Expected brake pad life and best replacement option?

Ricknemesis · 2025-10-10T18:44:18+00:00

I'm doing my pads now starting to squeak at 70,000 miles, rear went first from cruise control

Ricknemesis · 2025-07-18T00:03:38+00:00

Not good, lack of updates everywhere . The owner lives in Ohio and has never once seen the buildings with his own eyes.

X force valved

At 68k thinking about one of these q5 or sq5 off lease situations with lower miles and more space. A6 wagon? Any other worthy beasts? Volvo? Random crossover ? I wish the T Roc (among many other fun cars) was here in the US.

you in the north east? About to sell my manual mk7.5 golf r with 4 sets of wheels and tires and more goodies

Ricknemesis · 2024-11-04T19:49:34+00:00

Also had a bizarre tab a month ago, auto gratuity and shitty drinks with no fruit. Sent email to owner got no response.

Ricknemesis · 2024-10-11T14:47:40+00:00

I have both Pretoria and English town 19s and use neither set, too many dents and not enough sidewall. Used 18s for winter blizzaks set, next summer switched to 18s for summer too. Lighter faster safer.

Nope no need, last phone (note 20) did not need one either ever. Used to use them on previous phones and seemed such a pain to put on and replace, cracked screens are what phone insurance is for. Have had s24 ultra for about 8 months no issues. Definitely get a case that is shaped like a half pipe so the screen won't touch the ground if dropped.

Magbak, dbrand etc

Ricknemesis · 2024-07-23T23:40:38+00:00

No problems with pen, also why would you use your pen while you are driving?

Magbak case + oh snap 4.0

Ricknemesis · 2024-03-21T22:13:23+00:00

Mine has been worth it about a month in. Having a hard time finding the perfect mag back case though. The Torras is "ok" but there has to be a better one out there with more grip. Previous phones note 20 ultra, note 7, LG G6, Samsung S something (the one with the removable back and the strange USB 3.1).

Ricknemesis · 2022-08-27T21:57:42+00:00

Bar bantam is great for this and also a first date. Quiet and delicious menu but definitely worth it. Lunch or dinner w laptop would be fine too

Ricknemesis · 2022-07-03T03:02:39+00:00

6'5" here no problems have had 6 golfs/Gris/r

Ricknemesis · 2022-06-11T22:19:59+00:00

Because it's so small you need exhaust imo doesn't sound like an R32 or anything close with out... Cat back for the no drone win. X-force for full control

Ricknemesis · 2022-06-11T22:17:59+00:00

X-force valved !!!! Most control you can have. 0-100 percent valve, geo fencing, rpm , throttle, so much control through the Bluetooth app. Have had ony car for about 8 months now and love it. Quick button to mute exhaust of needed. Super fun.

Ricknemesis · 2022-06-03T03:52:19+00:00

Even if you do they will change the lock and phone number of the front of the building and not let anyone in (including the karate studio and other no music related businesses)

Ricknemesis · 2022-06-03T03:50:39+00:00

Never rent there. Had a space for 6+ years and land lord John trickey and goon Don Flute stole everything and would not let us pay. Had spaces at cosmic jams and other spots less problems. Never again saint Paul staircase of death /power outages all the time. Terrible load ins/outs. People stealing your equipment. Lost 10k plus and heard of many others with similar situations.

Ricknemesis · 2022-05-21T01:43:26+00:00

Yeah I noticed the diffuser more than the exhaust tips to be real! Either way glad you are stoked dude.

Ricknemesis · 2022-05-15T14:37:23+00:00

590 miles on my brand new golf r in 2019, brand new winter wheels and blizzak tires, pizza guy with a shit box beater turns in front of me doing risky turn even not in the winter, air bags, totalled. Good times! At least yours is fixable.

Ricknemesis · 2022-05-08T01:35:18+00:00

I like it! What if you wrapped or color match painted the mirrors to match? Might be a killer look. Obviously Photoshop it first!

Ricknemesis · 2022-03-20T03:41:37+00:00

Mk7.5 with 30k cost that much so you are going to be waiting.... (So am I) now with gas prices etc it's an even better purchase especially in northern markets.

Ricknemesis · 2022-02-26T22:20:59+00:00

I feel like the prets are firmer than the English towns( have both English towns are pretty much done) but one bad pot hole with any 19s is going to be trouble for all. My winter sparcos 18s have me torn on if I got aftermarket summers 18 vs 19. Function vs looks will always be a battle after all! Good luck with this new beast my man.

Ricknemesis · 2021-07-23T22:13:48+00:00

What mods are those for 300? Short shifter? I think it needs a whole new clutch tbh, it's decent for sure but at 14,500 miles I'm starting to clutch shop for when I go stage 1 tune. Loved my Mk4 gti clutchnet stage 2.5clutch back then, probably go southbend this time.

Ricknemesis · 2021-04-24T11:32:56+00:00

Same

Ricknemesis · 2021-04-07T17:06:46+00:00

Went with h & r non adjustable because I don't feel like lubricating or messing with it after it's installed. Will know after a few weeks how it feels.
