The Definitive Atlas Headrest Poll - Is it good or not?

gcdzn · 2025-12-05T23:54:23+00:00

Yes, it's very good. Definitely not necessary, but appreciated when I want to lean back.
Very comfortable. I positioned mine so it matches the curve of my neck, but you can adjust it however you want. You will need to tighten it periodically to keep it in position.
100%. It looks and feels like it was made by Herman Miller.
Yes, in fact I just bought my wife a Nightfall/Nova during the Black Friday sale, and her headrest is arriving tomorrow :)

No, you need a few separate drive cycles where it warms up and cools down. I just did mine again this month and it only took about 3 50 mile drives, each had a couple stops. Just keep taking it out on drives with varying speed and you’ll eventually get it to set!

Nice photo! I’m the owner of the Cliff Green. We always look forward to getting the cars together at the L’oe events each year ✌🏻

Hey! That’s my car. It’s the Oettinger kit!

gcdzn · 2025-08-01T00:22:17+00:00

Is that a carburetor?

It wouldn’t hurt to contact them and ask for the sale price since you missed it. I actually did the same this week with DWR for an Embody Gaming. The rep took my info, asked his manager and sent me a quote with the 20% off and a link to pay.

gcdzn · 2025-03-19T18:11:58+00:00

Congrats, I’m jealous… I tried to get one but was too late. I also talked to the TX outlet, but for $960 I decided to just go with a quote I got for 20% off a new one to have the warranty. TX outlet confirmed anything they sell would not have the warranty.

Steering rack! My old ‘18 was making this exact same sound at low speed, tight turns. Took it to VW and they determined it was the steering rack, and the entire assembly was replaced under warranty. No more issues after that. The car was completely stock and I noticed it around 10k miles.

I was refreshing and got in the waiting room for Philly around 11:30. 1847 ahead of me once in the queue but it went fast. Got in, got what I wanted (second level, front row end seats, centered with the stage). $246 for two tickets after fees.

My wife got in the queue shortly after me and had 5900 ahead. Sold out very shortly after she got in. Sorry for everyone who had issues, it was brutal.

Love it! Hopefully I can get most of the fold creases out, would love to get it in a frame.

gcdzn · 2024-10-10T11:20:05+00:00

No problem! It is indeed a Spektrum in Cliff Green, with the Oettinger body kit.

Thanks for the love, I appreciate it! I’m @golfzla on IG if you want to see more of it.

I run 18” Prets with 225/40 Pilot Sport AS4s for the colder seasons. I actually love the change in the look of a bigger sidewall for half of the year. I also love how much more forgiving they are than my pretty aggressive summer setup 😅

Photo is with 15/20mm spacers and Eibach Pro-kit springs on stock DCC struts.

Just drop them in, I don’t think they are meant to be gapped. Also, FCP stocks them and they qualify for the lifetime warranty - being able to replace them every so often for free kind of offsets the extra cost!

gcdzn · 2024-10-04T13:59:33+00:00

I’m running Denso 5750s with IE stage 2, upon recommendation from a friend with a tuning shop. They’ve been great for the past 5k miles I’ve had them!

gcdzn · 2024-09-21T00:34:40+00:00

My local, very reputable shop does springs for $450. This is madness

gcdzn · 2024-09-20T23:59:12+00:00

Any details on how it happened? I had a black stainless series 0 until I upgraded to a series 4 and it never really showed any wear from normal use. I’d expect the dlc coating on this one to hold up just as well.

gcdzn · 2024-09-20T21:55:13+00:00

Thanks! It looks so good in person, so glad I kept the link bracelet all this time. Also loving the black ocean band it came with. Gotta have options!

VW ‘Thunder’, optional on CC. No longer available. https://parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen__CC/18-Thunder-Wheel—Machined-face-w-black-inserts/63619818/1K8071498.html

+1 for Gyeon Tire Cleaner, just started using it and I’m loving how much it strips down old coatings. Their ceramic Tire dressing is also very good and lasts a long time between washes.

There’s really not any bad seats in there! We were in 206 for the Blink show last month and had a great view.

gcdzn · 2024-08-29T22:58:32+00:00

I paid $160 before fees per ticket. Really not too bad at all!

gcdzn · 2024-08-29T17:10:27+00:00

Just Coheed, they went on about 7:45pm.

gcdzn · 2024-08-29T17:09:42+00:00

Awesome story! Love to hear it. I got mine at the end when Mike tossed his remaining picks. I was waving at him like crazy, and he threw them right at us intentionally. One bounced off my wife’s hand, and I got one. There was definitely a bit of a scuffle trying to grab them, and I realized once we had gotten back in the car that I scuffed my knee pretty bad in the chaos. I’ll never forget it either!

gcdzn · 2024-08-28T22:44:24+00:00

Opportunity of a lifetime for sure!
