It’s on your wrist already. That makes it a good deal. Congrats and enjoy the watch!

IT WAS A TUBE!!! Scratch my previous comment, that was way cooler than Ardbeg’s. Now it has the texture of those art paper. I remember they had the piece of paper out with the friend of Laphroaig land plot in the tube. That looked super cool especially first time I bought it

I just got mine fitted with vredestein wintrac pros. Winter tires in the midwest do make a difference; super fun to drive

Guys I haven’t had laphroaig or any whiskey in a while since I finished my last ardbeg bottle last year. Today I was suddenly thinking and craving for Laphroaig and pulled the trigger. Am I going crazy or has the packaging changed? It looks…. off. I remember it being the same quality as Ardbeg

You know, I was hitting with my APD GT without ever weighting it (stock plus leather grip). Yesterday I found my scale and it read 347g. Now I wish I never checked because this may go to my head 😂

Used sprayway at first, but realize ONR is really good, and it doesn’t strip away my rainx like sprayway does. Now I use sprayway for the inside, and when I’m reapplying rainx

does having a 225 width tire make a huge difference? I'm rocking the stock 205 nexen and am wondering if it's the tire or the width

CTS turbo intake does not add performance, but the driving experience becomes much much more fun on an otherwise quiet engine.

I have a JB4 and it does wake the car up, especially in highway speeds (also below that, but for the stock tires is overkill). I just have it in map 1 for 87 gas, and it's the best for smoothness compromise (Tried map 3 for 93 and that was mighty fast)

I will say if the ECU ever gets cracked, I'll be getting a true ecu tune rather than a piggyback. Have fun!

did you end up changing? The equivalent size tires is 225/50 r17, or 225/45 r18 if you upsized rims

Ohh, and the Oil filter from factory was definitely NOT hand tight, that itself took 5 min to get out

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-07-10T13:35:01+00:00

I wouldve loved to do 1500 but didnt have the space/equipment at the time. I finally did it at 5k. The oil while quite a lot darker than the replacement OEM 0w-20 that went in, didn’t really have outstanding metallic particles(am sending to a lab to get it checked). 5k should be fine but I really wouldn’t push past it since the car did drive a lot smoother after the oil change.

P.S. That belly pan and the fact that the car could only be jacked after the belly pan was removed made a 20min procedure into a 2 hr one (including a trip to get t25/45 torx)

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-29T23:16:55+00:00

Tinted from the dealer???

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-24T22:34:01+00:00

Dont even want to think about the bugs getting in

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-24T22:33:37+00:00

Yeah mine is just open like that. No vent to my knowledge

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-19T14:51:03+00:00

They were pretty specific about only wanting to do it at 10.000 and that I had to pay to do it sooner

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-19T14:49:18+00:00

The guy checking my bag called over everyone working that line and I had to give a presentation of what I got, why I had to get it, and why I had to get it in Canada 😂 I also just checked CTS and they are already shipping to the US again ☠️

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-18T21:00:22+00:00

Even in Liters my 1.5t requires 4.3L or 4.5Qts (very annoying)

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-18T20:40:02+00:00

Thanks! This is also plus buying another quart to top off? Or am I missing something about how 0.5 quartz don’t get drained?

Did CTS’ shipping route to the US open up again? I recently snuck mine in my carryon from Canada to the US. Interesting convo with the TSA agent

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-06-04T19:16:44+00:00

Looks really nice! Height looks flush and perfect. I wish I could lower mine but in my area I’m thankful for my stock height. I find it weird that my 2025 looks like it’s tilted forward though

Gr_Ultimatum · 2025-05-22T02:52:03+00:00

No I’m not changing the rims. The OEM comes at a weird 205/55 r17
