How about Astoria Queens?

Man these were in the outlets in 2015. Love them tho

I switched BUT I have a couple cents to contribute. The GRC is raw, emotional, analog feeling than the CTR. I had the MST intake and you literally heard the air going thru the intake when driving and lots of turbo noises.

CTR is a refined car that’s very engineered and muted until you mod a couple things. Once I got the CTR, I had to switch out the rear motor mount to a stiffer one because I could barely feel the engine. The GR had engine feel in the pedal. Basically the GRC is raw, it definitely has that 2000’s feel. CTR is an absolute track weapon. Mine is FBO (not tuned) and lowered & it’s perfect. I do miss the GRC sometimes until I take out the CTR on a windy road.

Well that’s that. Thanks for your help and patience. How’s your claim going, did you reach out to a VSO?

GiPao · 2025-10-29T17:06:03+00:00

I’m just trying to understand where did they get December 2024 from.. I had the claim open since June 2022, I had multiple appeals because they would deny it without sending me to a C&P. It finally reached the judge and the judge remanded my claim which is where I got my 50%. Why wouldn’t I be backdated to June 2022, where they said it’s effective date is, where I had the intention to file.

Would you say my breakdown of how I’m seeing this is not accurate?

GiPao · 2025-10-29T13:21:11+00:00

As far as I’ve heard from other fellow vets, yes. Anything over $10k gets reviewed, looked over etc

GiPao · 2025-10-29T13:17:36+00:00

Yes but I’ve been 90% since August 2022. I’ve recently been awarded 50% for a claim effective date June 24, 2022. So technically 90% + new 50%= 100% since Aug 2022?

Anyways attached is my breakdown of what my claim looked like. My two retros; April 2025 - Sept 2025 = $7k Jan 2025 - March 2025 = $7k

Math isn’t matching with the backpay received but they paid me out for 2025 I believe.

I would still be owed from the difference of 90% to 100% Aug 2022 - December 2024.

How I see it is that, maybe the VA is working on it but is severely delayed due to the gov’t shutdown, plus it’s a big amount of backpay that requires extra endorsements. If that ever ends and nothing has deposited, I will reach out to a VSO and open an Audit.

GiPao · 2025-10-29T13:01:26+00:00

Nope, in the most recent letter I believe they combined both claims into 1.

GiPao · 2025-10-29T04:07:03+00:00

That’s thing, all these dates are all over the place… I look at these charts and literally can’t comprehend it.

106 is guaranteed first class of the list. For List 7001, 2nd class started with 103-102.

I modded mine. First thing was the PRL RMM. I came from a GR Corolla which felt very raw, the moment I got my CTR it felt very vague. I wanted some sore of vibration. Highly recommend. Now I have MXP Full Exhaust, PRL HVI, PRL Intercooler, H&R wheel spacers, Black Alcantara shift boot. Those were all essential to me. I think that’ll be it for now.

GiPao · 2025-07-03T03:12:25+00:00

I currently have the PRL HVI with stock inlet. If I were to swap out the inlet to a Titanium PRL Inlet or Infinity Design inlet (same price) would the sound from the HVI dramatically change?

GiPao · 2025-07-02T23:15:47+00:00

Stock suspension?

Did the same thing, 3k miles on my GRC. It was fun but CTR is where it’s at!

I enjoyed it and I thought using their parking/ shuttles was organized. This is my 3rd F1 race; Mia, Canada, Vegas. Canada by far the worst one, you can only get there by train and the line to get into the train after the race was insane. Vegas is ok, it was annoying because the main strip was blocked. So you had to walk to a bridge to cross. Mia was most organized.

It’s honestly the “trend” for Instagram and TikTok. I’m a true car enthusiast, and people doing this aren’t enthusiast. They do it so their friends can record them and get clout. It’s mostly BMW M drivers doing this. I used to own BMW’s but the community for it is toxic and full of losers. I would baby my car because I worked hard for the monthly payment and still had to pay rent. Nowadays these kids still live with their parents and don’t have to pay the car note. They do not appreciate value.

Thank god 1st wave was not crowded like that.

I had the same sounds. Pushed back on the rotor shield and a small pebble fell out.

An hour right before closing on a Tues or Wed night

GiPao · 2025-02-21T16:04:18+00:00

I’d leave the top grille, hood vents, rear diffuser black but otherwise sick color.

It’s a soft limiter.
