Aaron Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Wheels came today, mounted balanced, TPMS Sensors and a sheet with the ID #s! Thank god you got these. I was following one of these new STI sedans yesterday, going 3mph turning on onramp, and accelerating like a grandma. It was a very dark blue color with silver/gunmetal bbs. Car looked good, but I passed him as soon as we got on the highway. This is my first winter with snow tires, and I will never be without them again. Wintersport 3D's. Hows the wait going?

SpaceGhost Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hows the wait going? It seriously sucks, I bought an obdII hand held unit to switch the TPMS sensors on the ECU for the 2 sets of tires. Otherwise I would have to go to the dealer every time and pay $50. It was $140 shipped so after 3 changes or next spring it pays for it's self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MS3 chimes initially and then the light stays lit. I can live with that for a few months as it's relatively muted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my current gti exactly like I wanted, but was dealer stock. Can't wait for pics. The dark blue one I saw looked cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the system to work especially in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 The TPMS for my winter snows were only $37 a piece at TireRack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Sweet! Did they have a build on order that they changed the specs on or is this straight from scratch order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Built from scratch, was built on Monday(Sunday evening, 14 hr difference). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Built from scratch, was built on Monday(Sunday evening, 14 hr difference). That is a quick turn around. I think Audi's/VW's take 2-4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I guess when Subaru made the deal with Toyota, they negotiated that Toyota ships the cars here from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
