snow mode is frustrating as hell if your trying to have fun. It likes to cut all available power if you get in a slide of any kind.

not full off...one push off not the 5 second hold. Thought that would be enough to have fun but it cut power like a ****. I have turned it all the way off since and had fun but that is not how I'd reccomend driving on regular roads as far as commuting goes :-)

Have any of you guys seen the leather interior on a X in person? If so, what were your thoughts on it? Worth the extra $$ or no?

I've seen it but haven't sat in it. In my opinion I'd rather have cloth. It tends to hold you better. Just a pain to clean if you ever get crap on it but to be honest I haven't had an issue with my seats yet.

I agree.

I like the breathability of cloth better, and like the fact that I don't get my hammies burned while wearing shorts in the summer...

I plan on "slightly" modifying my car starting with an ETS intake and an HKS blow off valve. Any thoughts? Any place/site that might have these things for cheap. Thanks guys.

most intakes yield decent gains, but as far as the bov, although its one of the loudest I have had, drivabilitywise on maf was bad.

I can help you with the ETS Intake... I'd stay away from the HKS BOV though.

Imo EITHER. If is recirc i would go with forge rs or tial QR. Intake i would use Buschur, rmr, jm fab or stm. But if your set on ETS contact Justin at Force-Fed Performance to get the lowest price on ETS.... GL

Sure thing man, ETS intakes are pretty well designed and you wont find better pricing than us

BTW hold out a little bit Tial has a new re-circ bov they had on display at PRI we will see if it does better than the bong re-circ valve. if you cant wait find a used ForgeRS for around 120 or so
