(Yes, I used Search first.) I have typical ear buds but they get knocked out when I pull on my helmet. Perhaps I need the style that hooks behind my ear. Anyone with experience on this? Looking for ideas and suggestions.

TLDR Use Crescent 13/16 spark plug socket, Capri 10mm 3/8 drive socket (on 3/8 extension slipped through the 13/16 socket), 7/8 crowsfoot, and torque wrench to tighten the strut nut to 60 ft-lb. See first two photos. Keep the crowsfoot at right angle with the torque wrench so that the torque...

J&M camber plates, good condition. $140 shipped.

My detailer wants to ceramic coat the black ABS trim (splitter, rear valence, side skirts) when he does the whole car. Is this a good or bad idea? I worry about hazing, longevity or whatever else. Please note that I am not asking what you use on your trim. I am asking specifically about...

DIY Camber gauge for Steeda plates

Initial setup Jack up the front of the car. Place the gauge onto the 3 studs, pointing outboard. The strut top hex flats need to align parallel with the two inboard studs. The strut shaft can be rotated with a deep 21mm socket and ratchet handle. Rotate the shaft until the alignment looks...

Additional information unique to Steeda camber plates

The movement path is aligned with the 3-stud pattern. This means that the plate moves slightly rearward with negative camber while installed on the car. There is also an associated slight increase in caster. Most camber plates are not symmetrical this way, and the 3-stud pattern is rotated by...

I notched the strut tower hole instead of using hole saw (many pics)

Although I had on hand the Steeda Strut Tower Hole Saw, I instead decided to cut in a notch just sufficient to clear the strut shaft. This turned out to be more work than using the hole saw instead. But I like how it looks. First check was with loose plates for any clearance issues under the...

Our 2020 Explorer has had 3 TMPS sensors drop out, each in turn, and in quick succession the last couple months. Granted the batteries are around 6 years old. The remaining good TPMS is on the wheel with a new tire and new non-OEM TPMS sensor. We will change out the remaining 3 tires next...

I need some remedial PPF work on my hood and bumper. This includes removing the existing film and stripes, which I plan to do myself. I have only had PPF installed during warm weather months. Apparently having the car sit out in the sun helps the process somehow. I am motivated to have this...

I need to remove a partial section of PPF and vinyl stripe related to a repair to my hood. I searched online but could not find any knife that can be adjusted to precisely cut to a depth of 5 or 10 thousandths. Before I DIY my own tool, does anyone have any suggestions?

My helmet expires this year. I stopped at Pegasus while on vacation to try on helmets. Bell B2 Apex fit me the best, compared to other budget brands. The medium felt good. But I did not try a small. Since then I measured my head circumference at 57.5 cm which is exactly in the middle of Bell's...

Installing new magnetic paddle shifters - tips & photos

I think the 10-speed transmission is just great on a road course. But there are a couple things lacking for me. The Problem First, because the steering wheel web is so thick at the 9:00 and 3:00 hand position, I prefer to drive 10:00 and 2:00. (So do some other drivers, I found out.) But that...
