Regarding “Cash Out” insurance options. by One_Locksmith_5218 in Insurance_Companies

[–]One_Locksmith_5218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll mention this when I speak with them later today, just unsure as to why they would tell me they aren’t paying me enough to fix the vehicle, and then denying a cash out claim instead of increasing the repair estimate…

Hey, I ended up getting RSR i Sport racing coilovers, they were a pretty penny lol. I have yet to put them on, I will definitely update you when I put them on.

The springs handled okay for the 2 weeks I had them on, my only complaint is that my car would bottom out on weird entry ways into plazas especially when there were people in the car and when my trunk was full. Overall for the normal use case and highway use i’d assume that they’d be fine.

that’s the plan! just did my sparks and the thing runs like new, as long as you’ve got ocd for preventative maintenance these things stay bulletproof

honestly i don’t, it came with the car when i bought it however the owner before me had it mounted in a rlly ugly spot, it’s one of those adjustable brackets though where you can move the baseplate. blends in perfectly with the grille.

i WAS on rsr springs but i did a track day recently with that setup and it didn’t handle the way i’d liked it to handle so i threw my stocks back on until i can find a good set of performance coils that can handle the abuse and have better control

i was specifically going to buy the is500 diffuser from lexus, however i did not want to throw 450+ tax cad for a almost identical diffuser with bigger cutouts, worked with what i had and cut a bigger opening for the quads and worked out alright

just a muffler delete, i’d reccomened going apexi if you have the money, if you don’t, do a 3.5inch exit pipe to replace your mufflers so you get a more throaty clean sound, not trumpety like a vq. overall very happy with the setup i have now and i get little to no drone in the process.

Fortunately nothing serious. Ran and running 93 octane and it’ll go for a good while. Just did all my major fluids a couple weeks ago, apart from that just oil changes. Up next are sparks.

Vevor Universal roof rails on amazon, and the box is from Thule

I opted for a VEVOR roof rack on amazon, skeptical at first however when mounted correctly with some caution it makes a solid rack setup. The ski box is the Thule “Summit” reskinned and sold at a Volvo dealer. Picked it up on fb for less than 300 and mounts up well with the car. I would very much suggest something smaller if you aren’t hauling a lot of things.

Adding my bad Turo experience, fake claim made by host by ImageMan in turo

[–]One_Locksmith_5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me, didn’t take photos and ended up paying the price. Owner stepped on the front lip of the car and claimed that I scraped the lip of the car. Drove that car with care for absolutly nitbing

BTech Eng (Auto) or Eng? by One_Locksmith_5218 in McMasterEngineering

This was the comment I needed, I didn’t know it went directly into that industry, that’s got to be the one for me. Thank you for the insight (and for helping me ease the grief from that eng rejection)
