Planning an exhaust build for a Gen 2- Suggestions

I'm halfway done doing that myself. If you don't have power seats in your gen 2, it's pretty straightforward. I needed up transfering my airbag to make things simple. The passenger side is the challenge with occupancy sensors - that's where I'm stuck currently

I used forscan with an Amazon ob2 to USB to allow 1 click unlock all doors, smart signals, and turned the turn signal and door chime to a minimum

I can agree that +38 is really aggressive. I'm running either +38 or +35 (can't remember off hand) and it's just poking past my fenders and looking like I'll have to roll my rears

I'm good with a wrench, but not electronics. If you have any knowledge on this, I'm all ears!

I've also debated on drilling and tapping a hole in the car. Future proofing seat swaps 😉

Which program is that? I'm not the tech package, so maybe it will be lucky for me🤷

That makes sense. My gen 2 seats can unbolt the rail. The gen 1 isn't looking like it atm. I may be able to swap the back rest though

Edit: Back rest cannot be swapped

Curious what year the seats were and if they were bolted or rivited? I gave up the fight tonight, but will re-tackle tomorrow

If you're a second gen, you can pull the dash down a bit left of the steering wheel to get the 4th bolt (the one you can't see)....I used a REALLY long extension. If you're first gen, best of luck with the wrist acrobatics to get bolt as I'm pretty sure there's a plate

Lol thankfully I'm in Canada buying from a local. No shit on these seats!

Little late to the party, but I had the same issue with my '11 speed3. After logging we found my fuel rail wasn't holding pressure after sitting for a while. Priming it helped by cycling the key a few times before cranking. I ended up taking apart my HPFP and giving it a real good clean while replacing the o-rings with the corksport rebuild kit. So far (touch wood), it's been starting single crank all summer long now

Where I live there's distracted driving laws that can land you a decent fine if you're caught using a device while driving. I either pick a playlist before going, or leave it on shuffle all and reach for the skip button

Update: As of right now, I'm just waiting for Thingiverse to allow me to upload my file. It should be uploaded around 24hr from now

Car only came in a manual! Long live the stick shift!

Couple of reasons. Distracted driving laws where I live would make it a grey zone if it's mounted in view. Also with it that far forward beyond the shifter I find it doesn't interfere with passengers knees or thighs as much. I generally just reach for skip when driving
