Letitreign's never too late build thread!

^^^NICE!!

Do the 615Ks sing like a canary at speed, or did you not have the chance to get them out on the highway yet?
(The Federal RS-RRs DO, but I expected that out of a 'cut slick' type tread pattern, 200 tread wear tire. )

 

[letitreign]

Yea I haven't put them through the paces yet, but I'm expecting that they be a little louder than my pilot sport a/s 3's

I could never understand why Rick thought (and criticized) that the PS AS/3s were loud, as mine are dead QUIET to me on the factory wheels, in factory size.

Alignment can cause noise. Perhaps road surface? Concrete roads give off a high pitch whine on pretty much every tire for example.

Only asphalt up here - too many freeze/thaw cycles for concrete.

Lamin-X installed. Gave the girl a wash/wax, she looks meaner than ever!

It's never too late to build. I'm a father of two and constantly showing up to sites and meetings in my boyracer because I ain't care. Keep it up!

 

[shouldbeasy]

Looks like a completed theme and not just random items added to the car - love it!

Is this your only car? How is it doing in Canadian winter? I am about to buy one and the only thing that's mostly stoping me is that I'm scared that it will not do good at all with cold weather. I plan on modding it a little less than you though.

 

[shouldbeasy]

Get some winter wheels and make a rally car like me! Ha!

They do fine in the winter - even have nice heated seats!

What vehicle are you currently driving?

 

[Sherbrooke]

This is where people are going to call me crazy. I actually drive an RS, the thing is, I want to keep that car a very long time. So when there's snow, I don't mind taking the RS, but when there's only rocks and salt on the streets, I just dont like it.

 

[letitreign]

I drove the car last winter and it did great. Started right up, still had great driving characteristics in the snow. For this year, I've secured a winter beater.

A few small updates:

Got the back up camera installed. It's really subtle and very crisp, might be the best 11 dollars I've spent on this car.

[MENTION=1015]shouldbeasy[/MENTION] and I finally went cruising and he showed me the meaning of fast lol. Having fun in traffic:

A decent view I guess:

I think he probably meant what back up camera. Anyways, if he didn't, I'd like to know.

 

[letitreign]

I did, thanks for clarifying. Wow 12$ and it works that well? Was the install hard[emoji848]

Nope install wasn't hard. A little tedious as is the case with most wiring projects. There's a separate thread for it with a decent write up on how to do it.

A little sub & amp project with [MENTION=1015]shouldbeasy[/MENTION]

Everything tucks nicely under the sub-floor and does not obstruct the spare
