Scheides' New Beater

[scheides]

^ Not sure yet. AWC = All Wheel Control = AYC (Active Yaw Control) + ACD (Active Center Diff). The stock button on the 08's is on the damn steering wheel. Last thing I wanna do is switch to snow mode while mid corner! Plus it opens up room for the 2010 stereo controls, and I have an idea on what to do with the spare button blanks that will end up in the center console :)

This thread made my heart skip a beat. I'm so happy for you, dude. Best of luck with this thing, it looks like it's on par with my POS in terms of shittiness, I hope it doesn't let you down.

congrats on the new car! looks nice sucks that previous owner didn't take care of it. Good luck with it!

AWC = ACD from the VIII and IX. ( Gravel, Snow, and Tarmac). The button you will play with the most is the ASC button on the left side. Press is once to disable the Traction control, and sportier stability settings, HOLD down the ASC for 3-5 seconds (until the Warning comes on the center display) This disables stability control, traction control, and ABS. The only thing that is always on is the AYC, the best part of this car.

Congrates on the purchase, hardly a beater, maybe neglected, but it only has what 22K miles? Lots of life left for this one. ;)

Congrats on the car, I love the X's.

May be a good opportunity to "wrap" the car in some cool satin finish(or whatever finish/color you like)?




Also this thing needs summer rubber stat; it has some snow tires on it now that I'd like to last.


If you want a set of stock tires, a friend has his stock X wheels with tires sitting around. I know he's going to put snow tires on the wheels, and probably wants to sell the tires.. Should I ask him?

Woot! Can't wait to see it. Also, black wheels on a black car IS NOT GHEY.

All this talk about vinyl wrap, gah idk, seems silly to me.

I think I'm good on the rubber, I have to bring one of my rotas from my evo8 to precision wheel to get cleaned up and see if the tire is any good, they might be one of the few things I keep from that car LOL.

Nice Scheides! Next time I see you I'll take a look at the car and tell you what I can buff out of it, and what will need paint. I'm sure some of the scratches will come out without needing paint.

I think these stock wheels would actually look better than those Rota's. Agree with the wrap being silly also, seems like it could get f-ed up so easily. Hell, Mark and Kevin are both body guys ain't they? have them paint the sucker up!!

EDIT: sure kevin had to post while I was typing... lol
