Thank you for the reminder. This did something visceral to me. Volume required. Don't ruin it by skipping ahead.

Alfa Romeo Giulia - YouTube
Yeah that car is awesome! I think that would be a suitable replacement for my G37S If I won the Powerball yesterday that was one of the first cars I was going to order.

Haha, I think we all had our stables picked out if we had won!
I for one would have gone straight to the Mercdes dealer and gotten an S65 in black. Nice luxo barge with endless power to put around in while I put together the more interesting additions to the garage.

So today my editor was looking for a cool new car to feature in the guy gear section of the next issue of the magazine I work at. Used my biased suggestion, now the new q60 gets a spread haha.

My wife vetoed the whole wheels and tires on the dining room picture thing

Regardless, I'm pretty stoked. And my Dad is going to shuffle me around on Saturday so I can get them mounted, although he is pretty perplexed by the rate at which I destroy summer compound tires

Sister bought me the GTR start button

I've been trying to install it but can't quite figure out how to do it even after reading several tutorials. I can't disconnect the wires. Any tips?

I find that hard to believe lol, did you look at the DIY section?. This is all you need, https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...tallation.html.

You literally reach up there, unclip harness, take out button. Re-clip button back to harness and pop it back in. I have big hands and it took longer than it should.


Edit: Even found you the updated comments to make it even easier..

I think I had more issues getting the plug back into the switch than anything else.

It's a fiddly pita to get the clip to pop off on the back. I think I ended up doing it with 2 screw drivers.

Try this video (the dime tip is golden once you get it out):

I think i'll just change the color of the backlight on the stock white button.

I wouldn't mind upgrading the led on the button face to make it a little brighter... Not sure where to get good surface mount LEDs though.
