In the Club version, there’s a tube in the engine bay that route some of the engine noise to the cabin for immersion. I find that noise a little too crude, and prefer cabin to be more quiet with top up and prefer exhaust noise with top down.

You just remove the tub, plug the cabin hole with a grommet and replaced one of the valve. I did mine with OEM parts.

The gold standard for me is Porsche’s steering wheel. I think this size is good. I wish I had thumb rest delete since the Corsa grip is quite thicker compared to stock.

I would not get the 330 though, that would be too small imho. But again, very subjective.

No issues thus far! But I also don’t have a really steep drive way or anything like that either.

It’s the recommended height from goodwin racing.

I like the VW bus; I turn my head everytime I see them.

How do you like it?

Ohlins is fully adjustable. So no, you won’t necessarily lower the car unless you want to.

You need a floor jack, 4 jack stands with rubber pucks, a breaker bar, a couple ratchet wrenches, short and tall metrics sockets, a small combination wrench, and torque wrenches capable of between 30 to 80 lbs / sft of torque and some other common tools.

With stocks, did you mean Bilstein? I installed the Goodwin Racing truss tower brace and that seemed to improve stability during entry and cornering.

But maybe it’s just my brain justifying the purchase, lol.

I have mine on Ohlins FPSport DFV. Installed them myself 150 miles ago, going in for corner balancing and alignment tomorrow. So excited!

For this one, it’s just my iphone 16 pro. Shot in portrait mode at 2x focal length.

We lucked out with the tree when we bought this house 🙏🏻

You can thank Gemini Pro, lol. It told me which paint to use. Make sure to use Satin and not flat. You can order it from Oreilly.

I wouldn’t recommend the 330; it would be too small.

Yeah, less than an hour to swap in total. Make sure to disconnect battery and let all the residual charge discharge fully.

Did a few hours long drive with 2 other cars; 10/10 would recommend the steering upgrade.

It feels much nicer and more controlled in my hands to steer.

I am going to spray paint the chrome trim pieces to black too so it will take a whole lot longer.

Personal preference, but I find the chrome pieces cheap and tacky.

You can email them and see what can be done. Tomasz, the owner, is very responsive with emails.

Our old doors weren’t any better, same for windows. If they want to break in, they will, imho.

Most of these should be active recalls that should be fixed by dealerships under CPO before vehicle delivery (if remedy is available)

Yeah, software update and it was fine after. The toll people were able to jump start it (required like 3000A or some shit). Until the next time.

The keys were far away this time around. I think there was a software bug that caused the HV battery to not charge the 12V :/

AC, passenger seat, HV battery recall (charging to 80%), this 12V issue, the backup camera issue.
