Making me jealous! I cannot wait for mine to come in! I think I’m on week 4 or 5 and it’s killing me, especially in this climate! Lol
Be careful when you disassemble your wheel for the trim and buttons/paddles. It was an expensive day after I destroyed one of the mini connectors on the paddle and cracked out the screw hole on the trim badge backing plate. I hate plastic.
Damn, seriously? Haha! I’ve disassembled and assembled 2 previous flat bottom wheels before and don’t think I’ve managed to come close on damaging connectors. The plastic black piano surround trim on the other hand is a different story. I’d wish they would have at least made the male connecting ends in metal to make it a little more easy, but that’s Audi.
Yeah, it happened in an instant. The multi-function buttons released from the wheel and there was only about 2" of slack in the wires. The pull resulted in about 2.5" of force. Connector cracked in 4 places and turned to dust instantly. I could not find the 10 cent connector anywhere so I had to buy another whole paddle. The trim ring came out really well but…I was following directions that had a murky order of operation. “Behind the badge is a screw. Remove it to replace.” I took it to mean pop the badge out to find a screw which holds the ring into the wheel. This was the wrong choice. Both issues were minor but would have bugged me. I replaced them.
How’s the Antigravity holding up? About ready to order one myself.
We’ll find out soon now won’t we Ape?
Boy does it look clean though!
After the removal of the rear seats, that woofer becomes so useless. Might as well remove it as well
Exhaust is quite a bit louder with those rear seats out hey? I’ve had mine out for a year and I doubt I’ll put them back in. They weigh (without the bottom cushion) around 80lbs.
I find my exhaust way way louder with the back seat down, so much it sounds like my engine is in the rear
I definitely notice the exhaust is louder with the seat uprights out. I hated the road noise with the seat bottoms removed so those went back in. They only weigh a few lbs so the tradeoff wasn’t worth it.
As far as the rear sub being worthless, I still hear it just fine. Seems the same. Did you have a different experience Vancmann?
Ape_Factory just hooked up the next weigh loss mod. 45 lbs lost on this one…
Ya I’ve got the rear seat cushions in, road noise isn’t too bad, but defiantly louder!
I’m currently fabricating a rear seat delete panel to make the cage a more factory look. I was really surprised how heavy the uprights were.
Michel and I talked about this, I’m interested, keep me posted.
To confirm, you have the bottom cushion still installed correct? It only weighed like 1-3lbs
Yeah, TN_RS5 the uppers are like 95% of the weight! Post up pics of the rear seat delete when you get a chance. I have a few materials for some as well, just have to find some time.
BTWarranty, it should be here on Friday. Yes, rear seat bottoms are still in.
Mine arrived today. Be sure to download the app to monitor!
The app is way cool. I’m sitting here in my office upstairs and I can monitor the battery in the car which is almost directly below me.
If anyone wants an Antigravity battery at an amazing price, shoot me a PM. I have one left from the initial batch but can get as many as needed.
