    20x8.5 square Work Brombachers installed

    I had these on my previous X and had another set of adapters made so I could fit them on the Y. There were some delays with the anodizing so it took a little longer than I would have liked but the timing worked out since it's just starting to warm up. Tires are 255/40Z/20 Continental...

    AliExpress carbon fiber steering wheel

    Have yet to install, but these look like they're constructed well. They are HEAVY though 😂 They sent me a glossy version instead of the matte, so I had to return it and pray they would refund me. Crappy CS bot aside, they did what they said they would and I reordered the matte from another...

    Fftermarket heated steering wheel effectiveness compared to OEM

    Those of you with aftermarket heated steering wheels: how would you compare the heating element effectiveness to OEM? I use my heated steering wheel all the time, but just realized that the AE special heating quality may not be as good.

    DIY front window tint, the case for doing it yourself!

    Disclaimer, I don't know anything about window tinting! I've been wanting to tint my windows, but didn't really want to spend any money on it. Saw a precut 3M kit for $20 and spent another $10 on a cheapo squeegee kit. I figured worst case, I'd rip it off and sulk in the corner. The sun was...

    Why you should skip the powered frunk and grab a Satonic soft close frunk

    I have no affiliation with the company, 'm just a satisfied customer. For $60, this was totally worth it. Coming from an X with the EVOffer power frunk I knew that manually closing the hood every time was a pain. Prior to the power frunk we'd never open it unless we wanted to store something...

    15mm vs 18mm adapters on 20" inductions

    I'm making a set of adapters to run for an existing set of wheels I have. I am using the 20" inductions as a baseline since they are square. It looks like most people are running 18mm on the OEM inductions without rubbing? Does that sound correct? Or, is 15mm a safer bet? My car is slightly...

    Real world alignment specs

    I'm curious what people are seeing for their factory alignments and what they're seeing after an alignment. Mainly curious how much adjustment camber, caster, and toe adjustments are available from the factory. I see the specs, but don't see the range. Wondering if I'll be able to hit the...

    DIY headlight and foglight PPF

    I was toying with the idea of a frontend PPF for my new Y but ultimately decided that it wasn't worth spending 2k+. Instead, I compromised on DIY PPF for the headlights and foglights. Materials were inexpensive, I think I paid $40 shipped on eBay for 3M film. I spent about 2 hours installing...

    X-Care battery & drive unit warranty

    How do I unlock and open the driver door?

    Feel kind of silly having to even ask.. I know a 2x double press on the keyfob will open the door, but I just want to be able to manually open the door without the driver door flying open into traffic. Currently, when I walk up to the car and it unlocks and I press the door handle nothing happens.

    Keyfob unrecognized

    Has anybody else had their car randomly decide to not recognize the keyfob? I know the batteries are brand new, so that's no the case. I tried holding the key in the rear, lower door sill area. No dice. Finally popped the battery out and reset the keyfob and it worked again. Very odd.

    Here is some data on the combined wear of about 4500 miles on sticker Toyo tires with a factory alignment.

    6 seater has a decent amount of cargo

    Though, I still wish you could fold the front seats down. Thought I'd try to fit my trainer in the SUV before grabbing my truck. Would have fit if my sliding seat tilt motor wasn't broken 😆 It also turns out you can drive with the hatch open. It'll beep at you for a few minutes then it'll shut up.
