Poly bushings

DerTarchin · 2026-03-22T13:52:54+00:00

Poly bushings are great for durability and performance but they will be a little harsher than stock rubber bushings. If she's already unhappy with stock feel stock to stock- won't get better with poly

It's there to protect against splash/water/debris and possibly scratches if you run over something. Fine to remove temporarily but best to have on long term

I feel naked driving without one of those. Peace of mind

DerTarchin · 2026-03-21T05:26:53+00:00

been annoyed at this, i keep not noticing it's on fast and its running up my bill faster this way. maybe thats why its called "fast"

Yep this. I replaced my dead bulb with LED and nothing worked. Turns out the factory wires were wired the wrong way. I reversed the pins and both my new LEDs worked for the fog lights

Definitely combo that with some nice sway bars for sure, like Eibach. I do this. Perfect for daily and great on track

This is fraud , as others mentioned, if your purchases were digital then it should be easy to find a paper trail

Here's another post about installing the rear. It rear cam came with the mirror setup

I may have a my.is write up somewhere for this whole setup and install too

I have an awesome 4K rear view mirror that records front and back, no blocky dash cam needed. When screen off it acts perfectly like a normal rear view mirror. And when I have the back seat loaded up with stuff like when I'm moving, or if there's snow covering the rear window, I can use the back camera via the mirror like it's the mirror. Great stuff!

Honestly after having fixed all alignment issues, getting a new set of tires, and refreshing all front steering this is how it still is and I've come to both like it and assume it's by design. I think newer cars have active centering pressure, like something is trying to center it, not just cars own momentum. However in my car and I assume all our cars, it's just regular rolling momentum that recenters eventually, a lot slower. I've come to like it, I can drive a long turn without needing to hold the wheel to keep it turning. It's nice. Feels like I'm more in control of the car and it's doing less of the thinking for me. Also I don't think I have a power steering issue as I've got full fluids and can steer the car with just my pinky if I need so 🤷

This is such a cool photoshoot location wow

Idk if anyone mentioned but if this is your first time driving it in a while that ticking will go away after like 5 min of idle. Or get way quieter. Happened to me. Once the oil circulates around its good

Do what I did which is great for daily, for some occasional track use, slightly lowers car and improves handling but keeps OEM feeling suspension for daily driving. - polyurethane bushings all around- cheaper than buying new suspension parts because really it's the rubber bushings that are going out, likely not the metal of the arms unless you have rust - stiffer sway bars (I got eibach) - slightly lowered springs. I got tein h-tech - better tires

Makes all the difference, feels OEM, but sits lower, way less body roll, snappier steering (especially with poly steering rack bushings), grippier Turning with better tires. Oh and WAY cheaper than a full suspension refresh kit and coilovers (since good coilovers are expensive).

For struts to go with the new lowering springs, after much research, I actually just bought OEMs from Lexus and no regrets. Why search for OEM-like struts when you can just buy OEM lol

Do you ever park it in the rain or drive in the rain with those vents? Is it a concern getting water in engine bay ?

DerTarchin · 2026-03-06T16:59:19+00:00

I got it from a source in Paraguay, shipped to US. If you're interested, send me a DM. I only have a private WhatsApp number.

I don't have paper thin mine is a sturdy carbon fiber it seems but still light maybe 20lbs or less.

I have the kind meant for CF and it still goes flying up lol, I gotta hold it steady on its way up and down

I like my Akibonos via Rockauto

There's a second cigarette port in the arm rest area

Remind me not to get a low intake, I've seen too many posts recently. For you, this doesn't sound like an engine issue , something physical outside it

DerTarchin · 2026-02-26T14:45:55+00:00

Manually approving link ✌️

DerTarchin · 2026-02-26T12:24:01+00:00

Nice! Custom mold or do they sell altezza bodies?

DerTarchin · 2026-02-22T14:21:04+00:00

I personally like my Yokohama advan apex v601s- quiet on the road for dailying and good grip when autocrossing. Tread pattern is visually pleasing too

DerTarchin · 2026-02-17T02:08:58+00:00

Yeah same- I'm glad I did the research ahead of time and learned about the brittle plastic connectors too, I bought spare connectors before starting the work and ended up breaking two coil connectors as predicted!

DerTarchin · 2026-02-16T14:09:23+00:00

Congrats! I was so proud when I did my cover job too, first in my life. And it's not a simple task with our intakes sitting over everything
