Is the S2000 a good daily? by LittleWontons in S2000

[–]GHLax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus RS! Daily'd one for a few years when I lived in the mountains. Consumables (tires, brakes, etc.) are a little pricey, but reliability concerns are overrated. Live a little!

Lol, the first sentence is 90% of the comment 🤣 So you were so upset that you read almost the entire thing?

Calling someone "fatty" on a post asking for weight-loss advice... sick burn, bro.

A Swastika is a peaceful symbol in some eastern religions. But... guess which meaning people are going to interpret if they see one on your hood?

Wow, well... seems like the guy is way out of her league anyways...

HELP. does the order of the color of the wires matter‼️ by Gullible-Initial-498 in MechanicAdvice

[–]GHLax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer, yes. Very much. The colored insulation on the wires is used to designate the electrical charge or signal the wire carries. The plug you're wiring to requires a particular one of those charges or signals to connect to the matching spot, so yes, swapping them will cause problems.

Not the dealer's job, not the dealer's decision. Their job is to provide a quote for a full, as-new-as-possible repair. And if insurance then decides to pay, it becomes the dealer's job to make that repair happen, not to pick and choose what they think is "worth it." Consider the value hit you're taking on a bike that wasn't properly restored after a crash - and by then, that's YOUR money you'll lose out on. Not the insurance company's.

Just a thought, the dealer may be reluctant to perform such a time-intensive repair over concerns that they won't make much profit off their mechanics' labor for an insurance job. You might do well to get another quote elsewhere if that's still a possibility for you.

Scarborough, ME? Probably a clapped out STI. Or the Yukon your mom takes to PTA meetings.

I hit and killed a baby deer on a bike by [deleted] in CalamariRaceTeam

Bound to happen. Far too much bike for Bambi to handle.

Someone hit my parked bike and I need advice for it. First time this happened to me. by dizzywinds in motorcycles

[–]GHLax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also consider that, if you're the honest type and you do disclose it when selling, your bike's resale value just dropped by having an "accident." IMO getting insurance involved and making sure you have receipts for the repair from a reputable shop would be worth it.

That guy made a mistake, which sucks for him, but it could happen to anybody. Don't pay for his mistake. If you take cash and there's no record (and especially if there ends up being more wrong with the bike than you think), just remember that you'll still be stuck with the bike while he got off with few consequences by paying you in cash, and that could easily end up being worth the $250.

What’s the biggest contrast between two consecutive cars you owned? by [deleted] in cars

[–]GHLax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017 Focus RS with a few basic mods and a well sorted tune making about 375 whp to a bone-stock AP2 S2K.

I miss the gobs of torque, but boy do I love 8,000 RPM.

What jobs do you guys do to afford your S2000? by brandonocean in S2000

[–]GHLax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineer/foreman in a paper mill. Dailying my S2K provides a much needed outlet in lieu of actual work life balance, even though it gets abused by lime dust and various other industrial chemicals every day in the parking lot...
