How do you get airflow numbers? Dyno was done last year, but curious how to estimate.

Just ordered Conti purecontact LS to replace OEM Michelins, have 54,000 miles on Michelins, new rubber time :)

Use sct livelink and add airflow #/min to your config file

Didn’t know we were competing, I gotta pump up my “Arnold Suit” jk jk. The shine is good!! What don’t you like about it and what did you use previously that you liked more?

It claims to be a ceramic coating.

I honestly saw no difference over clay. I wanted a deep glassy look...but I guess I need more clear coat for that.

Its like...when you see a smoking hot girl just getting out of the pool, all wet and glistening...and then she dries off. Still hot, but...not AS hot as before. You know?

It's going to come down to the foundation of the paint for you to get that "glassy" look and judging from the pictures, you could use a good polish. If you don't want perfection, a good AIO is Blackfire One Step and it produces really good results. You need the paint looking "wet" first and then a good LSP will help enhance/preserve it.

A good correction and a good polish is what sets the wow factor. When it cools off, I will ceramic coat my SHO again. I actually have an Avalon King Kit sitting in the garage.

I wanted to start a thread for everyone to post those little or maybe even big things we do with our cars everyday. Could be something as small as "I washed my car today" or maybe something a little bigger like "here's a picture of my new tint" or maybe something even bigger like, "check out my new pair of turbo's".

It help keeps me excited about my car and sometimes it gives me some pretty good idea's!

I really enjoy reading and seeing pictures of those little things we all do to our rides, but I know sometimes we don't feel like taking the time to start a new thread/post.
Today I had one of my old subwoofers installed. It’s an Alpine SWR-12D4. I used to have two installed in my last car but quite frankly it was overkill. A single 12 in a ported box added the bass I was looking for, just enough but not overkill. The mids and highs seem alright with the Sony system but if I upgraded anything else it would be the mids.

Nice quality sub, what did you use for signal? A line out converter tapped from the rear speakers? Did you use a DSLR

I love the different jargons for different lines of work. You say dslr, and I assume you refer to some kind of wire. But for me, dslr, stands for digital single lens reflex, aka, a digital camera with detachable lenses.

Yes a line out converter was used to tap into the signal. Unless if you already have an aftermarket radio then you typically have to use one to take it from the factory signal. I’m not sure where they tapped it from but the last time I installed it myself I tapped into one of the wires on the door speakers. I don’t remember which wire it was exactly as I did it years ago but that’s where I got the signal from

I never checked the auto correct.. or I was thinking of something else haha. I meant to say did you use a dsp after the oem amp for a signal.

Thanks for the catch.

Gave it a quick wash today. Starting to see some rust on the calipers so now I’m thinking about getting the rust off and painting them blue. My gf wants me to do red but I want to hear your guys thoughts too.

You do you. Everyone else be damned... seriously though, Ford blue or the likes would work well with the color of the car.
