Thanks for the kind words everyone

Unfortunately due to registration/title timeframe I won't be able to bring the car to the track day to race, big sad :(
It's kind of short notice, but if you can find a trailer I can pull it. I'm loading my bike in the back of the truck so will be able to pull a trailer as well. Even have an electronic brake controller. Would just need to unhook the trailer once at the track so I can get my bike out.

Thats incredibly nice of you, I actually have a backup vehicle that I will be coming with to race with that could also be able tow the car lol and is just as fast (or pretty close)

I think I'll be ok waiting to race this thing, I need to do some independent testing in mexico to make sure everything is good to go

Edit- whoops I read that backwards, yea no trailer, but thats not a big deal per above, thanks again though!

Thanks to COVID for the delay, still haven't been able to get the car registered... crossing my fingers something shows up soon

In the meantime, I bought catless midpipes the other day to go along with the sport exhaust. Car also has a IE carbon fiber intake. Should be enough in the sound department for lots of smiles!

Here is what the car will sound like with the exhaust setup, o m g -

Yup, dogbone upper and lower insert and mount installed, rear subframe mounts and the cat deletes are in

Also, just got a test 18" wheel in today from Canadia, was already planning on going to 18s, bonus noticed the driver rear OEM 19 is bent a tad, nice of the dealer to notice when they swapped out the summers for winters that I'll just permanently leave on the stockers (both rear summers had tiny bubbles) The OEM tires are rubberbands for being factory, its hard to belive. My TTS had more sidewall on the 19s LOL

Set of 18x8.5 ET 35 wheels have been purchased

Grabbed one to test fit, if it didn't work well visually was gonna be keep as a spare (RS3 has no spare tire or kit...), wasn't sure how gray on gray was going to work but the shading is enough contrast to work, well at least to my eyes lol

18.1 lbs plus smaller tire, gonna save like ~10 lbs a corner pretty wild. Picking up the test one it is easily felt versus stock

Wheels are here, this is concave style 1, unfortunately the deeper concave doesn’t come in 5x112, but still like them. Definitely happy with an “affordable” 18” alternative that isn’t neuspeeds. Would prob have those if these weren’t available. Tire situation on 18s is now a sorta headache for sizing

After seeing what the PS4S tires look like on IDAFC21 IDAFC21 18x8.5 wheels in 235/40/18, pulled the trigger on the same size but in the PSAS4s which run even larger than the industry normal, nearly the size of 245/40/18 in some and not surprising have a larger contact patch than the oem 255/30/19 pirellis :rofl: been rain-manning comparisons and these tires run like 1/2 size large (235 ~ 245 in other brands, 245 ~ 255 etc), the 245s are almost too big on these cars imho already

I tried out the 255/40 BFGs from my TTS VMR 18s and they are just a little too big and doing the math the PSAS4s in 245 are almost the same size, so crossing my fingers this will be a nice compromise. Happy that the car is "AWD" probably won't have much problem with traction being basically stock

Took advantage of the $150 off promo with costco, can't beat them for tires, plus all their lifetime protection stuff
