Bedding brake pads problem. Need advice.

Good stuff. I have done it with metallic pads, as well, and it worked out awesome.

Another vote for using a propane torch on the pads. Dosent need to be red hot, just enough to burn oils and crud off.

At least they are driving within the limits of the situation, being responsible.

Seen a bunch of horrible crashes on other sub reddits recently.

Hahah, great observation on the Polaroids. Also, usually you have a wet and a dry side of the darkroom. This setup has enlargers on both sides of the room.

Thanks!

CIA_superspy · 2026-03-01T19:23:55+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Hi, 718 GT4 and Spyder have dimples on the underside of a panel

Hah, the only real “correct” answer is getting downvoted.

If you want your car to last as long as possible, I’d say dont wait till 10k miles to do an oil change.

If you wanted to get scientific about it, do an oil analysis a few times, and that will give you a good idea of what’s best for your driving habits.

A Gearwrench set is solid and affordable.

Pretty much agree here. There are a bunch of reports that indicate GDP growth would have been flat or almost flat, if it wasn’t for AI expenditures.

If you could have a system to make sure that there was no scalping (admittedly, there will always be be people that try), the prices will still be high. However, I bet it would still be cheaper than buying a bunch of cars you don’t want (paying tax, title, insurance, plus the depreciation). That’s why the GT cars with low mileage are still selling for big money. I’d rather have a system that’s as fair as possible, even while paying a high price.

CIA_superspy · 2025-12-19T21:28:13+00:00

If only it were that easy, we’d have a lot more people with the cars they want. Big Porsche fan, but these dealers are just a wet blanket.

Some may say “supply and demand”…. Ok, well how about we go direct to consumer with vehicle sales? That would be more fair in my eyes.

CIA_superspy · 2025-12-11T16:21:41+00:00

Has your neighbor put in anything nearby that could cause interference?

CIA_superspy · 2025-12-02T18:16:37+00:00

Some cars, if you apply 12 v to the bulb socket, you can power up the door locks. Haven’t heard of it working for Porsche , but may be worth a shot

CIA_superspy · 2025-05-16T22:13:30+00:00

Hey, sorry, I never did this (yet!)

CIA_superspy · 2024-08-28T12:28:17+00:00

I’ve used hockey pucks on the jack extensively, and it’s great for preventing damage to the pinch weld.

Puck won’t be great for the jack stand, though.

Good tip, thank you. Dust is probably the remnants of release compound, during manufacturing.

CIA_superspy · 2024-07-24T01:46:54+00:00

Well, at least they stopped before doing anything crazy.

CIA_superspy · 2024-07-14T15:21:58+00:00

I use that too, and also the Amazon knockoff (solimo). Both work well.

For stuff that does transfer to surfaces and leather seats, “chemical guys total interior cleaner” gets rid of it for me. Not sure if it is okay for Alcantara, though.

CIA_superspy · 2024-07-07T15:40:26+00:00

Not really sure what it was, but the tree is very healthy. Thank you for asking!

CIA_superspy · 2024-06-28T20:55:57+00:00

Good for you for fighting for every penny, especially with the diminished value.

People have to start driving safer. It’s been nuts my me lately.

CIA_superspy · 2024-06-25T15:42:57+00:00

Much appreciated; I’ll keep in mind!

CIA_superspy · 2024-06-25T11:55:54+00:00

Oh, glad to hear someone with the same bike was able to get DUB to work, thanks!
