What did you just buy?

[runtohell121]

Ordered TRS morimoto 55w HID kit to replace the 35w kit on my cx-5 touring.

35w is more than enough... Why 55w? You'll be blinding oncoming traffic most likely lol

 

[Iceman04503]

20% brighter output. And my projectors are pointed slightly down so that it isn't blinding other drivers.

20% brighter blinding other drivers.

Just noticed you are on M3R too lol.
A DAMD leather armrest from Japan. Also some dip to test a black roof..

Well, yeah, they're supposed to be pointed downward a bit. But that doesn't prevent excessive glare. Glare increases due to a number of factors;

a more reflective road surface
bulb slightly misaligned within the projector
projector lenses fogged or slightly dirty
headlight lenses dirty or wet
atmospheric scattering due to dust or humidity
rain
etc.

Increasing bulb intensity will increase glare in direct proportion to the increase in bulb intensity.

Do you have a link for that armrest?

Thanks. Looks really nice. Is it a cover that goes over the existing armrest or is a complete replacement of the lid?

TBH I'm not really sure. I figured it is just a cover. I just got an email from them saying it's for cx-5s built before jan 2015 (e.g not for 2016 cx-5s, obviously). I think they were confused because I listed mine as 2015 cx-5, but elsewhere they don't +1 year label their cars.

Ordered BC coil overs from Font Motorsports.


This example has the equipped.

I think most people are recommending dash cam with capacitors now.. But the downside of the capacitors are that you cannot record once you turn off the car.

There's so many dash cam out there.. so hard to choose, but depends on your budget.

Mine has some ultra small Li-Ion battery that is claimed to be resistant to huge temp swings.

 

[Chris_Top_Her]

I got this https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned). Hopefully the battery is ok.

 

[tibimakai]

I have picked up, a brand new(still shrink wrapped) Escort Redline, with a Smart Cord hard wire kit from CL, for $350.

 

[Bob-Loblaw]

Damn I need one of those. 2 speeding tickets in the last 3 months.

 

[Bladecutter]

Which model? That will probably be my next Porsche if I can bring myself to part with the 993, They are great on the track. I hope the wait isn't too long for you.

Base Cayman, but loaded with all the performance oriented goodies:

PASM
PTV
20" Carrera S wheels

We added in a few comfort items like 14 way seats, upgraded CDR radio, and two tone leather, just to make it ours.

The dealer was saying roughly July, since there's a big rush on Cayman GT4 orders right now.
Chances are there's someone who's going to have to wait longer to get their GT4 because I ordered a Base, but I don't really feel bad for that person.

BC.

 

[Bladecutter]

Did you consider the mecan before you got the cx-5? that's an interesting stable lol.

The Macan didn't exist when we bought the CX-5 back in 2013.
We haven't even test driven a Macan to this day, but the CX-5 was something that jumped out and bit us at the Denver Auto show way back in time.

Our CX-5 is the first time we've ever been attracted to an SUV in the first place.
We thought about it for a year before buying the CX-5 too, just to see if it was just an infatuation, or if it was a serious desire.
Still love her, with over 29k miles on her.

Just looking forward to having a sports car back in the garage, however, and the Cayman wound up beating out a few other choices.

Man if I could afford that I'd have one with this kit on it. Until then I'll look forwards to a Mitsubishi Mirage as a tuner car lol.

I was going to say I bought a California Car Duster but somehow it doesn't seem that exciting anymore.

 

[Chris_Top_Her]

Some lateral locks I forgot I needed, and a camber gauge for when I get my coilovers (BC's from Font Motorsports).

 

[Bob-Loblaw]

OEM Alloy Gas, Brake and Footrest Pedals.

Cobra iRad 105. I've got this point system thing at my work where we accumulate points and can choose from a catalog with everything under the sun. Anyway after 2 speeding tickets in 3 months and averaging 1 every couple years thought I'd give this a shot. Basically free.
