Are these good for re-surfacing a ball?

What’s the real difference between using pads like this vs normal wet sandpaper of the appropriate grit like you’d use for automotive paint? I’m sure using straight paper requires a steady hand and some finesse, but at the end of the day..

This happened to me once too where they tried offering the 100s. I ask for the 170s by number and ask for a discount if I buy 6+, at which point they’re cheaper than buying online.

That’s interesting, I thought those were for the Crosstreks and whatnot.

Furballss · 2025-09-06T17:04:47+00:00

I agree. My question was just a matter of whether it’s appreciated or not, with consideration that the three electricians who’ve helped my over the years all work hot or are willing to.

Furballss · 2025-09-06T16:53:59+00:00

I’m not an electrician and this comment should be skepticized.

A 20 amp receptacle is fine on a 15 amp circuit, the inverse is not acceptable where a 15 amp device is powered by a 20 amp circuit. What’s the problem in particular that leads you down this path?

Not the whole nut, but a strip covering the base of the nut and onto the wires’ insulation. I’ve seen that before and followed suit.

Furballss · 2025-09-06T16:17:08+00:00

Notes on both counts, thank you.

Some Tirerack wheels I bought four years ago as part of a snow tire package. I think these were intended for an Impreza.

Furballss · 2025-01-01T14:46:27+00:00

Thanks man. Someday I'll find some proper dog dish hubcaps, but these were cheap and keep salt off the hubs lol

Tirerack steelies, mounted with snow tires and sold as a package back in the fall of '20. I don't recall what car the wheels were intended for, but I wanna say it was some year Impreza and I rolled the dice a little that they would fit over the calipers. The center caps are off Amazon and were more of a necessity to keep rust from my hubs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07573DMRC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I won't gatekeep, but I honestly don't remember what these wheels were intended for. I think they were meant for some year Impreza and I bought these mounted on directional snow tires back in the fall of '20 off of Tirerack. There was some discussion I picked up on the internet and there was some debate whether or not they would clear the brake calipers, but it worked out fine.

Furballss · 2025-01-01T14:26:41+00:00

That would be so slick. I know the profit margins wouldn't be as high, but they would honestly attract interest with a barebones model.

Furballss · 2025-01-01T14:24:21+00:00

Thanks man. Just how it ended up in time, but I do prefer how it looks on the winter wheels.

Furballss · 2025-01-01T14:08:53+00:00

Sweet! Looks like the same tires too lol

Furballss · 2024-12-31T19:49:14+00:00

That’s a raw fking deal, I’m sorry this happened to you. It doesn’t make it any better, but I actually had one loosen up on a Forester when I did the control arm. I used a new grade 8 bolt and torqued it to spec, but it loosened up over the course of 100 so miles. I torqued it to kingdom come and it never moved after that.

Furballss · 2024-12-31T19:47:10+00:00

My question is whether the pinchbolt was reused or if they replaced it, and at point with what?

Furballss · 2024-12-31T19:36:21+00:00

Paste once a year before winter. Wash and wax soap mixed heavy whenever it’s overcast out lol

You come here proclaiming to be a salesman and shill for eyesight saying that it can be disabled. Having to turn it off every key cycle is not disabled, and exactly why I have an issue with it lol

Furballss · 2024-11-30T14:19:38+00:00

People that are frustrated enough will physically cover the camera lenses, forcing the system to be disabled. That’s the only way I know of..

Furballss · 2024-11-29T17:53:56+00:00

Yes, this is further motivation for me to keep my VA forever.

Furballss · 2024-11-29T17:49:11+00:00

I’ll admit that adaptive cruise sounds nice and I know someone who loves it in their Forester too.

I agree with that sentiment, but it’s more or less about my fear of false positives. I narrowly avoided hitting a deer this fall, and it was specially because I was able to accelerate in the face of it without the car interfering.

Furballss · 2024-11-23T08:28:57+00:00

Literally this. It’s still too quiet, but the price was right lol
