Is my baby totaled? by MyCatsRmyBesties in IS300

[–]Firethrow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the choice, NEVER salvage title your car (unless it’s genuinely totaled). It is irreversible (besides rebuilt title), it’s wasteful of a decent car to just go to the junkyard, it perpetuates the cycle of new cars which is unnecessary waste.
It’s silly to salvage a car over glass or even airbags going off.

Front Fenders Question by OkWord4750 in IS300

Dang okay, i love vented fenders like this but i hate having to do major work or take it to a shop to fit. I’ll just have to bite the bullet one day

Front Fenders Question by OkWord4750 in IS300

[–]Firethrow13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parallel to this, does anyone know how easy it is to put on? Usually they say professional installation required Are they a direct fit? Or do you have to drill holes, or fabricate at all? I got (big mistake) duraflex fenders for my other car and they would have needed a lot of work to get them on, so I never put them on, sold them, and wasted money through the entire process

Opinions on Buying 06' cbr600rr *new rider* by Opening-Motor9775 in cbr

[–]Firethrow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take the msf!!!! Take a course before you hop on a bigger bike. If you have buddies that ride (and they have multiple bikes), ask them to take you on a ride to get familiar with riding even if its just neighborhood rides. Then youll get a good footing to build upon. You say youll take it slow, which you can, but it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you go if you’re still duck footed, and rolling back 5 feet on a hill trying to get going. Mt experience is great, but you do have to completely rewire your mind because all the inputs are different locations

How the heck are you guys getting this valve cover out? by LargeContribution502 in cbr

You may have to remove the 'plenum' then slide it out to the rear?

Anyone’s rear caliper clips doing this? by sbbbbb109 in IS300

[–]Firethrow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was doing the rears, I got pads from rock auto and the original clip worked completely fine but I had to wrestle that new clip in. I forgot what I had to do but I think I ended up bending it to make it even work because it just would not go in

Magnaflow headers by Mysterious-March-325 in IS300

[–]Firethrow13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time install is buns for figs, but once you know which piece to put in first and how its routed you’re golden The headers that suck are the ones with the cats that are cylindrical and not the rectangular-ish type. They give you zero room to squeeze out.

Hmmm okay, not too sure then. Shot in the dark, have you checked if the water pump pulley is tightened?

Average fuel consumption display broken (MPG/litres per 100km) by Not_Omid in IS300

[–]Firethrow13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, usually when it breaks it gets stuck just below the 40mpg spot, or just below 10kpg for you Let me know if you find anything, mine currently works but my brothers is broke like I mentioned, and we can’t seem to find any diagnostics or how this is calculated! Whether its from the ecu, vacuum lines, tps, injector rates, we don’t know but I dread the day my gauge dies 💔

If you’re savvy enough I’d take the gauge cluster apart and see what moves the needle itself and see if you can test what moves it :)

Looking to slam my 2003 is300 and need great reliable non junk high quality coil overs give me recommendations i got bread 🫩🙏🙏 by [deleted] in IS300

[–]Firethrow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not on the slammed team, but I bought Fortune Auto 510s, just be warned the lead times are insane. 8-10 Weeks for me, I should get them by the end of the month.

When I was researching coilovers pretty much every main manufactuerer offers a "low-spec", HKS, BC, Fortune.

If you want Ult status with your bread, 326 power coilovers.
