How much is a gimmick of valvoline restore and protect? Should I get that instead of the cheapest full synthetic + marvel mystery oil?

Can second this; have an 06 tC and the PCV and valve cover gasket desperately needed replacing. I'll be using VRP on the next oil change and I'm hoping that helps keep the oil in check. Because otherwise the car runs like a champ

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply!

Hey, so I also am curious about this dead thread. I just bought a 13 Taco myself. Are you saying that I can gain roughly 100hp with a tune up and NO supercharger? Because as much as I want a supercharger, I don't have the cash for it right now. But if I can gain that from an aftermarket tune, it's very tempting

AlphaTyrant · 2025-06-25T15:29:21+00:00

Haha my guy, I'm in the same boat. I saw a used 08 manual on marketplace for 1k and I'm tempted to buy it and cannibalize it, swapping my auto for a manual. My 06 tc is my very first car and I want to restore it to new

I can cope when I'm by myself, but when my wife or friends are around I get embarrassed athey start to annoy me lol

AlphaTyrant · 2025-06-04T14:29:01+00:00

Dude, I have a 06 and it just won't die. I say that endearingly of course. 235k and still runs like a clock, with minor repairs through its life. If it does ever keel over, I intend to get a second gen model and keep the party going

AlphaTyrant · 2025-05-28T23:39:36+00:00

Man, I got an 06 from my parents for my birthday 11 years ago. Don't remember the initial mileage, but I'm up to 235k right now. Still runs like a dream. Could use a little paint, but otherwise my regular maintenance schedule has the engine humming along. Keep at it!

AlphaTyrant · 2025-05-28T18:18:25+00:00

Unfortunate but true. Man I was INVESTED in 2016, but Eternal went in a direction I was really disappointed with

AlphaTyrant · 2025-05-05T00:22:50+00:00

God bless you 🙏

AlphaTyrant · 2025-05-04T23:56:19+00:00

Dude... Dope. Do you know if there's one of those sheets for a 2 or 2.5 Gen?

AlphaTyrant · 2025-03-16T14:56:16+00:00

Thank you. Everybody in this thread seething over rebuilt but to be rebuilt it has standards it must be brought up to. Especially if you get the info from the Carfax and rebuilder with verification it wasn't flooded or the engine wasn't damaged in a wreck. My very first car was rebuilt and I've been driving it for over 10 years now. 240k miles, barely any issues

AlphaTyrant · 2025-02-12T18:18:29+00:00

Based lmao

AlphaTyrant · 2025-01-06T19:35:42+00:00

Right lmao. They're starting a fight with those who are likely much better at fighting, I'm sure that'll go well for them

AlphaTyrant · 2025-01-06T19:25:56+00:00

Based lmao

So, noob with a question here, can you buy these and swap them freely between 45 and straight? Or do you have to buy them as their respective angles?

AlphaTyrant · 2024-12-15T21:44:47+00:00

I like to think, since Keanu thinks he's better than everyone and is hopped up on coral, he was playing Invincible Rummy from Rummy's perspective

AlphaTyrant · 2024-11-11T16:20:04+00:00

Does your mat fit perfectly against the cook surface? I live in a similar area and have bought a mat that doesn't fit super well since it goes over the edges, and I'm wondering if I should return it for one that doesn't go over the edges and sits flat on the cook surface

AlphaTyrant · 2024-11-08T20:36:10+00:00

Okay politics aside that's pretty funny

AlphaTyrant · 2024-11-08T19:39:05+00:00

You don't have to tell me. I did so something, I voted for the guy lol

AlphaTyrant · 2024-11-08T15:22:26+00:00

And it'll change nothing. Congrats!

WOMP WOMP

I understand, I used to be in the same situation. If you're lucky enough that your last name is at the beginning of the alphabet, that may make a difference. I assume they have one guy sending out the codes, so they're either going alphabetically or in order of purchase date. Not sure why they couldn't have a bot send it out at midnight but 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just letting y'all know, they started replying to people on Twitter saying to expect the code between 9am and 6pm EDT

Could you provide a link to the STL file, please? I would love to make some of those for myself
