  • Anyone driven with out the windshield?

    I have a 2015 LE came with the bubbles. Did not like the cross wind beating on me from passage sheild. Bought the madstad double bubble windshield. That little center sheild is what makes all the difference. It stops all the cross wind from each sheild. If you like the factory bubbles mess with making a center sheild to stop the wind up the middle or to divert it a little. Have been extremely happy with the madstad setup.

    No problem here only trying to promote yours here. I do not recommend going somewhere else unless it is a color thing. I love my boot but would of rather had yours with the double stitching in orange if it would have been available. You can't beat the price you are offering up at least what I have in my setup. Could have bought two of yours. And of course helping the ones out that need it the most. By the way I need to get you takin care of for the directions for mine. I will make a little stop by your site today.

    I think these look great Everyone will be happy. I did not use gp customs but went with a company for boot that he used in testing. I went with a color he was not offering for boot and handle. But for the price he is offering to you I can tell you I have almost more in the boot than he is charging for materials and charity. These are top quality. In my opinion do not hesitate. On mine I put boot on and didn't like the look so pulled back off and cut original boot off behind the handle put in on pulled boot back over old boot to fill it out. Think I end up cutting off about 2" in total behind handle on old boot. Put it in the sun let it get hot so it stretches easier. Because it is TIGHT! I had it on and off 3 times talk about some words flying. But over all look is the way it should have been. Jump on this get a great deal and HELP OUT A GREAT CAUSE!

  • Rims

    You guys may want to check with Envy motorsports for rims/tires. DJ at envy give him a call usually beats everyones prices. Compared a set Roaring Toyz wheel/tire package to his (same except was adding painted barrels and other small areas to be painted) price was still $50 less than RR. But go with the go you feel more comfortable with. Price is not always the bottom line.

  • Review of Alpha CAI and Side Exit Exhaust with 1320 Header

    I'll jump in here and give my thoughts on my setup. I have been running the VI Engineered CAI, VI Engineered header & exhaust. For about a year. I can tell you this setup helped dramatically in my opinion. As fast as turbo no, faster than stock definitely yes. This motor needs to breath & exhale. Couple of stock slings last year at the SSITS commented that I was able to rail thru the gears much faster than they were able too. With this setup and controlled launch 1st gear was almost useless just about always smoked tire until shift then second was always a short spin with it stepping out to the side. Really fun to drive. Ran with a couple turbo's last year. The big difference is at the end of 3rd gear and on up. 1st & 2nd & beginning of 3rd Not much difference traction issue for them.


    This year same setup. Sent ECU off to Bob in Cali, sent intake manifold, throttle body, and my whole CAI to Rist Rocket Racing and had them port & polished. I then did a little clean up work on the exhaust ports.


    After you drive something for awhile the quickness tends to diminish. You tend to get used to it. But upon installing this all I can say is you know it. Drove it around letting ECU get its bearings. Upon 1st start up it jumped straight to 3500 rpm and held for approximately 4-5 seconds then came down then fluctuated a few times up to 2000 rpm. Did this on first 3 start ups. Drove around a little and seemed to settle down to 900 rpm.


    Now for seat of the pants. 1st hard launch bringing it out spinning, immediate 2nd gear shift right into full on spin then Rev limiter, hard 3rd shift right back into full on smoke, 4th gear shift with wheel still spinning with hard step out to the side. Now that is all with stock Kenda tire so need to keep that in mind.
    Next controlled launch. Still tire spin with almost immediate 2nd gear shift with tire spin throughout most of second gear to grab just before 3rd shift and hard step out. 3rd is much more spirited with a nice hard push to 4th. Then 4th is a little more lively but nothing to be impressed about.


    Very happy with results but not as happy as I would be with a turbo!

  • Help me chose between these two mods....

    Choose your materials and design wisely. I went with the orange in the center with black on outsides. Much cooler this way felt the material is more breathable than the black vinyl. I went with the lumbar support but if you aren't afraid to do a little work (easy) you could save some coin (roughly $200) by ordering the heated seat kit from Rock Auto online. Last time I looked it was around $115 for it. That is for both seats I believe. Contact Subrablue on other site and she can get you a discount code also. Anyway you go you will be much happier.
