I was of the same opinion, albeit without ever having researched the subject at all... I just assumed they'd just wash off etc but from everyone I've spoken to that has or has had it, they rate it..

Did you sus out any of his detailing photos? I looked at the blue mustang and black maloo photos and couldn't work out if he's not that good or just an average photographer..

Prolly just shit photos. Makes it look like all he's done is lightly wax the car. Need to take detailing photos in the right lights. My phone pics look better than that.

Also look up "post purchase dissonance" - most people have a tendency to say something they've bought is good, particularly if a sales pitch was involved in their purchase.

Any experts in headunits?

 

Been out of the game too long? Just want one that plays from phone and usb and any other cool features im not aware of

 

 

Also where to buy a loud as F**k horn so people stop merging into me

Amps and speakers are more important than the head unit

So just buy for looks and features, e.g. Bluetooth, audio in, USB, as they all do much the same thing

Get the triple

I have a mechless alpine headunit lying around you can have for like $80 or something. Pretty sure it has bluetooth, will have to check.

I paid like $400 for it and ran it in the pulsar for 2 years or something (aka 500kms)

Single DIN or Double DIN?

I put a Double DIN touchscreen in the Evo, a Pioneer DEH-X5xxxx(???) and it has been flawless. Phone -> Bluetooth -> Head Unit... + Wireless charging for the phone, means there's not a cable in sight.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
