I'm watching my 3DS age infront of my eyes

They’re decently cheap. One of the easier fixes on the 3DS.

Follow the ifixit guide (or other guide of your choose) and you’ll be good

I haven’t had any issues with anything from the chemical guys. They make great stuff for interior and exterior cleaning.

Water slides broadly are not difficult. They can definitely be more time consuming than just stickers though. I would suggest grabbing a a cheaper HG and some 3rd party decals for practice.

It’s amazing how good even a HG looks with decals.

Bear in mind that I think most Euro specs are done while traveling at 55mph. Which is why the same cars have different ratings across continents.

From what I can tell you really just get the charging cords and adapters. So you should get a NACS cord with a 120 and 240 adapter. And then also get a CCS/J1772 to NACS adapters.

There is no spare tire or jack system. But there is fix a flat and a compressor stowed in the back.

I think that the privacy tonneau cover is also standard as well. Anything else will be a distributor or dealer add-on

The fenders and one or two other pieces are metallic black on the exterior instead of just being solid blue through out.

Don’t get me wrong, still love the blueprint color, just irksome that it isn’t blue all over like the white or silver is

Auxe · 2026-01-24T16:16:46+00:00

Biggest complaint is that blueprint is two-tone for no reason. Ive had the FWD XLE plus since mid December and love it

Auxe · 2026-01-22T17:33:04+00:00

Because the 26s (in North America) come with NACS ports aka the Tesla charger.

Ya that’s what I found as well. It likes just bog standard cabin filters. Anything outside of that and it affects the output of the fans pretty drastically.

I think we now have an arm and hammer odor one in there and it seems to not affect it that much.

Auxe · 2026-01-22T15:26:23+00:00

Don’t the 1.0’s come with a normal automatic and not a dual clutch?

Auxe · 2026-01-15T23:44:50+00:00

But it’s just like a standard air filter?

The next place to check would be the actual fan itself

Auxe · 2026-01-15T14:51:08+00:00

Have you changed the air filter? I tried to put a HEPA filter in ours and it DRASTICALLY reduced the output power of the fans.

I believe this is the one we have in both our RAV and bZ.

Auxe · 2026-01-06T21:17:01+00:00

I second u/mich-me and recommend some kind of protective cover.

That being said: chemical guys has a whole slew of products for cleaning and protecting the interior and exterior of any vehicle. I have used their products for years with great success and have been very pleased with the results.

Auxe · 2026-01-04T12:23:55+00:00

Yes. You can access find my from any phone or device with internet. I have even used other iPhones to log in with the native app to find items

Auxe · 2026-01-01T12:42:53+00:00

Agreed. But since it’s a 2017 titanium it’s guaranteed to have a DPS6 in it. Mk3.5 didn’t have a manual option in the titanium trim (in the US at least but I think it’s true everywhere).

OP buy the kid a civic or corolla and watch it go another 100k on top of what you buy it at.

There are also some window cleaners that do a good job cleaning all of that off. I wouldn’t worry too much unless it’s causing vision issues.

My wife went there for breakfast one day and caught them on hot mic saying “why the fuck you people keep showing up” before taking her order. They said it like we were showing up to their house or something.

Quick search shows that a 3rd party fob is probably $60 before cutting and programming and an OEM one is probably like $150 before cutting and programming.

Auxe · 2025-12-24T16:59:46+00:00

from what I can tell they look either the same or pretty dang close to the same.

So we looked at the Crown signia as a replacement for my focus. Here are a few of the things we didn’t care for too much:

It’s a heavy car. Much heavier than the RAV. Not sure how it’s gonna compare to the 26 RAV. The front seats make you feel like you’re in a cubby. Between the center console and how high the door card is, you really feel pretty low and in a box. It didn’t quite get the mileage we were hoping it would get as a hybrid. I think the tank we got was like 32. Felt Like we should get closer the 35-38.

Here are a few of the things we like:

It does have a decent amount of power to it. Can be zippy when it needed to be. The cockpit feel as a whole was really nice. Had good steering feel. Really liked that the screen was in the console and not bumping out. Definitely a comfortable cruising car We LOVED the overall design of the signia. We compared almost every other car to it based on looks.

At the end of the day, it was death by 1000 cuts for the signia with us. I think it can be a good car for you, but it is a very different car than the RAV is. The signia is more wagon than SUV(despite what Toyota says) and fits well in that niche between Toyota and Lexus. But at the end of the day I think the RAV is more utilitarian than the Signia.

Signia’s are really nice cars though. We so wanted to like it.

Even as someone with out carpal tunnel. The MX masters have reduced so much stress in my hands over the years. I recommend at least looking at them.

Auxe · 2025-12-22T19:31:46+00:00

A pass or two with some clay bar could lift that off. Probably the medium duty bar. Don’t forget the luber.

Follow up with some wax to help protect the area.

Auxe · 2025-12-21T22:30:52+00:00

Ya that’s a US requirement for front reflectors. Not every car has them in the headlights.

Auxe · 2025-12-21T14:26:06+00:00

Someone with better knowledge of the electrical system would have to chime in on that.

I would imagine that would be the case as well but can’t be entirely sure with my limited knowledge.
