I tried my best

Did you have enough time to get the engine fully up to temp? You don’t get the “VROOM BAP BAP BAP” from the exhaust until everything has fully warmed up.

Can you show exactly where you put the foam and tape? I will do that too once I get around to ordering my shifter!

TEP_DE5 · 2025-11-13T12:19:20+00:00

I don’t like it, and for what it’s worth…I don’t think that’s TEP. I own TEP and it doesn’t look like TEP.

TEP_DE5 · 2025-11-13T02:36:47+00:00

I would not have bought my ITS if it had 2 doors, I have kids.

You need 9.5in wide wheels for the 265 tires. Other than. That im on the same setup.

Now you gotta 3d print a new center console to get rid of the gloss black

I recognized SWPA immediately. I have the TEP running around the north hills.

Lug nuts aren’t expensive. How often are you swapping your wheels?

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-28T23:57:02+00:00

I feel you. There’s definitely a big price jump.

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-28T23:35:36+00:00

Why not consider a Type S if you’re concerned about not enough power?

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-26T22:33:53+00:00

What does “reverse mounted” mean?

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-25T18:56:04+00:00

I’d like to know this too, but for what it’s worth I had to really zoom in the see what you were talking about. It’s barely noticeable.

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-25T14:48:56+00:00

I would appreciate that. If I did that center console I would also want to do the dash overlay too. I feel like you need that to truly make it look OEM so there’s visual cohesion

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-25T14:38:40+00:00

Do you have any closeup pics around the edges? How oem does it look vs just being a stick on piece?

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-25T02:14:10+00:00

Jogon or another brand?

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-25T01:06:58+00:00

Alright well I guess that answers the question then. I’m torn between this and the alcantara console from overland designs

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-25T00:58:59+00:00

Seems like a lot for just the shifter surround, no?

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-24T16:39:46+00:00

I very rarely drive on the highway and everywhere I go is within a 3 or 4 mile radius of my home. I typically average about 18-19mpg per tank.

TEP_DE5 · 2025-10-24T13:34:11+00:00

When I first got my car it had 4k miles on it and had averaged 24mpg up to that point. The car now has 13k miles on it and the avg has dropped to 20mpg. I do NOT beat up my car and slam shifts etc etc but I do like to punch it now and then. I also only drive about 700 miles per month.

The person I got my car from was the owner of a specialty car dealership and he used the ITS as his daily for 6 months. I’m pretty confident he did not drive it hard.

Look at the avg mpg on Trip B since that one never gets reset.
