Yes, you lose the airbag if this change is made.

Love it. This is my next mod.

Bought one!

The cards finally fell into the right place after many years away. I am beyond excited and can't wait to make memories with it - it's already been special. Car is going in for PPF and will be driving down the West Coast to Monterey next week - hope to say hello to some members out there. Many thanks to those on the subforum here for your contributions and help. So nice to be back on Rennlist again!

finally made a decision on new tires. I love the motorsport sidewall look of the Cup 2 N specs,... but the need for a more appropriate compound for my driving use case (twisty Mtn backroads), I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. And they do not come in a N spec,... so it has that terrible looking curb protector bulge. I'll just have to live with that look,... cuz the level of performance I need to MATCH my driving roads,.. is more important.

Bottom line is that I KNOW these PS4S will keep temperature stable much better than the Cup 2's, and this will suit my tour-type driving days much better.

.... (... our West Virginia, and western MD mountain roads, all work their way through little towns. So after a solid 15 minutes of great roads, you'll always end up pulling thru a small little town with a few stop signs & 25 mph speed limits. THAT's when the Cup 2's would cool off. I hated getting them back up to temp many times per day).

Also took the time to bang my CL's apart and re-grease the internal plate, ring & inner barrel of the CL. I usually try to do this every year no matter how many miles I drive.

edit: Oh, in addition,.... the PS4S comes with 9/32" tread depth and a 300 tread wear rating,... verses the Cup2 which has 7/32" tread depth, and a 180 wear rating.
... These PS4S are going to suit my driving style much better, longer, and much less expensive.

Conjecture on my part, but that's exactly what I did at one time to secure the PSE plug after disconnecting to leave the system in "valves open" position all the time.

This was my initial thought as well but the PSE plug is on the other side of the engine in a .1. I will look when I get home.

Renown wheel installed. Haven’t had a chance to drive yet because I went from this immediately to the objectively worst job in the world - 964 starter motor replacement. I had to give up for the evening. Awful. But this looks great. Hoping the dish works with my seating position.
