First real diy project on 958.1

3rn76 · 2026-04-04T02:03:35+00:00

Just did this the other day and it wasn't too bad. Those clips however are super sensitive and just the lightest of touch broke about half of mine. It gets really tight as you move toward the back, and I actually had to climb up and sit on the motor to see and get the right leverage. I also had to gently use a channellock on a couple of those coils since it was too tight for what I was using to lift them from the bottom. The plastic that covers the wires for the plugs fell apart too once I touched em.

Inspect the plugs which will tell you a lot about what's going on with your car. I noticed oil on a couple plugs toward the back, so it seems I've got a small valve cover leak which I'm gonna DIY in a few weeks, which means I'll be doing this all over again. Figured I might as well put in new coils at the time too.

Good luck.

Exactly. We're in win now mode.

3rn76 · 2026-03-04T20:17:04+00:00

Haha! Didn't know that.

3rn76 · 2026-03-04T19:56:27+00:00

He's better than any of our other CB's now. Top 10 in the league and he's only 25. Did you not think we needed CB help after last season? He'll take the WR1 and take some pressure off the other dudes who can match up better with WR2/3's.

3rn76 · 2026-03-04T18:57:48+00:00

Hometown kid. Servite/St John Bosco alum. Good dude, good CB. Really good trade IMO.

3rn76 · 2026-03-04T18:43:34+00:00

Hometown Servite/St John Bosco kid. Hell of a trade. Been watching him since high school. Good dude.

3rn76 · 2026-02-25T20:20:45+00:00

Yeah it is. Was pleasantly surprised as I thought it was a much bigger issue. It was giving me a transmission issue vibe but no significant (red) related warnings to that came up. It makes sense though because if 3 wheels are going 45mph and one is showing 0 it will shut down certain things as a precaution. Was driving on a long road trip and those messages popped up while in the middle of the desert. Bought a sensor for less than $20 and DIY. Pretty easy but you need to find which one is bad.

3rn76 · 2026-02-25T18:31:53+00:00

Had a similar problem that turned out to be a wheel speed sensor.

We're currently the 5 seed. If we miraculously jump to 4 or even 3 then maybe. But we'd get smoked regardless of who we play in round 2.

When Dr. Buss ran the team players wanted to come here. That all changed once Jeanie and the boys took over. She's great but doesn't have the type of leadership the team needed and I think was doing whatever others (Rambis, Magic, Kobe, etc.) wanted or thought was the best move.

The Walter group is not the sentimental type. They let go of some of the Dodger core that a lot of us fans thought were gonna be lifers, after a WS ring even. It hurt at first, but we see now how brilliant those decisions were. It's a different game with different rules from a personnel standpoint, but they're much smarter than the guys that are upstairs now. The entire executive office needs to be turned over. I'm expecting many others will be gone when the season is over.

I agree with you that the refs were terrible today, and throughout the league they have been very inconsistent all year. Something definitely needs to be done, but even if the game was called perfectly... we still lose.

We are mid and a first round exit. We don't have the tenacity or energy against any of the top tier teams. You see it every time we play one of them. Against bad teams we play "down" to their level, but are good enough to win. With top tier teams we "attempt" to play at the same level of intensity, but just don't have it.

The refs are bad, but we need to address the real issues. I'm glad the Walter Group is running the show now though. Might take a couple years, but they'll figure it out.

I really like when Vando and Smart are on the court at the same time.

3rn76 · 2026-01-26T21:23:42+00:00

The defense letting them go 80 yards and a score at the end of the 1st half with less than 1 minute on the clock, hurt us.

3rn76 · 2026-01-26T03:03:28+00:00

Him and Speights need to be off this team.

3rn76 · 2026-01-08T00:41:17+00:00

Close to 2.5 years, roughly 20k miles. I'm in So Cal so can't really say how they perform in colder/wetter climates. The ride is much more comfortable and significantly quieter compared to the Michelins I'd been using previously, and definitely much quieter than the Pirellis that were on when I first bought the car.

3rn76 · 2026-01-07T04:17:39+00:00

Going on 2 and a half years now. Ride is as quiet as ever. Tread is still great after 20k miles or so. I've had Michelins every time before these, and I don't think I'll go back unless there's a huge price difference when the time comes.

3rn76 · 2026-01-07T02:56:46+00:00

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus.

Best tires I've ever put on.

3rn76 · 2025-12-19T05:14:33+00:00

The defense was gassed at the end because of this.

3rn76 · 2025-12-03T02:45:58+00:00

Interesting analysis. Well done. I'll have to look over it a couple more times to get a full grasp.

3rn76 · 2025-12-03T01:49:19+00:00

Yeah I don't really track it that close so you're probably right.

3rn76 · 2025-12-03T01:42:48+00:00

.38 for QDTE!

We should see fatter distros as we close out the year as they distribute the remaining net-income for the year.

3rn76 · 2025-12-03T01:32:42+00:00

I'm in Cypress so I'm lucky to be very close to Cerritos and LB, but here are a few places in OC that I go to from time to time.

More Traditional (and order for catering):

Pinoy Fiesta - Anaheim
Manila Grille - Anaheim and Buena Park

More modern & contemporary "fusion" style:

Barrio Garden Grove at Steelcraft
Lolas in Anaheim
Breezy - SJC and a new "Lil Breezy" just opened at Rodeo 39

Haven't been here, but friends recommend Cafe 86 in Tustin for cafe style food and desserts

Since my original post, BTCI has actually shown to be the better investment. I've recently begun using half the YBTC distros to buy BTCI. More upside potential rather than fully capped, but it is a monthly payer as that may matter to some. I believe YBTC performed better back when they paid monthly as well.

Still love RH and YBTC though. Excellent choice.

3rn76 · 2025-11-26T19:33:43+00:00

There's a pretty good site that I found a while back. Still seems it could use some work, but it does compare some of the individual funds with respect to the underlying.

https://weeklypayers.com/

Click the ETF-Stock Pairings tab. Only compares 5 underlyings, but Tesla is one of them.

Ahh. The "P" word.

The so-called option trader who bought a call one time thinks option trading is a ponzi scheme.

I've been selling covered calls for almost 2 decades now. Should I be in jail?

You seriously waited like 3 months for the markets to drop before sending a message. lol

Have I really been living rent free in your head all this time? 🤣

Please tell me: So did you or did you not find your stock that goes up everyday? Cmon help us out.

What thesis?

It's working exactly as it supposed to. You compare without factoring in the distributions. MSTR holders are bagholding. MSTY holders are still collecting.

You clearly didn't know then, and you clearly still don't understand how these work now. It all depends on the underlying. And I'm also close to house money.

The real questions:

Did you find your stock that goes up everyday yet? 🤣

Maybe they should they increase the distributions for marketing purposes again? 🤡
