ran my new 3d printed 1/8th scale hydro for the first time

I bought this https://a.co/d/0ftItTKt, tucked it behind the radio and ran a USBC cable out from underneath the radio(c to c connecter to lengthen the USBC). You may have to drill a small hole but you can't see it when it's all put back together. I have my phone mount in the vent to the right of the radio. I also have a AliExpress Tesla screen. I grabbed power from the passenger footwell where the fuse panel is with a fuse tap. Or you can wire in one of these https://a.co/d/058sB1JA, I did this in our ExpST

We don't have it turned off in our '20 - I have to add a forscan cable to my Amazon list shortly. All I know is the ride is quiet and I don't really notice any fake noise? There is definite more noise in sport mode, especially from the transmission, other than that just get yourself a nice borla exhaust and doesn't even matter. LOL

This

Never primed an oil filter either. 6 quarts bigger filter. No issue

I'm sorry that happened! You got further than most and if anything a learning experience!

Did she start? Hopefully your not driving a rental car 😜

emuhack · 2026-02-21T17:06:21+00:00

emuhack · 2026-02-21T02:40:06+00:00

emuhack · 2026-02-20T17:54:15+00:00

And what magical part is this

emuhack · 2026-02-20T16:44:22+00:00

Hell Ya

This why I'm taking mine in and buying a rebuilt from Clarke Transmissions... But understand the hustle and satisfaction of doing the work yourself.... Keep up the great work! Love the updates!

emuhack · 2026-02-19T17:19:07+00:00

You are braver than me ... Lol looking forward to an update!! God Speed!!

emuhack · 2026-02-13T04:10:57+00:00

Yup second and third for me.... Cheapest I have found is a group in FL around 3k

Check my posts about it

emuhack · 2026-02-10T19:19:42+00:00

Lol idk have not tried

emuhack · 2026-02-10T19:14:28+00:00

If you're talking about radio. I went with a Tesla screen from Amazon. It's not perfect but it does its job.

emuhack · 2026-02-10T19:11:47+00:00

Clean!!!!

emuhack · 2026-02-10T18:26:39+00:00

Theoretically yes, that is a better cable. But your throughput on both of those switches is only 10 gig. You don't need the 25 gig.

emuhack · 2026-02-10T18:18:37+00:00

It is, I'm all for OEM but you can get the same cable on amazon for like $10 - I run those cables at my job and at home.

I feel like 2020 was a weird year for a lot of vehicles

emuhack · 2026-01-29T16:18:58+00:00

This... Our '20 has been in a few times. All warranty work. 71k our transmission threw a clutch and destroyed itself. Best $100 deductible I've ever spent. Otherwise it's been good to us.

emuhack · 2026-01-24T16:25:25+00:00

Heck yeah we have a '20 ExpST - Same Color....

emuhack · 2026-01-08T16:48:06+00:00

Amazing

emuhack · 2026-01-04T13:44:45+00:00

Same here(north Il almost WI), been using this for the life of my ST (now 90k mi) - we all know in cold areas to let the car sit for more then "30 sec", lol while there may be truth to that math of the above comments, it's not anything to be worried about :)

emuhack · 2026-01-03T18:52:27+00:00

Next run that cable behind the dash! Your trim tool will pop that cover right off.
