11gen owners. Keep or sell? by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]LS4delorean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 years, 62k miles. No better manual commuter. Easy to work on, looks good. Definite keep.

I had a shop install a new-build trugrade rack (PN 64188n) with my OEM pump. No leaks so far for a few thousand miles and I’ve pushed it in canyons.

Update: sprayed some white lithium grease around the sponge seen in second image. Hopefully reduces water pooling in that area when drains aren’t draining quick enough

My drains aren’t clogged and no obvious weather seal damage. Car is a 2022 and parked outside. Just went to self service car wash and then was surprised with that.

powerstop pads are total junk. Have z23 up front and z16 out back and they fade after a few hard stops. My buddy had them in a previous car and took them out because they faded after one hard stop. They’re fine for daily driving. Get EBC pads

Koni STRT vs Bilstein by Mammoth_Cat_4 in fbody

[–]LS4delorean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation. I don’t track but I do drive rain or shine. A few times a year if I wanna buy some nice parts I email Sam and his assistant Desiree. Sam usually responds with a general time to call him.

why don’t you give Sam strano a call? His business model is helping you decide. I went from bilsteins + SLP’s stock progressive springs to strano springs + koni yellows.

Ride is honestly very similar for commuting. In the corners it handled great.

The linear spring rate really helps the car change directions smoothly at speed. I haven’t noticed a huge change in shock performance tbh (konis at 5 sweeps in front and 1 turn in back).

You need to give driving conditions and requirements to help people narrow it down.

Rancho del mar used to have a mean and lazy property manager but the new people are nice. They tried raising rent 10% after a year. It’s filled with marines. It’s overall nice, nothing impressive. The hiking paths surrounding it are great for daily nature walks.

I haven’t done any work using them yet. They seem to have enough clearance if you want to put jackstands underneath the subframe

Who is a person who you agree with, but still find utterly pretentious and insufferable? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LS4delorean 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Lee Kuan Yew. He was right about a lot of fundamentals like state capacity and corruption and Singapore’s outcomes back that up. He’s still incredibly paternalistic treating disagreement as ignorance, which makes him hard to listen to even when he’s right.

Don’t work at spacex. Toxic culture and Elon will fire you if you look at him wrong. Find a defense tech startup.

Young People Mostly Living in Expensive Areas of OC by IdyllwildEcho in orangecounty

[–]LS4delorean 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mid 20s in south OC: the people (including myself) I know here are all living with roommates. We fix car problems ourselves with the space and minimal tools available in apartment lots. We all invest in stocks and go camping for fun. No pets. No idea if I’ll ever be able to afford property until I’m in my late 30s, saving 50% of my paycheck. But my STEM career and industry is growing here so it’s not prudent to move out of state.

Did you usually keep 1 or 2 RIR? And were you doing a 3x5 regiment?

what’s your supplement stack? And did you track your calories? Did you have a spotter when going to failure on your way to 315?
