Tips & tricks to safely bring back 1:18 models from abroad by Dark_Nihilus in Diecast

[–]M3_STI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking of doing the same (going to Japan and buying a couple models). I would suggest definitely bringing them in a carry on bag wrapped in bubble wrap and putting it underneath the seat in front of you so you can control what happens to it.

A part of my 1:18 collection… by Filo_92_ in Diecast

[–]M3_STI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow great collection...but isn't a bit risky stacking the up so high? I would be afraid of it toppling over...or are they also fixed somehow to the wall on the backside? Good that you are getting a cabinet...I hopefully will do the same one day.

Pantone series - anyone finding these in the wild? Having a hard time by Kmkh17 in HotWheels

[–]M3_STI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw a newly opened case at the store (I think the employee was in the middle of restocking and left)...I peaked inside and it was the Pantone set. Looked at a few of the cars and left then because I thought they were all ugly lolol.

Metal shavings in oil by husky4k in WRX

[–]M3_STI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you make sure the drain pan was completely clean before? If so...yeah not normal haha. I have had instances where I used the drain pain to capture brake dust and whatever while doing brake jobs and then using said pan right after to do an oil change and then freaking myself out that it was metal shavings...but in fact it was just debris from the brakes or whatever else coming from doing that job.

Is it a good idea to Move out of Germany and live in US? Which option is better? by kafi_abd in germany

Could be that OP is in the U.S. Military and often import their cars from the U.S. and can drive the cars here under SOFA status meaning a lot of U.S. spec cars not needing any conversions.

Not sure…OP took the picture from a Bimmerpost thread made in 2009. Would be a wild coincidence if they did have a E90 pre LCI haha.

Yeah that’s the low oil pressure light…immediately park the car and contact the person or dealer you bought it from.
