I installed a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+

Very nice tires.

Much better than the crappy Bridgestone Potenza runflats I had on before.

Did front brakes today and got lucky as I managed to resurface front rotors. Went with OEM Textar pads, Meyle sensor. Full brake job for under $90. Got lucky after autoshop did the skimming for free as it took them a while and they felt bad. Fantastic guys and picked up some refreshments for them which was the least I could do.

I think if I were you, I would put the ones with more tread in the front so you can stop better. Just my 2 cents though!

Had my rear Mtech bumper installed with the CF diffuser and painted and installed my CF wing. It's now sitting on a batt charger for most of the winter as it snowed last night. Least it is clean!



I'll get some better pics come spring. I also am going to throw on some tips on the PE.

A couple weeks ago, I had my independent shop install a new pair of VRSF pipes and a used JB4 (purchased from a member here). I did have to take it back to the shop for them to realign one of the pipes as it was rubbing against the passenger side heat shield. Now there is about a quarter-inch of clearance. Sounds awesome and no more vibrations!

Wastegate is still ticking during cold startups. About a week ago, I tried to adjust the rear wastegate actuator rod but it is a bit rusty. I am going to spray it with some Liquid Wrench penetrating oil and try again this weekend.

Yesterday, I installed six new spark plugs and ran the JB4 USB cable to the glove box. In map 5, I was getting multiple misfires above 6,000 RPM. I am hoping the new plugs will cure the problem. If not, new coils will be next.

I also checked the indexes of my fuel injectors. I know one bank had been replaced but it looks like both have been updated as one bank is index 11 and the other is index 12. I also confirmed the fuel injector coding via INPA.

Later, I am going to confirm if the plugs cured my multiple misfire issues, check to make sure JB4 is running latest version and I also still need to change the rear end fluid.
