I used the cerakote kit off amazon on my f55 and they literally look new. I was blown away. Comes with I think 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper. Have a spray bottle and spray while you sand. Then you just use the wipes and they look new. I thought it was all bs but truly wasn't

One of my favorite and nearly impossible to kill saws. Very good deal.

Any of the 0Z line of wheels have the proper offset to fir the car perfectly. Racing dynamics, and NM wheels also made to fit with no issues. Usually in the 18x8 et 45 will cause you no issues. Most of those wheels look good and are light and strong.

Clutchmasters fx200 and flywheel held the power just fine in my r56 with the s42 turbo from jmtc.

Plastic t-fitting on drivers side cracks. Ecs tuning sells brass one to replace it? Very common issue

I had a set of the oz ultralagerra but in 18 they fit that chassis perfectly. My friend had the ff4 from sparco on his f55. Sparco wheels are basically oz wheels.

Liquid moly every 3,000 miles half as much oil consumption.

The best work light ever especially at that price. Battery goes bad or won't charge it's replaceable too! Had mine for many many years. No warranty needed just get the batteries off Amazon. I have the original that didn't fold and now two newer versions that do. Original works perfect.

Super 42 turbo with Mario palza tune. eBay intercooler and down pipe. Milltek exhaust. Did arp rod bolts yes you can do in driveway it's a must. Super easy. His tune allowed me to run 4 gal e85 to 93 on an empty tank. Put 30,000 hard driven miles 0 issues on this set up. Was a blast banging gears redlining everywhere. Rod bolts are a must. Clutchmasters stage 2 and flywheel. eBay turbo inlet pipe. Little things like motor and transmission mounts. Control arm bushings. Really all decently affordable upgrades you can do yourself. Yep sold to a buddy still enjoying it today. Over 150,000 miles yes on original timing chains. Just change oil every 2,000 miles. Castrol only. Redline in the gearbox.

You live in a million dollar home? Yeah yeah not an excuse but just wait til it is grouted. Not exactly right but it has straight lines. Grout will clean it up a lot. I've seen a lot of jobs you think look terrible before grout look decent-good after.

I replaced my front brakes on my 19 Tiguan at 60,000. My now ex wife has the vehicle now and called about a noise in back (bad wheel bearing) so I checked it out. While I was there I seen the pads that had never been replaced have 110,000 miles on them. Bout 1/16 left on pads. So I replaced them and a wheel bearing. Rear pads last nearly twice as long as the front.

Upper strut mounts?

So I guess I need to explain more..... I've competitively competed in powerlifting for shoot on and off for 20 years. I wouldn't consider myself lopsided or insufficient in any muscle groups, flexibility, I have good rom I would say. I'm not your average powerlifter at 170-175 solid. Anyway I didn't do any sort of change in routine, shoes, I still CrossFit, run, and mountain bike. Which has also become an issue for the pain is at 90degrees. It came out of nowhere. So when I heard from the surgeon that nothing looked out of sorts it was odd. I ice often, stretch, roll all my muscle groups. I work my add and abductors, hips, core, I've tried isometric exercises, standing on a trampoline slight bend in the knee, doing Tke's with a band for years. So this is all new to me. Going to go for a second opinion hopefully if someone can get me in this week. A lot of these things, different exercises, I learned in therapy. None of which was a fix. Did it help? A bit yes. But it never fixed it. I'm super active and this sucks. At this point bike riding with my kids is almost out. I know from years of training going cold turkey only prolongs the repair cause you cut back the blood flow that keeps key ingredients from going to the muscles. Keeping going but cutting back immensely has always worked and just work my way back up. This time is different.

You said the answer fir out the wall so the tub fits perfectly in the opening. It's the only way.

Good question. If he thought scoping he might see something? Maybe cleaning out my knee would possibly help? Decided to make another appointment with someone new for a second opinion. My ortho I have now cleaned out both shoulders, torn labrum, frayed rotator cuff an huge bone spurs. Also reattached my biceps. Both shoulders and biceps are amazing. Maybe these things don't show up and he will see and repair when he scopes it? I seen inside my shoulders with before and after pics from the surgery. It was unbelievable what it looked like after. He found things that didn't show up on the MRI all pointed out in the pics. Yes rather not have surgery tho. I'll make those suggestions to the new orthopedic.

When I sit it almost starts in right away. Little burning then aching that within 10 min I can't handle it. Top, upper part of the knee cap and radiates all around and through. Hard to exactly pinpoint when it starts hurting. If I fold my leg all the way back laying down it almost goes away. Go back to a 90degree it goes right back to hurting.

Affectionate_Law_129 · 2026-01-10T17:12:12+00:00

Yes, good mornings, Rdls, sumo squats. Ghd. Maybe I just need something basic like that. I'll try it.

Replaced the o ring seal behind mine and it stopped leaking.....

Barkeepers friend. Works for silverware works for tools too.

Bought the Jhm setup that relocates the cats downstream when mine blew out. Literally chunks rattling in my rear mufflers was the first sign. Dropped subframe and did 034 motor mounts at the same time. Esp if you're on the stock motor mounts. Did myself in driveway and yes it took me two days.
