Installed GT4RS strakes, will post pictures in the aero thread.

Secondly I installed the low traction file for the DSC controller.

Now I'm curious about the DSC options. I just went with the standard setup that the DSC rep and I figured would be best for my intended use. I've never attempted making changes - figured I'd screw it up or not even be able to tell the difference if I did change something.

I've not even hooked up a laptop to the device to see what can be done. Based on what you just wrote, it sounds like there are some pre-set options that can be selected rather than just random setting parameters that would be meaningless to me.

Sounds like I need to get off my rear and do some research at DSC Sport's website. Not enough hours in the day... :|

I can email you the low traction file and you can try it if you like. Or is there a way to post it here somewhere?
I compared the files in notepad and the differences made sense to me. I have only driven the car around the block so far and don't yet have any real feedback.

Maybe. I need to do my homework first so that I at least have a little bit of an idea what we're discussing here regarding how customizations are configured and how they're applied. I think I said I was going to do that very thing (homework and study) when we first discussed the DSC controller last summer. I've procrastinated terribly. (It's that time thing again...)

Does anyone do anything to their seatbelt buckle, namely the passenger side to stop the knocking sound?

I have seen some cheap looking leather and silicon ones on Ebay, wondering what the best solution would be?

Hey. I heard if you just fit something over the buckle, you will not hear the noise. So I was looking at these 2. I also might try some stick on alcantara (imitation)…
