Anyone who has no tpms sensors and are tired of the blinking light, you can turn it off if you've got uprev by going into the bcm controls.

It will still come on solid after about 45 minutes of driving, but resets and turns back off every time you shut off the car.

I agree. The balance of the G and the control of the 6MT make for a very good driver in bad weather. I just put my snow tires and stock rims on today (very sad day), but I always joke that with snow tires the G will go through anything...as long as it's not deep!! In snow, I also turn the traction control off bc it's too invasive.

Went to a snowy parking lot, tried to do donuts. Picked up a switch this afternoon to fully kill traction control in those situations. I could feel tcs kicking in halfway around. That off button should really just be a "raised threshold" button.

Washed the car, I'm more impressed with ONR every time I use it, sprinkling a little rain today but at least the winter road grime is off.

It goes on the orange wire underneath the center console. I did mine a couple months back. Only really useful when going full douche mode spinning or track day haha.

I'm really glad you like it, I can never say enough good things about it. Next bottle though I'll try the Wax and Shine since I never have given it a shot.

Thanks, full douche mode is what I'm going for, lol. TCS actually saved my butt once on a blind curve that had a dip in the middle on a mountain road a few years back. The one moment I was glad it wasn't fully disabled.

I took my G out for the first time in snow yesterday with snow tires and she did great! I didn't do anything particularly exciting but it surprises me how perfectly controllable the rear is under throttle with traction control off

The funny thing is that every year I put my 225/245 oem sized snow tires and oem rims on the car, I feel like the car actually handles/behaves better than with my Volk 245/275 19” combo. It’s like the engineers actually picked the wheel/tire combo correctly. The car feels more athletic and balanced with better turn in. I’ve said this before, but I truly think the next time I need new summer tires I am going to go back to some Pilot Sport 4s in oem widths on my Volks. Overall, the car is relatively light and a 225/245 combo with some Sport 4s will probably be a very good set up for the G.

You are right, as I've only experienced more oversteer (235f/275r) and slightly less overall control with "performance upgraded" tire sizes. Of course my alignment may have some affect. But, yeah, it's almost as if those OEM engineers were being paid to do something..haha


Only thing is, is 245s look ssssooooooo dumb under that big fat rear end.

And it doesn't help that you two increased your staggered stance lol. Welp, the only thing I did to my G today was simply drive it. Not exciting to read about, but at least it was exciting to drive It's not my DD so I still tend to get a hard on when I do

Yeah, but I’m sure that the change in offset, rim width, rim diameter and overall tire width is a whole lot more important than a 1cm change in stagger front to back.

Washed the car, 24°F but the right gear and I was nice and toasty, then it snowed lol. At least it's clean under there.

Got a SES warning lamp indicator
Hooked up my Actron scanner which showed a P420 Bank 1 code
