Shouts out to EAS in Anahiem (CA) for installing my KW springs and spacers.
I will be uploading a YouTube video regarding my experience this week (if you're interested.

That second photo provides a great example of the distortion that a wide-angle lens incurs. Look at the size difference!

Finally put on the Autotechnik carbon fiber shark fin cover. Not a 100% flush fit given that it is attached via 3M tape but I think it looks pretty good.

How did you manage to use the push rivets supplied with the kit? Mine just wouldn't go in... so I bought some black blind rivets and used that instead. |

Got a link to what you used instead? I order some stuff from Amazon and the ones I got today aren't the right kind so I had to order yet another kind again in hopes they will work.

I just kept tapping them with a hammer until they finally broke through and went in. If I had to guess, it was probably 20 or so consistent taps. I definitely wasn't hitting on them hard. Just was patient with it.

It looked different than the stock pieces so I figured it wouldn't work. I used these blind rivets instead. Worked like a charm. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...E&gclsrc=aw.ds |

It was definitely much harder to install than my F87 ones. Those fasteners didn't give me any problems. |

Wow, I can see you're putting your G82 to good use!
The snow... definitely something I don't miss about MI. I've moved to the south about 5-6 years ago and I find it hilarious that when there's like 1/2" of snow on the ground, nobody comes to work lol. When I was in MI, no one was late to work even after we got a foot of snow overnight. |

True! I make better time between town and home on ice/snow in the dark in wintertime, vs. sunny afternoons in the summertime (damn tourists). Easy 60 mph vs. exasperated 45 mph. Main reason I got adaptive cruise control on this car!

Remus and mike@x-ph.com decided to tease me by giving me just the tips. I really wanted all of the hard pipes, loud groans, aggression, etc. but I got just the tips.

I switch off DSC any time I encounter accumulated snow, so tires can spin some to gain foothold on pavement. Otherwise it's DSC on and easy-does-it with steering and pedal inputs. Until it loses traction it behaves like a powerful RWD vehicle with wide tires (even if they're best-in-class winter treads). Treated with respect, it tracks straight and true. On the other hand, goose it lightly from a standstill for a quarter-second with the steering wheel canted, and it'll easily pivot ~90°. This reliably gets the car pointed in the right direction on slick surfaces, when front tires have limited low-speed grip and just tend to understeer. Handy for pulling out of snow-covered junctions and parking lot aisles. I haven't attempted prolonged drifts or lurid slides; that's reserved for experimenting on a frozen lake or ice-racing course (which I'm unlikely to encounter any time soon). But what I'm most curious to experience is handling deep snow. If it conquers the first/last half-mile from home, it'll be pretty invincible. |
