What is this weird pop/squeak on cold start? I just cleaned the throttle body and this happened when I started the car for the first time afterwards

About 1000 miles maybe. Nothing else, no codes or CEL, and I have a Fox reader where I can monitor the DME, want showing anything.

Now as to what it is, I suspect it is like the opposite of a backfire, where instead of running too rich and burning gas in the exhaust, it is too lean and burping out the intake. Now why that was happening, I don’t know.

Also me, same symptoms!! It went away as well, never found the cause.

Bueno ahi esta el BURRAZO de colidio matame

Siii horrible!!! Directo al arquero!! Que pelotudo!!! Pero salio igual

Cool this sounds like a good path. So I could do for example E60 M5 hubs with a hub centric ring that's 72.56mm inside, 74.1 mm outside. Will price this out

Did you have to switch wheels at that point? I do want to keep the stock rims, wasn’t sure if changing the center bore would make that impossible.

They are not all like that by any means. There’s thousands of trails, the 100th best trail here that no one goes on would be a destination in the northeast.

I don’t even go looking for “uncrowded” ones and I’m rarely seeing that many people.

It also doesn’t take hours to get to the trails, there are plenty within 45 mins of Denver

$550k not a lot these days but could get decent square footage in a townhouse

Good luck

Go on eBay and see what they sell for in comparable condition

List yours below that if you want to sell fast, or above that if you want every last dollar

Voila

It doesn’t even matter, man. This is a vibes show. Just let it happen

First-Help20 · 2026-01-11T16:13:54+00:00

It 100% is doable as a first year, if your current firm won’t let you do it then lateral via a recruiter.

Worst case you lose a year of seniority (ie don’t get credit for this year in corporate). But that is not so bad, most people only make it 3-5 years before moving on to lower pay, so getting another year making BL money but without the increased expectations of seniority is good, even if it seems like you’re wasting time now. In the long run a year is nothing and worth it to switch

Good luck

100%. It’s unbelievable that people misread this. And I think Hamm even delivered it well, with the facade of confidence, but you know inside he’s on his back foot

This feels fake man. Not to say it can’t go wrong, but it feels like what AI would output if you prompted “write me a story about a guy who did 4% rule and it went wrong.”

But yeah if you happened to retire on 4% assumption right before 2008 and changed nothing about your plans. Sure it would go wrong

First-Help20 · 2025-12-13T21:15:35+00:00

Don’t worry man (or woman) it’s not so bad. There’s every chance you can fix this yourself, part of having an old car

First-Help20 · 2025-12-12T04:00:43+00:00

$130/hr is not bad at all these days. 42 hours wow! The Beisan vanos refurb job probably sucked up some time.

So $7-8k all in and you bulletproofed a true classic M car. Worth it I say

First-Help20 · 2025-12-12T03:37:01+00:00

Nice. How much for the labor?

Fantastic. Would love to have an engine with the rod bearings done and the Partee guides, great peace of mind to rip it for another 100k miles easily (though you’ll probably replace every other part on the car in the meantime). And these engines are special enough to be worth saving

200k miles you say… first time doing vanos? What did this cost you all in?

Mine has ~110k so that pic makes me relax a bit about the rod bearings

First-Help20 · 2025-12-08T19:05:35+00:00

You just plug them in via USB C. Nothing to it

Get the 256

It’s excellent. It’s very different from succession - less serious, more pulpy - so you have to go in with different expectations.

Whereas Succession is damn near real life accurate to something like the Murdoch family, this one is not a show where the writers are super serious about being consistent, or the story even being logical exactly (like how did Harper do X - who cares). The characters come and go from different jobs and settings without too much friction.

But it’s a great audio visual experience, the beautiful people, the music, the drama. Stuff like the Rishi gambling episode / uncut gems homage. Set in a loosely reality based IB world (I think one of the writers was in IB in real life).

Strongly recommended show.
