Yeah, did it a number of years back, so the stickiness formula they used could have changed. Sorry . . .

Two important things:
1) You need to have a soaked paper towel or equivalent sit in it for a period of time (I put a plastic Ziploc bag around it to minimize evaporation. Ideally be 5-10 min.
2) Try to use 90%. 70% will work, but you need to let it sit for even longer (I did 70% and had it sit for 15 min and I wish I let it sit a little longer).

I ordered a set of these from the seller linked above. He’s in Newfoundland and seems like a good guy, BUT after waiting 6 weeks for delivery it turns out the package was returned to him as “undeliverable”, even though he addressed it correctly. The seller stepped up and sent another shipment to me - it’s been a week now. Not sure if the issue is with Canada Post or USPS, but buyer beware.

UPDATE: Second delivery arrived today.

Just finished Musicar tweeter install and replaced center speaker with Audiofog.
Overall a much cleanner sound. Still need to take it on the road but sounds good while in garage. Not an audiofile and still wish I had a beter equalizer.

Did you guys buy the OEM cf sills from Suncoast? Mine just came in and I’m a little disappointed that it’s only the center piece that is cf and the rest of it is the same plastic… tempted to send them back as that’s not much bang for the buck. I thought they’d be all carbon fiber. Anyone have experience with what I guess are the non-OEM versions that are all carbon fiber?

You should have known that when you ordered them as the picture is clearly showing what you're ordering. I bought them and agree, it's just the center that's CF but still looks much better than the stock ones. Not sure you would want more than that to be honest.....but then again thats just my opinion. Wait until you install them.....plan on 2-3 hours with a lot of elbow grease!

Our teaching of picture comprehension in Tomball must not have been as good as y’all’s in Hockley 😜. Will likely keep them as I’m not inclined to pay Suncoast restocking fee.

i

m on the fence on this one

sport1, the lowest setting, is a wee bit too much.



EDIT


I emailed the company about this and they responded right away and told me I could calibrate the minimum throttle position a bit higher to lower overall sensitivity.

The car runs about 900 to 4900 on the throttle positions. I don’t know what these numbers mean.

I recalibrated it to 2000 to 4900

I went and drove a lot in different conditions in all three driving modes on the car and at this sport +4 is absolutely phenomenal. It feels incredibly linear the car doesn’t hesitate and honestly it feels like a stump puller driving it low speeds. If it wasn’t for the whooshing intake/turbo sound from the back windows down I wouldn’t know this was a turbo

I recently bought something very similar (the RaceChip XLR throttle adapter), I'm either going to settle on Sport or Sport -1

It definitely makes mine much more responsive, for me its just a case of finding the right setting for daily driving. The race settings are way too much!

Since some lowlife jacked my front splitter I bought a new one. Easiest DIY ever! Took longer to get the race ramps setup than to put the thing on. Took the opportunity to also install my Zunsport Grills. Those however were a bit of a pain to install.
