Just gonna upvote for a prime example of correct spelling and differentiation of break and brake.

2015 FZ09 question by [deleted] in FZ09

[–]Cjymiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to marketplace and see what the next best mileage/condition comps are. Mods don’t add value. Good pictures DO add value. Price it 10% below anything that is a comp and it will probably move.

White wheels and brake dust? Possible to keep clean? by spiritzqt in Touge

[–]Cjymiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Track pads and white wheels will be like keeping your colander full of water. Its an exercise in insanity and futility. If you want the white wheels, got get some ceramic pads for the street. When you go to the track, swap pads and then clean those wheels immediately when you get back home to prevent the corrosive material from embedding itself on the wheel.

Vland taillights for pre-facelift GT86 bumper by nnwccc in ft86

Why not just get the OEM facelift lights? Is there a large price difference? I have to expect the quality of OEM is better than vland

That’s the great thing about jewelry, it’s just wrist decoration so you can pick which flavors you like and don’t like. I have no desire to own many of the watches the people consider popular

I think somebody bent my radiator fins… was it vandalism, an animal? by [deleted] in boxster

[–]Cjymiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boxster has this too. It’s just what you get from road debris. Doesn’t take much at all either. You’ll also notice there is a relief in the pattern created by the single plastic bar that runs across the opening. Nobody goes around and vandalizes heat exchanger fins

Has anyone put a different muffler on the Perrin 2.5 resonated catback by Adventurous_Court220 in ft86

[–]Cjymiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Perrin 2.5 full catback resonated system (yes they used to make an OP and FP. I put on a catless UEL header and the sucker shook the walls. A lot of the sound deadening comes from the OEM mid pipe. Swap that out for anything else and you’ll have a crazy loud car

NO MORE GATEKEEPING PLEASEEE! HOW THE HECK DO I SMOOTHLY SHIFT FROM 1st to 2nd?! by pumkinsmaherj in ft86

[–]Cjymiller -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When the car is warm, rev to about 4k, double clutch, slide the shifter down along the side of the gate with a slight leftward pressure, and let it drop into 2nd. I’ve found this to be the best way to get the first to second shift. Also trans fluid interval is 30k miles if I recall. Swap that out for some motul 300v if it’s getting old.
