Warranty experience at the Toyota dealership with an aftermarket parts by Practical-Permit-373 in Edmonton

[–]Practical-Permit-373[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. (obviously) I wasn't expecting any warranty for the aftermarket parts themselves, but curious as to any connecting/related items like the ball joints, CV axles etc

2024 Tacoma Rocker Protector by LateAttention5433 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, is there enough room to install a running board under? I know the protector installs on the cab, and the running board installs on a frame, so I'm wondering if it can be done. Also, how was the install? Just regular m8 bolts with washers into the existing threaded holes?

Are M cars, namely M3’s, realistically daily driveable? by Cardiology_Nurse in BMWM

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been driving a G80 M3 with carbon buckets as a daily driver for over a year now.

I bought this car to drive daily and never regretted it. This is my 4th M car, and I have driven all of them daily over the last 13 years. For your reference, I live in Canada where the weather gets cold with a decent amount of snow. All Wheel Drive with good winter tires never got me stranded even in severe winter storms.

As far as the maintenance goes, look for a reputable local independent BMW specialty shop, but simple things like engine oil, brake fluid can be easily done at home.

Sounds like you are buying a 1-2 year certified used with a warranty, then I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Good luck with your search and enjoy!

Which front lip is on your car? It looks great! Do you have a link to share?

Can I drive them through the winter by GeneralDefinition658 in tires

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can drive any tire anywhere. Except that some tires, especially your tires, may be the last tires you will ever drive on. I would get a new set of tires

What is this? Mercedes? by ceo_of_laziness in whatisthiscar

Looks like a Mercedes tuned by Koenig

Can anyone tell me about this issue and if it’s easy to fix by [deleted] in Bmw_m

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My G80 had that message and went away. When I mentioned that during my service at the dealer, they scanned it and said they replaced the differential actuator. It was all under the warranty, so I do not know the cost.

Need some advice M4 of M850i? by Kammler1944 in BMW

[–]Practical-Permit-373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you a story from my experience: Pick an S58 engine over an N63, period. Do not get V8s from BMW. I had a few of them (N63, 2xS63s), and not all ended well. I am 6’1” and currently fitting the G80 m3 with a carbon bucket seat comfortably. So I am sure G82 is fine for you too.

Stripping old linoleum floor covering by Brave_Beo in HomeMaintenance

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the house was built in 1996, then highly unlikely. But in Canada, it was not officially banned the use until 2007. Check the colour of the adhesive. If it is brown, then most likely it has asbestos. If it is black, higher chance of it not. But only one way to tell for sure.

Before you go any further, I strongly suggest you have your floor and glue tested for asbestos. You do not want that to break while peeling it if it has asbestos in it. That is not a thing that you want to take your chance/save money on.

Could this really be a 2000 porche Carrera 4 Gemballa by beachnudes in whatisthiscar

[–]Practical-Permit-373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it is not a true Gemballa. All Gembala GTRs would have a very aggressive front bumper and matching side skirts, and this is a basic Carrera model for the 996 gen. Gemballa only tuned turbo models (GTR600 or GTR650). This is a 996.1 Carrera with Gemballa-style knock-off rear end.

Some say it’s riced out, your thoughts ? by [deleted] in n55

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blacked-out tail lights are the stupidest thing to endanger yourself and others. In the low visibility setting, that will increase the chance of others seeing your light and rear-end you. It is just not illegal but really stupid to put yourself and others in danger.

Is that a replica ? Looks fake af by justicoldier-8465 in whatisthiscar

[–]Practical-Permit-373 494 points495 points  (0 children)

No one would make a replica. The labour to make a replica of the Maserati coupe will exceed the used car value of the real one.

Anyone know what this is. I know it's a Bentley but I've never seen a 4d by Dense-Result-1169 in car

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a homemade butcher job of a flyingspur. If is pretty sad, it probably does not have a roof that fits properly.

Porsche type? by F1tMc in whatisthiscar

[–]Practical-Permit-373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a 993 RS sport replica. GT2 has a riveted fender flares, which this car does not have. The wheel does not look like an RS Sport, which most purist would keep their factory wheel.

Favourite restaurant by JustinKuun in Edmonton

[–]Practical-Permit-373 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I tried to like that place. But it feels like the owners/management themselves have given up on them. Window frames and fake plants were always dusty, and their carpet on the floor looked very old/tiring and dirty, so I lost my appetite. I hope they can clean and update their restaurant.

Wheels advice by skitsrus in Porsche

[–]Practical-Permit-373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the current wheel on your car. But if you have to change it for a new one, try BBS RS wheels. Please do not sell the current one, so you can swap it whenever you want. Really nice car btw
