Today, I upgraded my S4 replacing the weak stock battery with a lightweight lithium solution from Antigravity. My car is heavily modified and I wanted da bit of a weight reduction. A light weight battery made sense more than removing the rear seats to reduce weight. Although the battery swap was straightforward, the car required adaptation coding to recognize the new battery, a process I performed using VCDS, as shown in the video.
I'm trying to get the Stage 3 videos out quickly for those following along and maybe working on their own build. Today I released my 034Motorsport Downpipe video which covers the full in-depth install of the catalyst. I'm going to have some audio clips coming soon as the next video will feature the ECS Tuning valved exhaust and sound comparison with the 034 catalyst combination. The install overall is time consuming, but not complicated.
There are a ton of products on the market that claim to protect your windshield. Many people have applied waxes, sealants and coatings to their windshield, but are these glass specific products better?
This thing is absolutely massive and I'm sure flows very well. This inlet mates up perfectly with the P34, S34 and X34 intakes. It works for the B9 and B.95 S4 & S5 as well as the B9/B9.5 SQ5. The support turbos include the TTE710, TTE810, Pure750 and TS2. This huge inlet should flow very well for that big turbo! The installation is pretty straight forward, but may require a few small tools to reach the inlet fasteners.
Ever have just an hour to wash and seal your car? Gyeon Wet Coat is put to the test today to see if I can wash and seal my Mustang in under 60 minutes while the sun sets. If I was using a normal paste wax or liquid sealant there is no way I'd make it. Between having to dry an uncoated car and waiting for a wax to haze I'd be left outside with a flashlight. This product claims to be as simple as as a spray on and wash off application. Will it really work?
I picked up my 2023 Corvette Stingray a few weeks ago of course I had to ceramic coat. For any great ceramic application a paint correction is a must! I chose Adam's Polishes Graphene Ceramic Coating Advanced for this beautiful car. Fortunately our friends at CARZILLA were kind enough to provide me two polishers for this test. The ShineMate EB210 and EX620 were used to compound and polish the paint to a brilliant shine. In this video I will review the two polishers and the ceramic coating.
