Does anyone know how a flat bottom wheel affects driving style while cornering in a manual??

I’d say more personal preference, however I’m one of the odd ones here and prefer the round wheel.

Typically you aren’t supposed to corner any different in manual than auto, both hands on the wheel. One handed into a corner is not ideal. So if gone by standard method, a flat bottom won’t mess your grip up.

Proper technique (they say) is downshift right before enterance and use both hands out until past apex.

But then again, personal preference. I know a bunch of wild boys who track 70% one handed while heel/toeing

That new MP hybrid leather/Alcantara w/blue strip is really cool all the G80s guys are installing. Super slick round wheel.

Might be a bit obnoxious to some with the full Valvetronic exhaust system, valves open, but I like it.
I'd like to get the cold start coded out asap now.

Which plates? Great wheels and tires (what size are you running?, looks like a square setup)

Tested out spirited driving in the heat. Handled like a champ. No noticeable power fall off like I have experienced with previous NA vehicles during summers here. Fans did stay running about 3-4 minutes after parking in the garage.

Mind my cluttered garage. Installed the TRE CS spoiler today, looks fantastic. Used one of those rubber wheels to get the tape off the lid, can't imagine doing it any other way.

My M let me know that I now have a leaky garage roof.

We have been getting a ton of rain lately and I when I went into the garage this morning the M had water all over the hood.

Booo houses. Yay ceramic coat and PPF.

Just watched a YouTube vid on a G87 6MT Racechip GTS install. The guy who installed it was saying map 7 or “race” was too much for the factory clutch, and it will slip at those torque levels.

Curious if you’ve pushed it that hard yet?
