Sifting thru all these speaker install posts and trying to formulate a plan for the mids/tweets up front. I get the impression that the door sub is actually pretty good so I plan on leaving it alone. But the 3.5” leaves much to be desired an the tweeter is not far behind. Pls correct me if I’m...

First day with the new addition…albeit two years ago. The honeymoon has yet to lighten up...

Thanks for rolling in here. Sweet setup you have there. I didn’t want to disappear down the upgrade rabbit hole trying to balance the cockpit imaging. Given my tinnitus (it’s the sound of freedom, you know) won’t allow me to fully appreciate the crisp highs like I used to, my objective here is...

Not bad for $200 from Amazon.

So I finally decided I needed to upgrade the sound for some more depth and bump. Been carousing around all the great threads but haven’t yet seen if anybody has cut the tabs off the center speaker grill that lock into the Center Finish Panel (where the gauges are…along with my $$$ CF dash...

PSA for the engine cleaners- use deionized water. I’ve been doing so for 23 years now and enjoy the mineral free water so much I co-founded Simple Chuck, a company to provide it to CDO folks (it’s like OCD but the letters are in the right order lol) who can’t stand a water spot anywhere. I’m no...

So I bought the steed with 17k miles 2 years ago and I’ve put 10k miles on her. I would wipe the alcantara steering wheel with a MF towel every couple months and it was getting where it had zero texture anymore…I knew it needed some attention but the bug bit me for a CF wheel and dropped that in...

Been awhile since I’ve loitered in these parts as the 350 simply leaves me wanting for more instead of finding ways to keep the FedEx driver stopping by with, uhhhh, “….just sprinkler parts for the landscaping, Honey." I had been thinking about a new steering wheel since I did the CF interior...

Still avail?

Why bumped so much?

Well, that didn’t take long. Put her up on the 4 post and located rattle with a rubber mallet. Looks like the same place as your second pic @TonyNJ. This is a brace tube about as thin as a Coors can that connects left and right exhausts just fwd of the rear sway bar at the hanger. This is...

Thanks a ton @TonyNJ and @OLD8BA. Gonna go put it up in the air and see what I can figure out. Snapped weld sounds like a winner… I will return with diag.

So on cold starts I all of a sudden got an annoying as hell (read: loud) rattle coming from the left muffler. I haven’t racked it yet to pinpoint exactly where its coming from, but I would swear that it sounds like one of the valves is chattering…except it isn’t. I got behind it when it was...

Nicely done! How do you handle the TDS count to determine when the DI resin is expired?

Any toe out up front is the last thing I'd want (aside from any toe out in back....unless you want to go off to the races under heavy braking). Get underneath and crank it out (after confirming about 3 times which way each tie rod s threaded/travels). Paint pen b/f and after so you can always...

I felt your pain. I bought a 996 GT3 and the PO had the calipers painted yellow to mimic those that come with the carbon rotors. So I went through the exercise and painted them red. Using 2 stage clear was key to the final finish and even though it was the first time I shot anything with it...

Forgot to mention the oil prime feature that is often not discussed. Tried it with oil in the system first to confirm that it in fact operates as described. Clutch in, accelerator to the floor, and press the start button. Engine cranks (sans spark) for about 5 sec. So after topping off oil...

I did a quick pre-op check on my catch can (HF wheeled 5 gal tank with attached pan via tubed risers) and had a moment of clarity (very rare FWIW) when I looked at the restricted hole feeding the down tubes to the tank and realized the goezinta hole was much smaller than the goesoutta hole from...

Heard all the horror stories about oil spraying everywhere during the filter removal so approached the first oil swap with my guard up. I put an extra zip lock bag from Detailed Image around the filter while unscrewing it and all the ‘overflow’ was caught by the bag. Had 3 drips on the...

So after 'field destroying' the first set, the second came with a cracked dash piece, they sent a third that was the wrong dash (3 vs 4 holed dash piece) and the 4th time was the charm. Happy with the fitment and the depth that only CF can bring to the table. The pieces for the back seat needed...
