Yeah the screens seem like an after thought but even new BMWs similar jus pokin out the top of the dash..

Love the S probably why I like the new c it's a compressed version almost and the headlights / taillights big step up to me

yeah when i was at the Mercedes dealership the screens were the thing which made me question the interior..

if it had been integrated into the dash more, even have it slide up or something it would be perfect!

That's the new trend with screens not sure why.. Integrated is way nicer although perhaps a benefit is if they stuff up replacement / repair would have to be significantly less.

I don't like it but can't say it bothered me when I was in the a45 amg

I would think that an integrated screen which is well designed could be replaced cheaper...

If the screen, or the control unit, stuffs up... Remove the dash surround (2 mins), unscrew screen, remove plug from back of it and put in new screen (or control unit)

An external screen is more complicated / expensive to make, as it's got its own facia/bezel/surround/mounts... Might be able to be swapped over a few minutes faster, but you'd have to replace the whole unit instead of just the screen itself.

Looks much better in the dash tbh... And I'd imagine up where it is in that pic it would get a lot of sun glare.

I am glad car companies are going for higher mounted displays though, looking away from the road is never a good thing.

does car even need a screen?

Sat Nav, Reverse Parking Camera, etc, etc... They're all "must have" features these days. In the performance models, I'd hope that there would be other cool things shown like on a GTR, temperatures, warnings etc. But that said... looks like in the pic shown there's another LCD display between the gauges in the cluster anyway.

Don't know if it's already been mentioned but you can all permanently remove your rego stickers from today :)

Wooooooooot!!! No more hideous colours making things look blergh :D

forgot about this, yay

still struggling to get my windscreen free from massive streaks at sunset, anyone recommend a good window cleaner? the stuff I have at home is awesome for bathroom mirror, but just does not like the car.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
