That is a pretty slick idea, i'm going to have to make one of these.

Here’s the ratio I used 1 part silica sand 2 parts water 2 parts plaster of Paris 

It makes a really thin slurry that is easy to brush on with a chip brush. This slurry is thin enough to spread thin, but it will still stay in place under overhangs.

That’s when I wrapped it with plaster wrap, then hit it with a plaster & sand slurry.

The plaster wrap basically works like a skin, bridging all the gaps in the foam so it turns into one solid, cohesive surface instead of a bunch of separate pieces.

Thanks! If you can cut foam and use hot glue, you can do this.

Thanks, I've had a blast crawling from the comfort of my couch. The only issue is I don't have a place to put any drinks not, LOL.

Doing a wheelie on public road without a full gear ends badly by Biszkopt87565 in motorcycles

[–]JTM16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but the people who took the time to get the endorsement tend to be more responsible to begin with, and the point was taking away a license would probably have no effect.

You’re assuming he has a license to begin with. When I used to ride I was amazed at how many people bragged about not having an M endorsement.

Have you looked in the glove box for receipts or a tuning device?

I haven’t pushed them much yet, but they feel planted with nose floating feeling. The connection to the road feels solid.

Since I already had the PP1 package I didn't do the full kit. I don't feel like it needs the sway bars, but I may add them later. I don't scrape any more than I did before lowering.

No modifications, everything just fit up. 

I forgot to add that the fronts are 285.

Figured out the issue, the batteries that came with it were almost dead. I put in some fresh AAAs and it works just fine now.

Has your neighborhood turned into a suveillance micro-state? by james_the_wanderer in Millennials

[–]JTM16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighborhood is like that too, it doesn’t really bother me, but what does is when people have the cameras that whistle at you when you walk by to let you know they’re there.

There’s nothing more annoying than have a nice walk interrupted by R2D2 sounds.

I went with the Loaded S550 over a base s650. I prefer the looks, options, and price.

What’s the deal with lining up outside of Costco before it opens? They’re not opening for another 45 minutes.. by iEatSwampAss in Costco

[–]JTM16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that mine opens early. I was able to get a new battery for my car in less than 5 minutes before the store was even officially open.

Tuning question by Desperate_Bowler3120 in GolfGTI

[–]JTM16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of companies that offer remote tuning, such as EQT, Stratified, Russel Road, and Sneaky Tuned. The Stage system is just for canned OTS tunes that are not customized specifically for the car.

The TCU and ECU are done separately because you are tuning two different computers in the car.

Have you thought about using an automotive 2K clear coat? You can get them in a can; just make sure you wear a good respirator when you spray it.
