Jesus!!!! Damn turbo engines

make like 5whp with just changing a nut

yah, tune and tires. the tires vw gave me are pretty sad. and im going wider and run golf-r size which are 235/40/18. the stockers on the GTI are 225/40/18 and the sidewallz are too short for my area. dis was another reason why i wanted to da tune to compensate for the 4mm taller size wall.

@ 5whp for every nut

i think we need to get our tint guy a better shop. i can almost guarantee dat he flaked out near da end of the day after a whole day of tinting in his faking sauna.

Thats one of the reasons that my Z dont have tints hahaha!

I will like to install tints on my Z but damn I want to find the best of the best shops here to doit...

i completely agree on da tint i have no plans to do my Z. i too did not want to risk messing up my Z's appearance as nissan uses those gradient dots around the perimeter of the glass near the seals. adhesive doesnt stick to it so unless the tint guy uses some kind of jelly to fake the adhesion u got like these imperfection lines around the glass. looks like shittt imho.

the sad part is dat my tint guy did the gradient dot area on my GTI fine, but it's like right above the rear wiper in the flat spot he got like 5 little dots.

so my first thought was, he had painus.

yah, im going to run dws06 which are the tires i run on my STI in the winter so should do quite well.

Hhaaha!! daaaaamn we sound like brothers

I just can see those air bubbles there... I see a few cars with that and make me think if the owner was blind or what cause that thing looks terrible!

Until i find a good shop that i can trust that this are not going to happen... my car are going to stay without tints

da thought came to me from my RC cars dat are fwd running oil gear diffs.. more LSD action, more rotation.

yah i completely understand on buying domestic. i too have never owned one and was thinking about the ATS a little bit while i was hunting for a AWD sedan like 6-7months back. the price on the thing was just not worth it to me.. i mean if it was a CTS at dat price, maybe but ATS? no way...

Give it a week, you'll see those dots...

Unfortunately.

My Z was like that, no dots at all when I picked it up but sure enough they slowly started to appear

Z are easy cars to tint according to the shop who did mine. That hatch glass would send me to the chiropractor for sure though! Think that's why I haven't got the RJM in yet lol
