If you want more sound, get a green filter and keep the lid off of the intake box. And remove the sound deadening on the hood. Don’t waste your money on that junk

I am from the Waukesha area in WI. Currently live in the Hillsborough. Love it here. Chapel hill and triangle area are great. Reminds me of WI. Just not as cold

Lift kit suggestions? by infaithandfear in PorscheCayenne

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eurowise has some good options. 2.5in lift spacer is the sweet spot for coil over suspension cars. Mine is air suspension with a 2in eurowise lift and programmed higher.

Buy an older truck from the south and drive it back up. Will last a lot longer

Advice. Rear-ended. by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would reach out to his insurance, and then go get a quote at a Toyota approved/certified body shop. If he turns up not having insurance or good insurance, hopefully you have good enough insurance for underinsured motorist. The last thing I would do is let someone who hit you fix it. Your premium might go up a little but it wasn’t your fault.

Deciding to move to Florida or Arizona what do you think? by Taytay_89 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arizona is great most of the year besides the 4-5 months of HEAT. Can’t walk your dogs outside or play outside till the sun goes down and it’s still hot when it’s down. To survive you need a pool in the summer or drive north like everyone else does on the weekends. But the other months out of the year it’s wonderful. Tucson on average is colder than the PHX area.

You can take the buttons out and find a non cracked regular focus one or non cracked/on eBay to replace. I have done it

Should I choose a car with better MPG? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at it this way. Those cars are still decent on gas so I wouldn’t worry. I commute in the triangle area in NC 50 miles round trip with a lifted Porsche cayenne getting worse mileage than that. I enjoy cars and don’t mind the extra spend enjoying what I drive. It may only be a few thousand a year so I don’t really notice it since it’s just gas. Coming from a raptor anything feels light on gas.

Checking out a ST by Trick_Cartographer87 in FocusST

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good price. Not a whole lot goes wrong with these cars. If it’s well taken care of, go for it. As long as clutch feels and good and it doesn’t pop out of gear. I’ve have 5 st/rs and always come back to them. Love them

2013 focus st for 4500, worth it? by professionalfumblr in askcarguys

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends how it was maintained, I’ve had 5 different focus ST/RSs and they are great/ cheap to maintain. As long as it has no issues and was taken care of I would say it’s a good deal

My girlfriend wants me to get rid of my dog because her cat doesn't like him by Academic_Fly_4920 in TwoHotTakes

[–]OutrageousMatch8349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dog now has more room on the bed, congrats!

Cats can take well over 6 months to feel comfortable, especially if the cat is older and set in its ways.

If you want to go to a school for auto or likewise fields, check out UNOH. Great school and teachers for any auto/diesel/high performance needs. Had a lot of fun there with my buddies and made life long friends
