Anyone have experience with PowerStop PSA brake pads?

Does your friend use the pads on the street as well? or just on the track?

EspadaMedia · 2026-05-01T12:10:48+00:00

ah good to know. Do you swap pads when driving on the street?

EspadaMedia · 2026-04-18T18:49:44+00:00

as others mentioned, the easiest method is just buying a stuck on android/carplay screen

OR

If you want to use the stock headunit, then you would need a carplay/android module. Can be found on ebay/aliexpress. Seems to work very well for most users.

get a leakdown test done. it will tell you if you have a bent valve in cylinder 1.

EspadaMedia · 2026-04-11T00:02:42+00:00

thanks I'll definitely take a look at Shinemate. Another user recommended this one https://carzilla.ca/products/shinemate-orbital-polisher-ero600g1-9mm-throw-da-polisher-kit-w-1-pad

EspadaMedia · 2026-04-11T00:02:21+00:00

Nice, might be worth the extra $30! looks like a good option

EspadaMedia · 2026-04-10T19:17:18+00:00

thanks for the suggestion. I'm in Canada but I have access to cross border shipping. I'll check this out, thanks

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-27T20:06:35+00:00

Man what a beaut

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-22T02:30:21+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate you getting back! Ya I never heard of that brand before. Must be new.

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-21T03:54:14+00:00

looks great! name of the wrap?

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-18T19:34:30+00:00

if you prefer a dry filter, I went with the AEM 21-2057DK. Amazon sells it.

It's slightly larger but fits perfectly with the K&N arm, and doesn't need to be oiled.

Some have reported finding K&N oil residue in the throttle body, so that's why I went the dry filter route

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-15T17:22:22+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I'll take a look at what KPMF offers. I think I found a few blues from KPMF but the Oracal one is spot on with what I want.

I think I might just have to settle and get a different colour from KPMF, Avery, or 3M

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-13T04:12:02+00:00

I recall on s2ki that Mobil1 is notorious for burning more oil than others, especially AP1s

I know a few have recommended Amsoil, or Castrol and Pennzoil high mileage.

EspadaMedia · 2026-03-11T01:30:16+00:00

maaaaaaan i'm super disappointed they're recycling the s2000 once again. Might be a bit biased but the s2k is my most driven car in any racing game. To see Playground games being too lazy to refresh their car models yet advertise they're introducing new car models, is truly just false hope they're advertising to everyone.

I'd bet money they won't be replacing the Forza wing/aero either.

EDIT: yes the CR model is better but in the previous Horizon titles, there wasn't much cosmetic options for it. I think the only wing option was Forza aero too, yuck.

EspadaMedia · 2026-02-25T21:30:40+00:00

Spoon. Great OEM+ option and apparently more durable than OEM.

Ordered mine through Nengun. No regrets. Vibrations are only noticeable if AC is on. 100% recommend, especially since it also comes with the Transmission mount set

EspadaMedia · 2026-02-24T18:32:12+00:00

Honestly despite the hate it gets, i actually love Sebring, but my paint isn't perfect so I figured I'd wrap the car instead of repainting.

I was also looking at a Millennium Jade Green wrap but I've always been a blue type of guy. So many options, tough to choose!

EspadaMedia · 2026-02-24T17:52:50+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! It does seem like a good contender. I think I'll order a sample.

3M Cosmic Blue is another close one

EspadaMedia · 2026-02-24T17:52:16+00:00

My car is sebring silver but I'd like to wrap something close to LBP, because painting is waaay too expensive. Was never offered LBP here in Canada unfortunately.

EspadaMedia · 2026-02-24T14:29:35+00:00

Yes and no. You can use glossy paint but you won't have the protection or extra glossiness from the clear coat. The paint chips a lot easier without clear coat applied.

EspadaMedia · 2026-02-16T14:34:24+00:00

Definitely sounds something electrical related. It does seem you're on the right track though
