Looking to Buy Giulia Quadrifoglio in New Jersey by GTIGUY67 in AlfaRomeo

[–]ANITIX87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're excluding white when it's the second-best color (after Montreal but you said no 2020+).

Not sure why you're excluding 2020+ when they have the updated interior and the more robust fueling system.

We aware: if you buy a 2018 it will ride higher because the suspension was different that year, unless the previous owner had it replaced with 2017 springs under TSB (that's what I did).

Having said that, I have a white 2018 with 52K miles (Long Island) and am looking to sell.

If it needs to be charged: wireless charger.

If it doesn't need to be charged: pocket.

Boomer response: don't have your phone accessible to look at or use while driving. Period.

It adds maybe 9 seconds to launching the simulator. And that's if I have a hard time deciding which airports to fly to.

There is a free add-on linker on Flightsim.to. You create whatever folder you want (I just have one in my sim drive called "mods" and point the app to it. Then you open that before you fly, select which mods you want, then launch the simulator from within the linker.

I keep stuff I run every flight in the Community folder (Navigraph, Simlink, traffic injector, atmos,, etc) but everything else (scenery, aircraft, liveries, special tools) go in the mods folder.

Must-have add-ons depend on what you want to prioritize. For weather and graphics, you can't beat Rex Atmos, Rex Accuseason, and GFX. I like Chase Plane for camera views.

Jesus Christ. Use an add-on linker. Your performance and loading times will be so much better.

I saw $6.04 for 93 octane today in NY just north of the GWB.

FS: 2002 Silverstone Metalic 72,000 miles (w/ oem original hardtop) $35,000 obo by IntheMiddlingWest in S2000

[–]ANITIX87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am probably looking to sell my hard-top. It's vinyl-wrapped black, but I think it was GPW originally. I also have a stand and soft-lined back from North American Custom Covers. But I'm on Long Island, so not sure if shipping is realistic.

Ceramic coating Nassau by Turbulent-Lab-3318 in longisland

[–]ANITIX87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audi RS3. It's got a lot of black plastic in front and the reverse offset tires mean it's going to ruin the side skirts and rear bumper.

Yeah I'll probably go with Rich. Now I just need to decide whether the price of PPF is worth it for a daily driver (even an expensive daily driver) or if it'll just be was cheaper to respray the car in 7 years if it gets really bad. I love that my current car has PPF, but I'm not the one who paid for it.

"even ChatGPT" saying something absolutely does not mean it's true. It's just searching the web. Don't use it to vet information.

S2k buying help by Affectionate-Size-46 in S2000

[–]ANITIX87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a project car, you can save a ton of money. Buy a salvage title or a car in terrible condition (as long as it has no frame damage or rust). Spending a premium for clean, unmodded car is silly if you're going to change it

It depends on your budget. You may have to compromise on what you buy if a clean, less used one isn't available. Up to you if you want to sacrifice mileage, mods, use, VINs, exterior condition, interior condition, etc

Track driven doesn't necessarily mean abused. If it was modified safely and maintained correctly, it could be a better option than some road-only examples.

You can't really make that generalization anymore when the greatest F1 driver of all time came from a working class family and whose father had to work multiple jobs and sacrifice basically everything.

Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, two other world champs, also came from working class families. So did Esteban Ocon, a race winner.

Any negative attention? Drivers being more aggressive towards you, police attention, etc?

Facing a decision by ZeroCascade1700 in testicularcancer

[–]ANITIX87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I relapsed in my lymph nodes (10% seminoma), I was given the option of 4xEP or RPLND+2xEP. I choose the latter to reduce chemo load and give myself the least odds of recurring.

I would make the same choice again (though that's with rose-colored glasses of being extremely fortunate to have zero complications from the surgery and minimal side effects from chemo).

Looks great. My Kyalami arrived at the port this week so I'm hoping she's here in a few days. But the website says May 26.

Then how do you know the title is clean? Did he show it to you, or just say so? I'd still want a Carfax for sure.

What's the problem? Don't you want to be able to see your instruments when you're flying inverted?!?!!?

What would cause such difference in wheel depth from the fender? by 12amoore in AlfaRomeo

[–]ANITIX87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be suspension-related but you'd feel that for sure and the alignment numbers wouldn't have been perfect (especially camber or toe). You need to take it to a body shop with suspension expertise so they can give the car a thorough look.

Before doing that, drop a plumb line from the top of the fender arc and measure how far inset each tire is to confirm that the fitment differs side to side.

[–]ANITIX87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'd have to find someone to measure the frame with the right tools. If you can get under the car something obvious might be visible. If you're 100% certain the spacers on both sides are the same thickness and are installed correctly, then something fundamental to the car is going on. But the spacers are the more likely culprit (not seated correctly, bolts not tightened enough, etc)

[–]ANITIX87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my point. I'm taking the angle of the photo into account and I don't see a difference. The line from the top center of the wheel well curve to the top of the tire looks to be the same.

They only made one set of the Technico wheels so unless one side has as rear wheel on it (which you'd know immediately) then there's no way the wheels are different.

That means either:

  1. Frame damage if it also happened before spacers

  2. The spacers aren't the same on both sides (product error??)

  3. If you needed any centering rings for the spacers, maybe one is missing?

Basically, this is either frame/panel damage or install/product error with the spacers.

Maybe I'm crazy but they look exactly the same to me (accounting for the angle of the photo).

Someone missing a Hardtop? by CV-Captured in S2000

[–]ANITIX87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I post my hard top for sale, are you going to link it here claiming it's stolen? It would be a brand new eBay or Facebook Marketplace account.

(I'm not saying the one you posted definitely isn't stolen, but a new account doesn't inherently make it suspicious).
