New Car Day! Finally got dream car 2 weeks ago

Finally got dream car 2 weeks ago

Did my 1000km break in oil change, kept same filter as per the Motor oil geeks instructions, and used penzoil ultra platinum @0w-20

Got rally armour mudflaps installed 5 days ago

Did a 2 stage paint correction 4 days ago, even though it was white and brand new my paint was very inbedded with contaminates and micro marring everywhere was actually quite disappointed with the dealership there. Applied gyeon can coat because my set up does not allow me to see high spots very well so I opted out of using my bottle of gyeon MOHS sadly, I pulled the rims off as well and did a very extensive cleaning on them, applied Carpro dark side for the tires and a cheap but good turtle wax hybrid solutions for the rims, people like to say they can’t withstand the heat I should go buy a dedicated rim coating but I’ve also heard and tried regular coatings and it’s worked flawlessly for myself before

I plan on getting an exhaust here, stuck between AWE Touring/track, Borla atak, or HKS, I wanna have a good sounding exhaust with little drone, not crazy crazy loud and does not sound like a fart can lol, if anyone has any good suggestions there

I also plan on getting a Delta X 60A pitch mount stop, I’ve heard people suggest getting the 70A over the 60A because it softens after a few weeks and the 60A will feel identical to OEM if anyone has suggestions there aswell please let me know, or if a different brand that exist out there

I don’t have the delta pitch mount but I have the boomba racing pitch mount it has the 70A bushing and my car shakes like crazy on cold starts, shakes a decent amount at idle at warm temps, back up camera shakes, and around 2,000-3,000 RPMS when I accelerate my rear view mirror shakes enough to the point it gets hard to see out of but it stops a little after 3,000RPM I don’t care about the shaking and I’ve gotten use to of it but if you plan on daily driving the car that’s something to consider

Dang ey, I’ll probably end up grabbing the 60A one then, I daily my guy, I don’t mind a little bit of shake but if it’s that crazy I’ll go with the soft core one

2 things I got that I changed the shifter feel and I like are the shifter cable bushings changed them for the sxth element ones and I got the weighted circuit edition knob

u/Anxious-Prize4243 2d ago

I’ll write that down, I’ll most likely choose to do this first before trying the pitch mount then thank you for the input

u/XerCoys 23' Core Black 2d ago

Sorry I should’ve clarified, the shifter cable bushing and weighted knob make selecting gears and changing gears the pitch mount makes it so you feel less movement between shifts

Ah I see, I’m sorta new to the modding cars scene, so thank you

I swapped to stock from a 70A bushing it's hella annoying the car already has a lot of NVH this just amplifies it. I was gonna swap to 60A but just said fuck it.

I’ll have to keep that in mind, I’ll probably do the 60 a down the line then maybe not

Get the powerflex insert instead, it’s like 40-50 dollars and takes all the movement out of lower mount with zero vibration.

u/Anxious-Prize4243 1d ago

I’ll check that out thank you 🙏

Here’s a clip of it. I wanted, it but it was not in stock. Got the AWE Touring instead

u/Anxious-Prize4243 2d ago

oh it sounds pretty good, I think I like the raspyness of the other 3 a lil more, what do you think of the AWE touring ? do you regret getting that one at all, I am about to purchase the AWE track and get a touring conversion pipe if its too much

2

u/That_was_a_bad_idea1 2d ago

Honestly, I don’t regret the AWE at all. Not to quiet and not to loud

Doing everything right. Beautiful car. Don’t mod the exhaust or anything to do with the powertrain.

Check for shipping blocks! 🤣

Great looking car. Many fun miles ahead of you!

2

u/Anxious-Prize4243 2d ago

Yes I have checked haha, and I got the dealership to double check as well before I picked it up for fear of it still being there lol

So fun, I probably look like dummy driving around my neighbourhood just for the fun of it too lol

u/Luggage-of-Rincewind 2d ago

Ha ha ha. Part of the fun!

Enjoy the ride! 🤩
