I went ahead and ordered 2 from Summit. That's my way of telling the car that she's staying around for a while.

This is what I received from Amazon in an ACDelco box. It's marked STP and seems to be used.

Perfect, thank you very much! They have them in stock, too. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-a3247c

Ordered the AC Delco A3247C filter on Amazon and they sent me an STP-branded filter (that appears to be lightly used) in an AC Delco box. A few minutes of googling and none of the normal parts places seems to have the correct AC Delco. Is the dealership my only choice? And no, I am not...

I just did the cabin filter last weekend and did not have to drop the glove box itself. I reached the clip to the cover on the right side and was able to squeeze it just enough to pop the right side off, which then allows the left side to slide out of its notch. The filter then just slides out...

Just FYI - Mobil 1 website now says the "FS European Car Formula" 0w40 is approved and is dexosR approved. When you put in your 5BW make, model, and year, it pulls up 3 different approved oils - Supercar, ESP X4, and FS European Car Formula. Here's the product info...

So I wanted to bump this thread and see if anyone else has put 5BW wheels on their 4BW and if they had any feedback. I am contemplating doing this on a 4BW I am getting next week. I will be running track spec cambers and want to make sure I can run 265 or 275/30/19 up front without rubbing.

Hilarious post! I had it's older, smaller brother - Trackhawk - for 5 years and absolutely adored it! That powertrain is so fantastic and has so much character. Now that Stellantis is back to pushing V8s, I am hoping they will come out with a new generation of it.

I don't disagree but I can think of a few cars that got revised suspension tuning with no official proclamtion of changes and it wasn't until people started looking at part numbers that the differences were public. The 2018 Focus RS being one and if I recall the 992.1 GT3s got revisions to the...

Any difference in tires? Or psi? Either of those could account for a difference in ride quality. But I'm not sure anyone actually has confirmed that the suspension tuning is exactly the same between the years. That would probably require someone hacking into the mag ride computer. Has DSC...

You will be 100% fine and I speak from experience having driven my 5BW in similar conditions a few times. Leave your traction/stability on and just drive smoothly (you can momentarily 'beat' the TC/ESC if you stab the gas pedal quickly). Your tires won't be damaged, either.

I received my harness the other day. Wondering if I should even bother since it seems like maybe it's not a very noticeable change in sound?

Excellent post, Roadhawk! Agree 1000% with everything you stated. That video was interesting because he has stated in other places, including his Carmudgeon podcast, that the 4BW is the best driving sports sedan ever made.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues you've had with your car. The 4BW is one of the best driving high performance cars I've ever had the pleasure if driving and I may end up getting one to sit next to my 5BW. But . . . I also have a 2020 GT350R and you will LOVE the Voodoo experience...

I've had a 2017 Evora 400 since new. Wonderful cars to drive (even better with the KomoTec 435 reflash and Komotec shorter gears). I've driven it on multiple road trips, too, and it is incredibly comfortable even for me at 6'3". The handling and braking are sublime. Plus, it is NOT a...
