Tested new CS7 with highway driving to do a third service check. The feeling got much better, so hope the claim for the original 4 will be successful.
Above the regular oil change during the service check, I asked them to change diff oil, air filter and cabin filter.
And after a week with TMPS...
The machine basically simulates how the tire behaves under driving loads - checks for stiffness variations, out-of-round issues and defects, that regular balancing machine won’t notice. It shows how much force the tire exerts on the wheel as it rolls (how out of round or stiff the tire is under...
The balancing found three tires out of spec 😬will try to make a claim and meanwhile I’m ordering three new tires 🤦🏻♂️
I checked the wheels after and found a chip… not sure if that happened during the manipulation in the shop or if a rock chipped the wheel 😕
They did, I had it checked today in other shop. The wheels are well balanced. So they recommended me to go for Road Force Balancing, which I’m ordered for tomorrow and hopefully that will fix it.
Took her out for the first proper drive after switching to CS7s. Had an awesome time on the twisty backroads – grip felt great and the steering feel was sharp!
However, I noticed some strong vibrations at highway speeds. Not sure if it’s just the stiffer sidewall of the CS7s making things more...
Got new wheels today, was so excited, only to find out one of them has a cut from a cardboard knife 😭 sent a claim to the seller and hopefully they’ll send a replacement soon 😬
But they’re nice 😁
Went down the rabbit hole to select summer wheels… I was considering some GramLights (57DR/NR) till I got shot down by the fact, I’m not gonna be able to put them through the registration process (similar to TÜV) 😬
Researched the wheels that have at least some kind of certification which would...
Wanted to try the new alignment in action, took the car to Austrian Alps ⛰️ found out I have to take it to track so I can test the limits without worrying about ending up in a ditch 😅
Got my car back today after 4 days at the service. Two weeks ago I’ve had it for an oil change and they showed me how the previous garage I was using “did” (not really) the undercoating (which was done in November of last year). All the cavities didn’t have any wax inside etc 😬
So I had it...
Went to drop off my Staffy at my parents’ place for the week. It was snowing 😈, so I gave the car a little push and slid into the turn. I get out and some kids standing nearby yell “Nice drift!”. I laugh, say thanks.
Then they walk up and hit me with THE question - “Is that a Supra?” I barely...
Had her detailed yesterday, took her for a road trip today, she ain’t clean no more 🤣 there were a highway construction alongside the road and so much mud everywhere, slippery mud might I add 😅
The car has been checked and everything is ok! The service didn’t find any damage, but they balanced the wheels as there were some vibrations after last visit to dealer a week before the “oops” moment and test drove the car afterwards. I wanted to do the alignment just in case, but they said...
