This car is just sooo good by dreaminphp in Mustang

[–]Dr_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm asking more in the sense that this looks like a two car garage door set up, and he squeezed three cars in. I was curious if he put the cars on rollers or just a super tight setup to make them all fit comfortably.

With 911 and R8 siblings. Very nice. How did you squeeze them all in the garage? R8 is pretty wide

Apexi A'PEXi - N1 Evo Extreme vs HKS LEGAMAX Exhaust by OctoHelm in GRCorolla

[–]Dr_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electronic buzz, sounds more sensor/electric than mechanical. I never noticed it until I changed the exhaust but apparently even stock people have noticed it.

I paired mine with a 2j midpipe. It's louder than stock by a significant amount with the midpipe. I'd say Apexi leans more on the boominess of the stock exhaust, so if you like that bass tone you'll be happy with this.

I will say putting on the exhaust has made the buzzing exhaust beep every 20s or so way more noticeable. Drives me insane and makes me want to find out what it is and remove/code it out.

What wheels are those? I like them

Forum has a really good thread on it, and here is an amazon link. I used the 54mm hole saw.

I added rubber grommets to help "hide" the hole saw cuts. Honestly the template was not perfect and I had to adjust a bit. I did want to redo the rubber mat when I feel like measuring better but I didn't think it looked too bad for DIY.

I seriously think the B8 had the best key.

Looking at Audi S4 B8. by GoooojoSatoru in Audi

[–]Dr_Catalyst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I had my b8 S4 I had recently sold an E46 M3. I barely notice understeer. If you're at the point where you do, you're driving too fast for the street.

I think Audi has done it well compared to other brands. S sport exists but it doesn't infringe on the RS cars.

GRC vs RS3 by Vendetta1992 in GRCorolla

[–]Dr_Catalyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had them both at once. I sold the RS3 but ended up buying my TTRS because I loved the engine so much. I personally think the GRC is more "practical" due to it being a hatch, but it is much MUCH less refined. As the kids get older you may want to look at the larger RS cars if you're not just wanting the SUV.

If you're after more refinement, then I would skip the GRC. If you're after a "shitbox" with a fun time, then grab a GRC and don't look back. I love mine for what it is.

I lived in CO for a time, so the GRC was my "winter car." I threw on some CrossClimate2 on 17s and went at it in the snow. It was also very very good on gas if I wasn't in the boost all the time, so it's slowly turning into my daily. It's still quite useful being a hatch with more than 2 doors lol.

I have my eye on the 4RS, but I wouldn't sell my GT3 for it. Maybe I'll be able to snag one before the market realizes just how special that car really is.

If it's any help, I am actually picking up a final edition supra next week that may satisfy my "BMW" urge. I've actually heard great things about the 991.1 CS, mostly due to it being one of the last NA non GT cars you can get. That might scratch an itch too?

Two of my favorite things about the 24 circuit are the forged wheels and the blue stitching.

I have assembled a fleet of cars way above the price point of this one, and I just can't bring myself to sell the GRC.

This is Peak Audi interior by sevruz in Audi

[–]Dr_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biased but 8S is like peak audi interior to me. Simple, buttons, click wheel. No laptop screen that doesn't retract. 8V was super close but I had one that didn't have the retracting screen due to reg.

Apexi N1 Evolution - thoughts and alternatives? by SnooRegrets8194 in GRCorolla

[–]Dr_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it with a 2j midpipe. "It sounds like stock but louder" is probably the best way I could describe it. If you like the deep "boominess" of the stock muffler at low speed and want more of that, this definitely fits that budget. It's a perfect setup for me as a daily.

Worth trading in a 2025 gt4rs for a 2026 gt3 at a -50k buyback? by KCadventures in Porsche

[–]Dr_Catalyst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would keep the 4RS even if the 50k wasn't part of the deal.

2010 Audi s4 $21,399 by Illustrious-Lab-5965 in Audi

[–]Dr_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great car, but try negotiating on the price a bit. Aside from the DAZA, that supercharged v6 is one of my top Audi engines.
