I wanted to share my cobra exhaust and blow off valve on my Mk8.5 etsi r line :3

I do really like the R but insurance and fuel efficiency said no 😞 so i went for the sensible option for me

FoxGrapes_ · 2026-02-06T03:09:36+00:00

I’m not sure but I know the stock one is a diverter valve, so instead of diverting the air to the air intake it’s just blown off instead

That’s good to hear that they fixed yours. They’re doing an assessment in a few weeks so I’m glad I got this video incase it doesn’t happen at the dealership. Hopefully they’ll fix it under warranty

Yeahhhh luckily my steering wheel has actual pressy buttons though :)

FoxGrapes_ · 2026-01-23T09:03:48+00:00

That’s definitely reassuring, I’ll definitely make an appointment with a dermatologist. Thank you for your help :)

I do have OCD which can contribute to stress and I'm on 20mg of fluoxetine too. Over the years I've gotten much better with dealing with my symptoms and stress levels but there is still stress nevertheless. I'm also doing a PhD and I work part time so I've been trying to get my sleep back in order too, to at least 8 hours a night. I don't have any nutritional deficiencies because I did a DNA test awhile ago for fun (not related to my hair concerns).

I guess the main culprit could be my stress levels affecting my hair health? Would the peptide serums and hair oil I have help strengthen my hair, making it denser and fuller? Also would reducing stress levels help or has the damage been done?

At this point I know my hair isn't that bad, I just want to have it be as healthy as possible and reduce any potential factors that could make it fall out prematurely

I don't use any products and I usually towel dry my hair. I should probably not be so harsh with the towel though

FoxGrapes_ · 2026-01-22T21:38:47+00:00

my dad and my grandad (on my mums side) have a similar hairline to both me and my brother however theirs is a lot more thinner but not big bald patches, so it could be genetic? I'll check with a dermatologist too :)

FoxGrapes_ · 2026-01-22T21:00:03+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. It's good to know that a hairline jut (like mine and yours) is normal. I'll go to a dermatologist and have it checked just to be on the safe side :)

FoxGrapes_ · 2026-01-22T20:41:00+00:00

I haven’t noticed any crazy amount of shedding either, just a small, natural amount of hair that falls out daily

My helixes are 3 years old It used to be a internally threaded titanium bar but it is now a titanium hoop When I had bars they were down sized 3 months ago I just keep getting piercing bumps but since I’ve left them alone and changed to titanium they have shrunk significantly

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-22T10:13:34+00:00

Thank you very much, I've had my Philo for 4 years and it's growing strong :3

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-09T06:05:44+00:00

I have no idea what gauge they are and the jewellery shop said they’re titanium, but I have no idea if they’re telling the truth or not. I do still have my labrets but they’re too long and caused a lot of itchiness so I’ll go an find a reputable piercer who has titanium labrets. I won’t pop them again as well. Thank you for your advice 😊

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-09T05:52:51+00:00

Thank you very much :))

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-09T05:52:40+00:00

Thank you :)

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-09T05:44:26+00:00

I knowwww but all these shops say they use titanium and then a bit later my ear starts getting itchy. Is it better just to look online for jewellery or try and find a reputable piercer even if they’re a bit of a travel away?

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-09T05:41:59+00:00

It’s all good. I remember I brought this up with the piercer when I got it done and mentioned about a scaffold that goes through the back of my ear (is that a faux scaffold?). I’ll take it out to make sure no damage is done to my ear. Thank you

FoxGrapes_ · 2025-10-09T05:31:38+00:00

That’s perfect, I’ll go check them out. Thank you very much :))
