    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    The brakes activate too; not just the brake lights. That’s the one and only thing I don’t like about the active cruise control.

    UPR catch can and orange fitting solution.

    I installed my UPR catch can a while ago with the upgraded check valve and I got 4 or 5 orifices with it to use in place of the PCV valve. I just went with the middle size orifice and was was wondering what everyone else was using. Like I said in my post, I did order the replacement fitting for...

    UPR catch can and orange fitting solution.

    Which orifice that UPR supplies with the can is everybody using?

    UPR catch can and orange fitting solution.

    Nice! I gotta tell you that I actually thought of doing exactly that except I didn’t have an expired credit card or piece of plastic stock. I was going to cut up an aluminum can but about that time I decided to just order the replacement connector from UPR. Nice work!

    Dirty tailgate and window

    True that! The surface needs to be clean otherwise you can scratch the clear coat. I only use one after I’ve recently washed it and before the dust/dirt has gotten wet. Also a good wax or sealer needs to be used.

    Replacing BU & Rear Turn Signal lights -> LED

    In order for the turn signals to look right in red, I think they’d need to match the red brake lights. Might be tough to do since the brake light lenses are red.

    Speedometer/tire size/Forscan

    I use Forscan and I do not recall seeing anything in there pertaining to tire size/speedo calibration. I could be wrong.

    Purchased a couple days ago.....now she's at my detailers shop. Wow.

    Looking good! I’ve always told the dealer not to wash my new cars. Washing is where most of the damage to the paint happens which you already know.(y)

    If you want the best....

    Easy. 10 minutes per side. From the inside of the back, there’s a small plastic cover opposite of the light assembly. Pop it off and unscrew the bolt assemply, then pop off the light assembly. Pretty self explanatory once you get into it.

    If you want the best....

    No. You also can’t turn off auto stop/start.

    If you want the best....

    Go on their site and follow the directions on how to load it. It does require Windows and it is free. You’ll need to get what they call an “extended license” to use it. I turned off the double honk for when you walk away from the car while it’s running and hyper blink when I installed LED’s. You...

    Blackstone Oil Analysis Reports

    I changed mine at 1,200 and it was dark but that’s to be expected. Assembly lube gets mixed into the factory fill so that’s totally normal, and GDI engines are abusive to the oil to begin with.

    Auto Start/Stop Indication

    For instance if your in a drive through line and you’re moving short distances with small delays in between, it’ll become inactive so as to not start and stop so many times in a row. You’ll see a line through the auto start stop icon. That’s just one parameter where it becomes inactive. Same if...
