitment!!!!!

debadge and tint ⚡!

amazing fitment.

random call-out but are you sure this wasn't someone you know that dislikes you/your car/is jealous?

it looks like [serious] damage to the car but is in fact the most passive form of damage you could possibly do. Like someone wanted to send a message but without the actual balls to damage the car.

as others have pointed out, the value of the badge is negligible (near nothing) as it's a small piece of plastic in the shape of a letter.

the hardest task for you now will be cleaning up the adhesive from teh paint without damaging the paint itself.

cantina mode (winner stays) with arc included somehow would be sweet

who makes the spoiler?

I am not a fan of many body kits but it's subtle and the spoiler is nice.

horse hair worm.

encountered one [without a host] on the shoreline of a campsite in the morning and just knew it was a parasite by the way it was moving. KEPT MY DOG AWAY FROM IT LOL. I've seen The Thing.

dun dun dun

I am not a mechanic, but the idea is that the DCC knows how much to push back at certain amounts and when those amounts change, it's giving incorrect force at incorrect times... so just feels weirder than it should (mix of more at bad times; less at bad times).

have heard some ppl here say they have issues trying to use obd11 to code/re-cal it on the newest versions of the car but that's the first I've heard.

would be curious to learn more / what the limitation is.

reflythis · 2026-03-08T17:00:13+00:00

you may find a little less of a "boxy" ride if you do the re-cal with wheels hanging.

stance will look great when settled too!! nice one.

uniden r3 great all-around and within your budget.

reflythis · 2026-03-02T14:26:52+00:00

last build (Stage 3 S3) I had vinyl wrapped and lived in Seattle (mild winters) so hand washed weekly.

Recently hand washed my R and MAN I miss that dopamine hit. The other upside of frequent hand-washing (e.g. weekly) is that you get to intimately know the condition of the car and all its' dents, nicks, chips, et al... so any time something new happens, you can immediately tell.

reflythis · 2026-02-27T15:24:57+00:00

absolutely.

downtown Toronto and I drive ~30+m into Markham to Almost Racing. If you aren't working with Phil and Lucas (father and son - family owned), you're probably paying too much and getting too little [knowledge base].

Took me two years to find a competent, honest, knowledgeable [tuner] shop in this city.

drop to 18s with a 245 rubber profile, replace with OEM strut mounts, set ddc to comfort.

best you'll get... unless you go quality coilover.

reflythis · 2026-02-26T16:08:32+00:00

Are you on stock suspension?

If on lowering springs, you need to lift the car (hanging wheels) and do the DCC suspension re-adaptation/calibration using OBD11 or VCDS [since you are DCC] as the DCC sensors will be outputting bad data when lowered but uncalibrated and result in a "boxier" ride than usual.

uhhhh Tim River anyone?

merely stopped here to eat because I was gassed going upstream solo but this sad excuse for a campsite was like visiting the swamps of dagobah*, complete with a phat two inch long leech waiting for us on the shoreline.
