So I chose Gold for the RPF1s in 17x8. Looks great, imo.

After I got home, I did some searching on here and found that the car did indeed need to 're-learn' idle. If I remember correctly, one way that was possible was to just drive it. That is what I found to be true. I probably drove about 30 miles total, being careful to not let the rpms drop too low, before everything was back to normal. |

Hey guys i was wondering does anyone have an intake on their car? Im just looking for something that might add a nice mod to the motor. Also looking in to making a nice deep tone on the car but not a headache for long distance traveling...not sure if i should just swap muffles or do a full exhaust...any ideas would greatly help.

Try turning all lights, radio, and wipers off. Don't use anything that consumes power, and turn he key on. Wait a minute and start the car, and let it idle without touching anything for ten minutes. I believe that is the re learn process. I had to do it after changing my spark plugs, or else my car would come close to stalling and dropped well below the regular idle.

17x8 +45, no issues rubbing. Fitment is great. From it looks like I could probably have run +42 without poking too much.
What splitter is that? Window visors would look nice. What performance mods? |

That said, what interests you in chassis bracing? You probably cannot throw the car around hard enough to challenge the OEM chassis without significant modification. The stock tires, suspension, brakes, bushings, etc. are limiting factors long before the chassis stiffness comes into play. You'll get a bigger bang for your buck out of better tires, even on stock rims, or new pads/rotors, etc. |

I have a 2012 but I can also add that it's normal. I believe it's the ECU trying to check everything out and set itself up before it worries about the car starting. I almost made the guy at the battery shop **** his pants one day because I forgot about it and tried to crank it right after he swapped the battery in, and it turned over and over. Had to jump out and tell him it's cool, always happens.
By the way, are you BWX from RDF? |

throttle controller is by far the best thing ive ever bought. if your thinking about getting one just get one you won't be upset I only can speak for AVO but it's awesome. I agree racelands are cheap but they have a life time warranty and amazing customer service I had one small issue that really wasn't a big deal but they shipped a new unit out over night. I just have an aem panel filter.
