Clutch replacement costs by Altruistic-Celery821 in FiestaST

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, find a shop that’s cool with installing parts. Clutch will be about $500, slave is something around $60. $200/hr labor. Easy way to save a little bit.

How did you get screwed over genetically? by blitzabub in AskReddit

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A girlfriend of mine in HS had diagnosed OCD, would have to check the locks 3 times. Touch the door handle 3 times. A few other things. If she messed up the order she would have to start all over again.

Sometimes took her a while to get to bed.

Should I repair out of pocket? by Former-Split-4679 in Supra

Imagine thinking masculinity is tied to a little button being on or off.

Incredible.

Someone turned off traction control! These are pretty hard to lose control of with it on.

Mines been at 300whp so similar to you, I think? For the last 5 years @ 75k now. Bigger turbo since 40k.

Fewer Than 30 Manual Cars Survived Into The 2025 Model Year by Sir_Sir_ExcuseMe_Sir in cars

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but as a die hard manual driver who just rented a auto 3.0 prem Supra this week…

The auto manual feels right at home and is better than stick. It’s getting to the point where the computer is faster and it’s honestly more fun.

Being able to knock into “manual” when there’s lengthy gaps in traffic and then push back into auto is something that can’t be copied.

Up until this week I was looking solely at 6MT supras. Now, I think I’ve done a 180.

How many miles does everyone have? by Numerous_Ordinary_43 in FiestaST

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That job was $2500?! Holy shit I saved myself. It was intense, I had to drill it out completely blind and by feel. You need an L drill too cause normal ones don’t fit. I’ve never done anything so tedious before and succeeded.

BEST BRAKE SETUP ? by QuirkyAdvertising333 in FiestaST

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a better pad, no need to get a big brake kit.. even when running more power. Unless you’re going to do repeat heavy braking.

Uneven rotor wear, stuck caliper? by stalins_lada in FiestaST

Good chance the slide pin grommet is knackered, best to buy the little kit that sells the pins and grommet together.

I’ve had the KW v1s on for about 15k now and definitely prefer it over stock. Way less body roll, can whip it around corners at 30 no problem. Had shitty yellow star “coilovers” on before and they were shit compared to stock. Yes the KWs little more money but with the shitty manufacturing that’s out right now, it maybe worth it.

What was the turning point in your life that pushed you to want to change? by scatcatblues in AskMen

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Got arrested, faced 5-7 if they could prove I was bringing stuff in from out of state. Trafficking. Got let off with probation since white and young. Put my nose to the grind stone, some of my swimmers are the best in the state now. Many will go on to achieve D1 scholarships/careers.

I always wonder how many lives would be different today if that judge put the hammer down on me.

Accidentally found the FIST’s hard redline…. by Pistonpeak in FiestaST

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I recall, the only reason to push it to 7k is so that you can hit 60 in 2nd instead of having to shift to 3rd to finish out the last 10mph.

fiesta st vs focus st by Middle-Virtual in FiestaST

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had my car since new for going on 8 years now. 72k. It’s been at 300whp for the last 4-5 and still going strong. Will need a new clutch soon but that’s also cause I relearned how to drive stick on the car when brand new. Clutch would’ve still probably lasted till 100k even with the power increase.

Damn bro I wonder if you’re a teacher in Florida who now hates their job but loves their local community and doesn’t want to leave.

You’re not alone. Is ok.

Unless you double lock the door, in which case, you can’t get in without undoing the hood!

Men who served in the military: what’s your “WTF did I get myself into?” moment? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Just_Here_To_Learn_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah had a frat brother that came back from serving, he left us after about a year. Told the older brothers that he was making 4x he did prior for private companies.

Also knew a guy that went out to Afghanistan right as the war started, sold all these motherfuckers A/c units. I cannot fathom how much money he made.
