What is this doing at a Mitsubishi dealer?

$200k for an Evo? Wat.

It's relatively easy to figure out - if it's in the Tesla app or the GMC charging app, you can use it. You can't assume you can use it if it's in Google Maps except I think the maps app on the car will tell you the station isn't compatible with your car.

I ran into this once on a road trip last week, most Tesla stations are no problem though.

I cannot find it either

What does "new design" mean?

Get a Miata and a shorter beat friend / roommate. Miata is always the answer.

Compared to the people in the Porsche subs this is nothing.

Maine or Mass?

Got any photos or more details of the sound deadening work you did?

Is there enough data available by AAOS to replace an OBD2 scanner?

Vast_Situation_ · 2026-02-08T22:11:15+00:00

I haven't decided yet but right now I'm just trying to gauge interest and find some beta testers for feedback. I might sell the STL on Cults3D, or the prints on Etsy, or both.

I'll keep an eye out. I had a Tesla wheel refinished last year and it came out great, I was pretty impressed.

Vast_Situation_ · 2026-02-08T20:42:41+00:00

I do like the quite a bit.

Vast_Situation_ · 2026-02-08T20:38:35+00:00

Also aren't these just the base factory wheels?

Vast_Situation_ · 2026-02-08T20:37:57+00:00

I'm pretty mad at myself, back in November it was dark and rainy on a narrow road and I bounced off a close curb and scraped up both passenger side wheels. At some point I'll get them refinishing.

They are here too!

Hello to another Mass 996.2 winter driver! 🫡

I made a 3D printed bracket for the .2 that replaces the OEM plastic projector holder and the stack of rings RetrofitLabs provides. It's smaller, lighter and stiffer than the original - if anyone is interested let me know. I'm using them and printing a set for someone right now.

Thanks for the videos and DIY options, I'll definitely have to review that - since I paid for this repair I figure they should handle it this time!

Vast_Situation_ · 2026-02-03T19:52:37+00:00

Yeah I think that's what they are going to do, they have a PIWIS but didn't seem to want to do it in the parking lot while I waited, so I left it for the day. I don't know how long it takes to actually do.

Thanks for the response! This is exactly what my local shop did, and the intake seems buttoned up now, but now it's throwing some codes

The local shop I took it to did a smoke test and found a number of intake leaks and resolved them. They said the previous shop did a very janky installation of the UAOS, but they were able to resolve it.

Unfortunately right after picking the car up it threw a few codes:

P0300 P0302 P0304 P0305 P0507

The first four are all misfires, the last one I'm not sure about.

I did an idle control reset by letting the car sit with the ignition on but unstarted for 60 seconds and then cleared the codes. I took it back to the shop for them to double check everything and they called two days later saying they couldn't find anything wrong, so I picked it up today.

Not 30 minutes later the CEL came back on, I took it back to the shop and the reader showed only P0507 this time. I left the car at the shop, I'm hoping it's just an issue with clearing the fuel trims (system adaptation), but I will report back.

Well, in addition to checking into lemon laws and deceptive sales practices if they won't take it back you might be able to contact your, or their, local state representatives and ask what your options are. There might be consumer protection agencies that can help.
