p.s. NEED those KW HAS. Do they improve the cars handling significantly?

Not really. My guess is it hurts handling a bit. I would say KW V3 with proper alignment and settings would improve handling, but the HAS is more for looks with minimal sacrifice.

Very nice stance

The front is as low as it allows, so it's about an inch. The rears are about .25" from the lowest setting.

Thanks for all the great info, Matt! I discovered this journal yesterday while looking up detailing tips for my new F82. I read through the entire thing and watched all the videos and then ordered $600 worth of new detailing products

Love the website and great taste in cars, btw!

Wow that is going to be fun to follow. Excited for you! I too am building again but will just have to setting for my own personal attached 2 car garage.

Lynchmob6 · 10-08-2015, 11:55 AM

Congrats...this is going to be epic for you and the family...can't wait to see how things turn out!!

M4GTS · 10-10-2015, 06:01 PM

Matt, your current home is way too clean and tidy! Good luck getting it sold.

So all this talk of cars and garages. Tell us your plans for the Hi-Fi!!??

I'm not 100% sure. I'm hoping OLED in 100" size range will be viable in a few years when I'm ready. I'm thinking Dolby Atmos 9.1.2 largely with floor standing speakers front a rear. I'm not sure what speakers I'll use, but I know I want a JL Gotham sub. I actually don't like theater seating or decoration. I just want a black room with nothing but speakers and equipment and a massive comfortably couch or two to lay on. I hate fluff in theater rooms. I just want the ability to rip my face off if I want.

I heard GoldenEar Triton One's on a few occasions and walked away very impressed each time. Excellent value for the money (relative, of course). Sandy Gross (founder) had a booth with an Atmos setup that Dolby dug a lot, so he really seems to know his stuff. He also stated that a lot of guys are running Triton One's as the FL and FR and Triton Two's as the SL & SR while running the LFE signal into all four speakers, which is a great way to get your pant legs moving with all the bass!

Money no object and avoiding super boutique brands, I have yet to hear a better (2 channel) setup than B&W 800Ds and McIntosh 1000w monoblocks. I think several music studios around the world employ this setup.

I've read a lot about GoldenEar. I almost bought a set for the garage before I got the DynAudio Excite X14s. I really need to get off my rear and go hear a set. I rarely take time to listen to music, so the theater dynamics will be more important to me.

Matt, talk to Sean @ PSI about Hi-Fi. He's REALLLLLLLY big into it.

M4GTS · 10-13-2015, 02:57 PM

I wouldn't go too nuts if it's largely home theatre, tbh. That would definitely be law of diminishing returns. I'd be keen to hear a 9.2 set up consisting of B&W 800 Diamonds, or the Focal Utopia series, however!

Money2536 · 10-27-2015, 02:55 PM

I was messing around with my Fenix flashlight learning how to light paint. It is better to use a stick light, but I don't have one. It's amazing how easy it is. Set the camera to 20sec exposure and walk around with a flashlight. Look very fake/HDRish but pretty cool.

And a few extras I shot with the lights on.
