The rodeo has not been living up to expectations lately. But this is GM and they won’t disappoint.

I modified the suspension on my S4 with KW V3 coilovers, adjustable sway bars, drop links, transmission crossmember, etc. it was about $5K 12 years ago. The handling vs. stock was impressive. On the medium setting my teeth would chatter driving around town on crappy roads. For track only I think...

Many years ago I drove my S4 through a massive sand storm in the desert and it literally sand blasted my paint and had to take it to a pro. I was on a major highway and had few options, except for turning around and going back and waiting.

There is a lot of useful info on the Obsessed Garage support page. I purchased quite a bit of items from the website. I made extensive use of the aluminum tubing and fittings in my setup. Makes assembly and routing a breeze and professional looking...

I prefer an electric pressure washer and have an AR Blue Clean AR630-TSS. I use a 4.5 nozzle and that gets me around 1100 psi (I have a gauge) and 2.5GPM. My cannon is an MTM Hydro PF22.2 with 3.0 (1.1mm) orifice. I have a McKillans gun which is ok, but would like to upgrade. I have another...

I’m not sure there’s as many modes as people think there might be. It could be a placebo effect. The suspension and engine/shift (and likely braking and steering as well, but can’t confirm that) are tied to the PTM setting. The PTM toggle forces the other settings. The PTM toggle is a quick way...

That’s pretty bad water. I test chorine in my water from our small neighborhood well and can’t detect any. The TDS reading is 160 which is about medium. I use about 35gal total to wash a car. In the summer I can use 9000gal/month for watering trees.

My preferred method and what I currently use is a pressure washer with filtered water. Rinse, foam canon, rinse, natural drying. No towels are involved in any step of this. The reason to use a pressure washer for all water steps is to not use an excess amount of water through the filters which...

You need to be a high roller and know the right people. These are not for peasants like me.

A good money maker. Collect the cost of a new splitter from the driver then tape it up.

Me too. Want to keep the rectangular tips.

How did you resolve the situation? Did the door or trunk open with the key in the trunk.

I have the iJDMTOY markers for about 5 months now and so far so good. Fit is excellent. They all come from China and likely from the same factory.

I was out of town when my car arrived and when I got to the dealership about one week later it was inside the showroom. Dare I say they also washed it, but it didn't matter as it was going to the detailer/PPF shop right away.

Bottom line, for most people the 4BW is the practical decision and the 5BW is not. I have absolutely no need for the 5BW, however, I never want to sell it.
